Brandon Jennings never showed out on or off the court. The kid loves basketball. He's young yes. Maybe he needed to be in the right situation.

I see names like Bledsoe and Conley. We can't get those guys. We can get Jennings. With the talent we have, adding Jennings and asking him to play basketball might be a good thing. He's better than any guard we have. He's going to need time to price be can come back. It's 2015 and guys come back all the time. Most recently Rondo.

anyway, how do we get better now?

I agree with this. Nothing we'd give up now hurts KP's development, so why not go for it.

I would love to sign Conley next summer, but I don't see it happening. I think he stays in Memphis for the money and because he is happy there and BFF with MGasol.

I just really don't see Phil liking Jennings' game. Do you?

Jennings is the same size as Conley. Conley is quietly having a down season.

If we got Jennings for the year, he would split time with Calderón. Eventually Jennings will get his game back. Hopefully that happens in time for the playoffs if the Knicks can be so lucky. Galloway needs help. Getting Jennings would take some pressure of him. Jerian Grant needs some d league time. He's not ready.

It's a low risk high reward thing. The Knicks are deep so they can play that game if they wanted to.

I want us to get a PG who looks for his shot more, but Jennings might call his own number too much. To answer Eny's question, one fix, which would help us short term without breaking the bank, is Andre Miller.

Some of you are ready to point out that he is prehistoric, and you would be right. But he still can run the point in limited minutes off the bench. Getting veteran PGs on the cheap who can give us a good year or two lets the team stay competitive while freeing up cap space for when Melo's contract comes off the books. I believe Grant could learn from Miller. I am concerned about any long term deal for a player now which would make building a contender more difficult when Melo is near the end of his time in NY.

Im guessing Jennings wont be cheap and will want a long term deal, seems like a risky proposition.

I wish we had Miller instead of Calderón. That's as far as that goes. You don't waste a trade to get Miller.

As far as Jennings you don't worry about whether he wants long term money. The Knicks want short term back court help. The money would take care of itself. Detroit has no leverage knicks aren't going to trade KP for him. Detroit could use any mix of Derrick Williams, Seraphin, Cleananthony, or o'quinn. That's as far as that conversation should go.

A trade is only a waste if its a bad one. Miller is shooting more than 60 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3. If they stay in that area, those numbers are respectable enough to if not trade for Miller, then sign him on the cheap when he is a UFA next season.

Would rather see how Williams and O'Quinn play over the next month or so before possibly trading them.

Miller was brought in specifically to Minnesota to be a veteran leader for their young guys along with KG and Tayshun Prince. I doubt they are looking to trade him. Minnesota has enough young talent - they're looking to build a culture now.

I think Miller gonna be like 50 next year.

As long as Miller can produce and its a short deal, I don't care how old he is. Got to see Gordy Howe play for the Whalers vs the Rangers at MSG when he was in his early 50s, and Howe could still contribute. Ageist!

The stats are irrelevant cuz the dude barely plays. He has 45 years of nba experience to go over though. He doesn't shoot threes historically. And that's all I have to say about my high school classmate. Dude is old

15 minutes a game isnt irrelevant. He is playing better off the bench than anyone we have right now, (unfortunately) and can probably be had cheap. Some school spirit you have there, wow.
