Approaching his prime, and finally healed, I Man Shumpert can average 15 and 6 rebounds in his sleep.

With Melo attracting attention, Bargnani will drop 18.6 a game, minimal.

Carmelo averages 24.9, with a smile.

It's called better balance.

Shump hasn't shown that scoring ability yet. I still predict Felton out scores him. Bargnani should score in the mid to high teens, depending on how he's used and how consistent he can play. 20 point scorers are rare in today's league.

Carmelo desperately needed a scoring sidekick and now he has one who, as you noted, can drop mid to high teens.

Balanced scoring works.

Six men in double figures.

I dont see this as a championship team. We have so much money in 4 guys. Our trouble is paying so much for Tyson Chandler and the role players that followed Novak Camby Kidd alone were 11mm that another 25mm in 4 players. We shouldve spent more money in the draft for a big man and a PG.

Its a slow team. Anthony's not fast and Chandler and Bargs arent beating people down the floor. If Melo goes down this team is giving away a top 5 pick in the best draft in 20 years. If Lebron goes down Miami can still compete. Kind of scary. I think we got the best of the last trade but like someone mentioned--does it matter?

We don't own our owe 2014 draft pick already... went to Denver in Melo trade.

I know--thats why I said were giving away a lotto pick.

Oh got it, price we paid for Melo. On another note, didn't the Knicks play fairly well without Melo last year?

They did, but I think it was based on guys like Kidd Copeland JR Smith a collaborative effort. While we do not have a finished line up--it will be interesting to see how our roster does indeed fill out. It would be helpful if we could turn Chandler into three players and use the mini MLE on a C or PF

Right now the ? is roster balance and do we have that.
