JR Smith ‏ @TheRealJRSmith
Damn didn't know this man people didn't want me in #NY might just get what you asking for! #sorrykidz

That was a fun game, but people rather went crazy as if they could do that on a regular basis. Come playoffs, Novak and JR were a different story.

Tyson needs to get a short to mid range shot, defenses cheat on him a lot.
Amare needs to get the ball more (12 to 15 shots a game).
Fields and Jeffries do have value.
If J.R. leaves, I won't cry but he has value.
Baron Davis is probably done, no real decision to be made.
I don't see Gadzuric coming back.
Still not sure about Douglas...if they quit trying to make him a point guard, he'd probably be OK (too much pressure).
I'm Ok with Bibby
Shump won't be back until well into the season.
Lin is good,
Novak and Jorts for sure
I have no idea what to make of Jordan.

8-10 assists? Thats cute.

Tyson aint developing a mid range shot

Amare 12-15 shots a game? Maybe but that will coincide with 5 BA'a and 8 turnovers

Trade: separately for picks, or in a package for a legit SG
Fields --the fact he's a starter on any team in the nba is beyond me
TD --his head and heart just isnt there

Resign:
Novak
Lin (convince him to take less for the improvement of the team) plus he got a **** load of endorsements
smith (was over used, if he comes back cheap then ok, if not let him walk)

Free agents:
DJ Agustine (cha) wont be hard to pry him away from a ****ty team
Delonte west (dal) played really wel despite injuries, the guy is a head case, but he got game
Ryan Anderson (orl) played well, orl would most probably resign him
Javale Mcgee (den) Cocky, would love NY, perfect back up for chandler
Andre miller (den) still crafty enough to start, smart enough to run an offense, humble enough to come off the bench
Chris Kaman (NOH) backup center
marco bellinelli (NOH) smart 2Guard, would prefer him over fields anyday
Michael Redd (phx) defensive liability, but would be great off the bench, and would come cheap
Shannon Brown (phx) played like **** in a contract yr, hurt his value, may want a change of scenery
Anthony Randolph (min) maybe a comeback? who am i kidding

I don't like Fields anymore. He is a good kid that plays decent defense and is active, but he is just too tenative on offense and his shot is terrible. Unless he improves dramatically in his aggressiveness and in his shooting ability, we are better off trying to trade him for a 1st round pick.

We need to resign Novak, and then he needs to work on a one-step/two-step pull up jumper. He has got to expand his offense beyond hitting set jumpers.

We need to let Bibby go and go find a young PG who can penetrate and hit an open jumper. Bibby was good in that he did not turn the ball over, but he was too much of a liability in all of aspects of the game.

Jeffries can stay and we should be able to resign him cheap. Keep working on that jumper and finishing around the basket.

We need to trade douglas for a second round pick. We should be able to get that for him.

I pretty much think this is spot on.

JR - gone, too costly for a bench "chucker" who messes up any offense flow. Love his defense, but not his disruptiveness.

Novak - keeper, but I agree he needs a second option for scoring. But letting a 47% 3pt shooter go is crazy. It's on the coach to figure out how to get him more looks. Having a real PG will help his game immensely and get him the rock when h has the3 1" he needs to get off a shot.

Fields - Trade him for best pick we can get. He broke his shot and lost his confidence. He doesn't bring enough value to keep. Rather click "reset" and try to get lucky in the draft. If he fixes his shot, he should regain his confidence and prolong his career. If he comes back with that awkward, flat brick-making shyte again, he won't be around much longer.

Fishlips - Tough call. He is a heck of a defensive asset, but the fumbling, no-layup making offensive liability may be tough to have on the floor in the post-season. He brings something though. Maybe sign for a minimum.

BDiddy & Bibby - Baron is done. No coming back from those injuries at his age. Bibby, might resign for minimum and let him ride the bench. But he should probably just retire.

TD - Go away please...far away. I hope you never wear a Knicks uniform again. I wish you well in your career, but can't see where you'll do well. Maybe as a backup 2 someplace, just not here.

Woody - If Jax says "no", we resign him and hope he puts together an offensive scheme that works. He seemed to have nothing but "get Melo the rock" this year. But seeing as he inherited a team in shambles, he did an amazing job keeping the ship afloat. 18-6 based on defense is a nice start. And we did win one at the Garden. Resign him unless Jax wants in.
