Focus should be 100000% on the backcourt/wing type shooter/slasher/penetrator.

It is intriguing. Would be like Rodman or Artest a malcontent but turned around

Big issue is Phil was the coach /horse-whisperer then

Whoever is coaching for us (Vogel please) would have to tell Howard to focus/dominate on D

Maybe we flip rolo for draft pick?

this... I think what people are missing in a Dwight scenario is how valuable Rolo is. Great contract, can anchor a defense and does tons of things to make the team better. Rolo will never be able to dominate a game like Howard does.

Boston is desperate for a guy like Rolo. Give me Crowder and pick 16 for Rolo, max out Dwight for 4 years.

I am not a Dwight fan at all, but this gives the Knicks nice potential, another pick to build up the roster and a young player part of the long term. The idea is simple, compete now, and build up the roster. Knicks need to be better and make the playoffs. At the end of Dwight's deal KP would be 24-25. Then its his squad and he will have some players that have been around for a couple years and have grown together. Willy, Grant, Wroten, Early... how knows how many or who pans out, but you build it now, you compete for a couple years, you get the younger guys in the playoffs and playing meaningful games and after 4 years its the next generation of Knicks.

Its a plan. Really comes down to what we can get for Rolo

I'd prefer one of their glut of defensive-minded guards over Jae

Also I would sincerely hope we don't max Howard. Needs to be team friendly or we'll be handicapping our and his hopes for success. Guy is already loaded

He may be a clown but he's been to the Finals and is always in the playoffs. He would be an upgrade in talent. He would help open things up for our other players. More easy alleyoops and put backs. The only time he's a problem is when he's not involved but he will be involved here in this offense.

Watch out for Portland cause they're just a big man away from being a beast of a team with D.Lilliard, CJ.McCollum, A.Aminu and some other really good young pieces.

I think he has a lot to prove. He was really hurt in LA and shouldn't have played, so if you discount that he has played pretty well the past couple of seasons.

Harden literally eats the clock and he doesn't get the touches or the shots. Big men rarely respond when they aren't involved in the offense.

18pts 12rbs (11.3fga - 59%)
15.8pts 10.5rbs (10.3fga 59%)
13.7pts 11.8rbss (8.5fga - 62%)

Maybe his numbers drop again but the rebounding is there. A 3 year 45MM deal is fair for him right now. He still commands attention and KP would open up the paint for him. Not going to happen, but RoLo for a guard would be a nice move for this team.

He played well for us, but it's not like the Blazers are missing him big time.

I love Crowder and would love to have him but i'd really like to get Avery Bradley from them.

So was Melo before he got here.

Well isn't the point that we need to increase the talent on the team? Don't you think that it only helps to upgrade the talent as much as we can? Depending on what they signed him for there could still be enough money to add a FA guard as well. Of course that all depends on what DWILL and AA do with their opt outs.

You upgrade through the draft, not through signing over the hill cancer players with back problems.

Knicks been committing this cardinal sin on loop like it seems forever this century. We need to TANK HARD this upcoming year to get that talent to add along side KP. You don't add free agents when you got jack shyt in place. We got one pillar or building block in place, need to add a 2nd. And then some role players. Then some depth. Then you begin to think about adding some hot sauce to that equation, not before.
