Now if Melo were 27, it would be a different story. He and KP would continue to grow for several more years in tandem and hopefully as KP was 25-27 there would be another stud behind him

that's how a good team would be run. See Spurs as exhibit A

sht! how do you get this inside future info?

Doc asked what people 'saw' as the timeline. He posted what he sees as the timeline. But you can quote it as insider info. It is at least as credible as some of the stuff you quote.

doc?

btw, whats your opinion on phil? straight answer if possible and no rush.

I don't think he is under any pressure from Dolan at all. I don't think he cares what Melo's opinion is and I don't think he makes decisions based on what Melo wants or desires. I don't think he has leaks in his office and I do think that most if not all of the 'rumors' from unnamed sources in the ny tabloids are fiction. I think he blew it with the Fisher hire. I think there was a lot going on that got Fisher fired. I think he is comfortable with Kurt and I think he would love to still coach but can't physically. I think he knows Kurt gives him the best chance to fill his desire to coach if he is kept on. I think if he is struggling to decide on a coach it is because if he goes with someone other than Rambis he looses at least some of his voice as a psuedo coach.

not bad ... pretty fare

do you think that there is any issue with him being so heavily reliant on the triangle?

do you think that even if he does not care what melo says or thinks, that mills and dolan may and since melo has an NTC, that is a problem that phil MAY be forced to deal with (at some level)

do you think that there is a chance that we may have gotten phil the president who was as good as phil the player but no way near phil the coach?

Chandler gave a perfectly acceptable answer. It's all opinion. Question was simply what did people see as the timeline that Melo doesn't fit in, since a couple folks seemed to see that.

I was implying by bringing up the division, conference and league that perhaps there are bigger things at play like the success of our competitors, cap changes, etc. Was an honest inquiry. Don't understand your dig... especially since you yourself are comfortable predicting the career goals of people you only fantasize about ;)

what would be awesome (but unrealistic) is if Phil could do some Jedi mind tricks on Durant, put down his 11 coach rings, two player rings, get the various assistants to do the same...

Then you have Durant nestled in age-wise between Melo, and KP. A nice pipeline of talent. One can only dream...

Crush this is an awesome assessment! I agree 100% Though I do hope he has a chance to commune with Vogel. Having said that, I'm on board with whatever he decides

Mreinman, the "doc" reference was to DrAphaeus who asked my opinion about timeline.

...to be followed the next year by Westbrook. Dreaming about such things beats the he'll out of trying to bloodfart out scenarios where melo actually has a Maybe Trade Clause...
