I just don't understand why we haven't bought out Jose yet, the dude got owned by Donald Sloan who by the way has been in and out of the d league... Jose can't even get the ball to the roll man . Jose is a huge reason we get down by double digits . We have a pg who can't get into the paint, needs at least 4 feet to shoot with success, can't find the open man, turns our team into strictly a jump shooting team. He's a chemistry killer because of his lack of ability on both ends of the floor... Jimmer is going to be better for sure if he gets a fair shot.

A decision must be made on Sasha and Jose. Phil has to pick his poison when it comes to those two: either let go of Sasha or Jose. I would prefer to let go of Jose, because Sasha is a pure triangle savant.

Let Jose go to find a team that can use him as a backup

He's better then any guard we have right now it would be a shame if he didn't get pt and just rode the pine ... Again our backcourt is the worst in the league what do we have to loose by playing the kid .

Undersized JR Smith.....When he's hot, it's all good....Everyone screams to have him replace Jose. When he's not, all Jimmer fans go into hidding.....what else can he contribute, when he's currently shooting 2-15?

From what I've seen, which is limited.....his defense might be worst than Jose, just because of his size. He's too small to guard a shooting guard, and it appears that he's too slow latterally to guard PG's. His man has scored on him on every posession in crunch time.

He really needs to work on being a PG....More of an Allen Iverson type.....playing next to a taller PG like MCW.....

But before that, coming off a solid night during the All Star game, he was trash again. Looks like he's very inconsistent. And if that was his only flaw, it wouldn't be a problem. But it's not.

Just like Jose has issues, which are mostly due to age.....Jimmer is in his prime age wise, and he will mostlikely be out played by Jose.......Just on IQ and leadership alone. Jimmer leads by example....But that means he needs to have the same attempts as Melo or KD, in order to see his impact.

I hope I'm wrong and he turns into another Linsanity.....But at the moment, it's hard to see him making a positive impact with limited minutes off the bench.

I also saw issues on both ends.....He was too small to guard a big guard. And he was too slow to drive past the same big guard. Basically there are bigger guards in the NBA, with the same quickness. Thats a major issue to over come. If you are smaller than your defender, usually they tell you to use your quickness against bigger guards. But his quickness is equal to bigger guards, so theres no advantage on offense.

Jimmer works better next to a taller attacking guard like Jerian Grant.....Next to Jose, thats a disaster waiting to happen. But I can see Jerian and Jimmer playing drive a kick plays.....Thats if Jerian gets any PT. What a mess the knicks are in again this year.....
