Didn't known could use that on here. You're right, that's much more fitting.

He in the sports entertainment industry.

You expect him to be loud.

That's just his schtick- sometimes I agree with him, sometimes I don't- he's just loud.

Sometimes when you have nothing special to say, if you raise your voice or use a lot of inflection you can attract more attention that your words actually deserve. He's a cartoon figure or caricature, full of sound and fury... and frequently signifying nothing.

Pay no mind to that man behind the loud mouth curtain.

I usually appreciate him but I really liked David Aldridge. Wish both guys worked for espn still. Not sure why Stephen A. is on vacation during the biggest week in the nba for talk show speculating (draft, free agency). Espn doesn't have Mel Kiper go on vacation for the draft.

Well Draft isnt until 4 and 1/2 months after the Superbowl in football, the NBA has it immediately after the season, the guy has been traveling constantly since October.

yep
recall Melo didnt sign himself to absurd contract $$$ to stay Phil J. did
and signed him. If we're going to move into different directions for success improving team then why sign ?

Melo cant stay or sign himself
*mistake GM number 1

Totally agree. It was a really bad move to sign him. That doesn't make Screaming A a good analyst.
But after a year of MarshMelo especially given he now also carries the injury prone tag Phil maybe heeding his bets and planning for the future instead of what is popularly called win now.

It's a stretch for a 17 win team to be win now. And it's been clear to some of us that Meli won't win anything now or later. We don't need to she on that but U for one like the direction we made instead of making this draft about Melo we made it about the Knicks.

It's a high risk high reward move. It may result in a great player or it may not. But that's how picks go and there's nothing wrong with it. I personally wanted Winslow, he would have contributed more. But I see no need to launch a tirade against Phil because he didn't pick JW

He said the truth and You're authority to call him an idiot ?

And you're an authority on absolutely nothing. Listen: I didn't agree with the pick but now that it's made its done so either support the team or move on. Whining and making incoherent posts isn't a good look.

Im thrilled we traded Hardaway , I couldn't stand him. I can't believe Phil got a top 20 pick for him

Completely agree. DJ checked out to the Raptors and then shows back up around Phil and especially to take continual shots on draft night.

you're getting your dj's confused. this isn't dj the raptors fan. two different guys.

Then my bad and I apologize for the mix up.

WCS - 9ppg 6rebs and ZERO offensive game in 3 years
Winslow - a 6'5 guy who played his best ball at PF
Mudiay - 15 games of Chinese experience since high school
Mario - foreign white guy who shoots 3s, dunks and pouts when he's not playing well

I mean we can do this all day... there was no "established" help now player outside of Frank and maybe WCS, who is totally unproven and has shown no game on the offensive side of the ball.

They are all projects.. we just took one he didnt like

WAKEUPKNICKS2015 wrote:Steph Curry was also a project.

Great point. After his ankle problems we'd have called for his head to be traded!!!!
SAS if we passed on Kris could ranted in two years how team has no patience!!!

SAS is captain obvious.

But with that said, SAS can be off base at times. And usually when he's this upset about something, he's usually wrong. And he mostlikely overreacted what Phil did on draft day.

I thought Mudiay was the BPA, but getting Grant just neutralized that move. I like Grant better than Mudiay as a right now player. And when Phil said he's not afraid to take a project, it was obvious the pick was Zinger. I think he was leaning towards WCS and Kaminsky, but decided to go upside because he builds his team through free agency, not the draft. He uses the draft for upside talent.

what makes you think so?
