Are you under this illusion that Rose is a MVP Rose?
No one is giving you that much for Rose.

If you get a young starter on a decent contract for Rose, that's a good deal. You won't get a young starter as well as a draft pick which could be a lottery pick. Come on. What reality do you live in, Briggs?

He's a back up that cost 14 mm. He has never shot 40% in his career and is a low volume 25% 3 point shooter. He's lost steps on D and doesn't get up and down that great. I don't want Rubio. I'd rather let Rose expire unless they give us their pick. They can make a deal w boston to move that 2018 to 2019. Why does anyone want a career 37% shooter as their starting pg? Just compare steph cirrus efg and Rubio. You guys just want the Knicks to continue to stink

And where were you at 14-10?

ive gone back and forth on Rose but Noah I'm sure was never a good fit with the starters
If we keep Noah he needs to be a backup.

14-10 is nothing to brag about.
Geez we should be aiming for titles and contending not a few games over .500

But were you prophetic about it now working then? at the 4th seed, there was a buzz about the team, and of course the trajectory was the team was still coming together?

I started bringing up Boston as our best trade partner in a Carmelo Antony trade back in 2014. While I admit to posting many wack trade scenarios, they all included Bradley, Crowder and Boston's surplus of picks. Even if the Clips are the catalyst for a Melo trade and we get Bradley, Crowder and a 1st with Melo going to LA....I still claim my mantle as UK resident prophetic Melo trade genius.

Exactly

Phil versus Layden. Should be interesting.

This would be a Isaiah lateral move that addresses 2 problems (ball movement, defense) but goes back to ignoring another 2 problems(penetration, perimeter scoring)

Plus adds salary..Go Phil

Rubio has never played on a winning team, and has never made anyone better, you saw LOVE demand a trade, and TOWNS doesn't really benenfit form rubios passes. he's good on his own

There is no situation that you would find palatable?

Jae Crowder got traded to Boston on december 18th, 2014, or 25 games into the season. So basically any wack trade with Boston in 2014 you had 13 days to work it then.
is there a rule that you can claim that mantle piece if the Clippers are involved? If you have the room on the mantle, go for it!!!

It was pretty obvious to many here that Boston had the assets and the need to get a deal done. There have been many plug and play pieces over the years. Boston is VERY patient. It's hard to believe that there is a universe where the Knicks can get any decent deal when trading with a stable franchise.

The improvement in ball movement will open up the floor and help KP, Willy, Lee, etc. get better looks - so our perimeter scoring will go up. Your anti-Phil agenda is really getting old, are you married to Mike Lupica per chance?

I'm anti losing all the damn Time, some of guys always think players that play bad on other teams will blossom as a knick and that's yet to happen with anyone we acquire, in fact they get worse..Calerone and afflalo quickly come to mind.

Then the fact your adding payroll, at least let it address all or most of the pg issues we have had. This is like trading Tyson(expiring) for Calderon (2 more yrs)who ended up making us far worse.

I'm not anti Phil, if the result were a success, I'm pro Phil..4 straight losing season, am I suppose to have my GO Phil PoM's POM's in full motion.

If you think that trade would makes better, that your opinion..I don't, think it addresses our need..just another flip of the roster

He is not a backup he is definitely a starter
However I agree he has flaws and may not be the answer long term
I like Rubio only in rebuild terms
He will get KP, Willy, Melo and whomever we draft in 2017 lotto, the ball. Good for player development and Horny will have a PG that can run his playbook properly.

exactly... he's a very nice stop gap. Much better than maxing out Holiday while we develop our own guard(s)

Yep, we will struggle to develop our young talent without a PG- we can't sign one in the offseason, so we need Rubio- extends our options in the draft. Can anyone suggest a better PG that we can realistically add for the next 2 seasons?

Welpee wrote:You guys realize Rubio has played in exactly zero playoff games in five years. He has moved from over hyped teenage phenom or overrated bust.

Stop gap is a very good description of Rubio. He's basically Calderon without a jump shot, but with available PGs rapidly jumping off the table (not to mention signing free agents will be more challenging as a result of the Oakley situation/Melo treatment) and the likelihood we'll probably draft PG who will need time to develop, I think he's competent enough to get us by for a year or two.

He's nothing like Calderon- what, because they're both spanish they must be the same?
