The way the Knicks are assembled--with Bargs Tyson and Carmelo--it becomes a slower lumbering team. Add in a PG who is slow and a 2G who cant shoot--I just dont think its going to work.

Somehow we need to turn Chandler into multiple young assets--we need to break his 12mm into 3-4 different contracts or draft picks. We need a strategy to improve the team for the longer term. If the Knicks want to keep Melo--they have to strategically alter their plans how to surround him.

SanAntonio is a slow team. no ?

The team in NY that Riley coached to the finals was a slow team too.

What we need is a coach who will generate and dictate a style of play that suits our roster .

All that pipe dream trading and gathering multiple picks ain't happening in NY and you know it.

This is why I want Lionel Hollins ans the Knicks next head coach.

I'm playa and I approve of this message !

Tony Parker is one of the fastest quickest guards in the league and he controls their tempo. But youre right when playoff times comes they have little chance against the new champions in waiting---OKC.

Tony Parker may be fast, but the team doesn't play fast. What they do is move the ball fast, they are still a slow team.

Nobody is expecting us to beat Miami, but we need to play the way that best suits this roster, Pat Riley showed us the blueprint.
He went from the racing up and down the court show time(Lakers) to grind it out tough, slow ya roll type( 90's Knicks) of basketball.

Fans here want a team how THEY WANT ASSEMBLED, now that where a delusional approach is discussed here on the forum. Everyone knows that's not realistic with Dolan & Isiah at the helm.

Actually, the Spurs play at the 10th fastest pace in the league, 95.1 possessions/game.

I'm fine with trading Chandler but we should be trading Melo too then.
You don't readjust your rebuilding plan for Bargnani. He's just a bench player being forced to start.
And defensive stops will speed up, not slow down, the team. We'll still be slow though.

trading chandler and JR will get the ball rolling.. carmelo will opt out and then we can finally move forward...

Knickerbocker please

A team is a reflection of their coach, that's nothing new unless all you want the team to do is appease your wants.
