you need more... you neee a system or a stlye of play. You need players with skills that fit into that style of play. You need a GM that will work to get you those players instead of just forcing talet that may not fit on you. We have not seen that since.... seriously, even Riley and Checketts fough. When have the Knicks had any level of synergy there?

You need a good coach to develope a style of play base on your players strong suit..Triangle hasn't worked yet in the NBA without Phil and a couple of the best players on the planet..

I think the only time you do that is if you aquire a player that merits that level of catering too. Like if your lucky enough to draft Ewing you then built a half court team anchored around his high % scoring in the post and his defense.

The triangle isnt nitchy... its simply about spacing. The spacing is so you cant double. The point was you either have to deal with Shaq/Kobe/MJ/Pip one on one, OR you get shooters with open looks if you commit to doubling. Either way your putting guys in a good position.

When has the triangle worked when Jordan, Pippen, Shaq, and Kobe running it?

It worked with Pippen (without Jordan) and it worked with Kobe (without shaq)

If kobe was successful in it (without shaq) then Melo could probably be successful as well. They are extremely similar when it comes to offensive production. And Pippen alone was not all world.

These were still good teams in my opinion, triangle or no triangle...And Pippen's Bulls got knocok off by the Knicks didn't they??....It didn't work when it was just Kobe, no Gasol..

Pippens team if not for Hugh Hollins would probably have won it all - pretty impressive.

And I agree. Kobe without Gasol is just a bad team. No system is going to work when all you have is a super chucker.

who's super chucker? kobe, a first ballot HOF

And a super chucker.
