Just think that if we knew about KP what we know now we might have actually had a chance at LMA cause if the rumors were right the interview with us was canceled because he didn't want to play center and wanted to play PF but Phil told him he'd want him to play the center spot mostly. That's not saying we still would have got him but the rumors were also that he was intrigued with the Knicks so you never know.

PG--Calderon
SG--A.Afflalo
SF--Melo
PF--LMA
C--KP

Would you guys rather that lineup or:
PG--Calderon
SG--A.Afflalo
SF--Melo
PF--KP
C--R.Lopez

I'm all about option #1

Texas boy going to a great and storied team which also happens to be located in Texas with a chance to win a title...can't get any better him.

I'm sure he also believed all the hype about KP being a 3-5 year project.

I think he made the right decision for himself given the info he had at the time.

Where we need help is the backcourt. Afflalo and Calderon are solid, but no team in the league is a contender without atleast 1 star in the backcourt. Spurs maybe, but Tony Parker is still way better than any backcourt player we have. And they've got a good creator in Ginobli and a strong guard rotation. Parker's production and impact blows away any guard we have. The rest of the top teams have an Curry, Irving/James, Westbrook, Lowry type of player.

If we can get say possibly a DeRozan or a Conley this summer, the Knicks will be very good over the coming years.

I always believed that we never really had a shot at getting Aldridge...and I think Phil knew this.
