When is the date the Knicks can sign ten-day contracts from the D-League? I think it is sometime in January right?

No thanks. I'd rather go with J.Grant/Gallo combo over either of those two.

when we play well, and we get production from KOQ & D Williams, I like our roster and would be hesitant to tamper with our parts, even Calderon.

I'd agree with Briggs, and try a D League/unsigned FA move and hope they can blossom like Galloway.

This summer we're going to have a tough time as the way Afflalo is playing, he is going to opt out and get a big pay day.

This is why I always criticized Fisher. His terrible use of our roster makes it look as if our talents don't match, but I don't believe that is the case. If he could simply realize that Calderon is no longer a starting PG but a backup SG, that would bring much clarity to the roster. Our starting back court needs an infusion of youth/speed. A dude who will not be reluctant to attack the basket, as well as, a dude that can defend. That dude is Grant/Gallo. Either of those two would be a drastic upgrade from Calderon as PG


I'm gonna go on a hunch here and say that Fisher knows a **** of a lot more than you or anyone on here who fits where in this offense and gotta believe that he's playing who fits best what they're trying to do and if he wasn't then i'm sure Phil would be in his ear telling him to make changes. It's so easy to say "well all ya gotta do is play this guy here and that guy there" when you're saying it from behind a computer screen. I think that maybe some of you think we have all this great talent on this team but really we're just a average to good team and this team needs a heck of a lot more work to be done to it before we're a legit playoff team.

We should have just signed Lin. The guy is making under 2MM a year for the next two years. He is and was better than Caledron. Jackson for whatever reason passed and brought in a guy that sucked 5 years ago in Sasha.

We needed an uptempo guard that can penetrate. Certainly would have provided the scoring that we needed as well.

Martin can score and 7MM is reasonable, but can't have 15MM tied up in Jose and Martin

I think you are probably right. The guys out there that are being mentioned in rumors that are intriguing to me are Noah, Gibson, and Morris.

He's currently making 32.7% of his mid-range shots and 36.5% overall. I hope Phil doesn't think that's good!

but what is the cause? injury or age?


I believe they said Martin has a Wrist injury.

thats bad for him especially since he has that quirky wrist shot

so here is what phil is thinking ....

Looking at the team, the one hole that's obvious on both O and D is Calderon. But Calderon does some intangibles that don't always show up. I don't have a huge desire to see Calderon move on, but that's clear area this team can upgrade. Even tonight, too easy for Rose to get by Calderon. Having a starting PG that has the physical tools to defend PG's and match up is significant. I even feel lately Galloway has been showing it.

We need a passing and scoring and attacking PG --- not a shooting guard at this time

And Grant should never shoot another jump shot until he asks Lance Thomas how the hell he turned into a decent shooter

Papabear Says

Lin would be a distraction and you know it. That 25 million? Dolan and Melo ad Mills would never approve.

Yes it is true that I am either sitting behind a phone or a computer; but that does not make me clueless to the game. As know, I have been calling for those two to play a heavy role for the Knicks since the beginning. It is no coincidence why we play more like a balanced squad when these dudes are on the court. We play faster and we are a much better defensive team given who is in the back court. For you to claim that Fisher knows a hell of a lot more then many of us here is simply ludicrous. He doesn't have the resume as a coach to show back your claim.

Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

Lin is a ball dominant back court Player who would never be able to coexist with Carmelo; and further, does not fit a triangle system

Dude, you have to first actually establish that the Knicks do play better when they're on the court prior to establishing whether it i a coincidence or not.

Have you done that?

I think Lin signing the poison pill deal sealed his fate as never being a Knick again. I think Dolan holds a grudge (see Mike Woodson having to fire his agent because the guy was also Larry Brown's agent).

You're kidding right?? I don't claim that Fisher knows a hell of a lot more than MANY on here, i claim that Fisher knows a hell of a lot more than EVERYONE on here and the only thing that would be ludicrous would be anyone on a message board claiming they know more than a guy that's actually played for what 14/15/16 years and is now coaching in the NBA. That would be ludicrous. Hahaha

Please let's have some continuity and develop chemistry which is even more important than talent.
I really wish we could stop to find the quick fix. If we make the playoffs, fine. It's gonna be a good experience. If not, as long as the team stay competitive and give 100% effort, I'm ok with that.
Let's not forget that teams like GS and SA have found success with this recipe.
I think this is probably the smart approach. Once ten day contracts start I think the Knicks will sign a point guard from the d l. I don't know if Jimmer is what the knicks need but he might be the guy they bring up.

Its to bad we don't have our first, that pick would of netted us another cheap starter. That Bargs trade set us back easily another year and cost us 10 mil in cap space for that players replacement.

Martin doesn't make the Knicks better to hand over an asset over. The only way I make a trade is if we get a younger player to build towards the future or we get a player that can get us into the playoffs and Martin doesn't
