I don't know, what is another coach going to do?

JR is rusty as hell and recovering from knee surgery
Amar'e is rusty as hell and recovering from knee surgery and is on a minutes restriction
K-Mart is on a minutes restriction
Melo is rusty and spent the summer rehabbing his shoulder instead of playing basketball
Tyson has a broken leg
Tyler has a broken foot
Felton has a bum hamstring and is playing like trash
Shump has been mind f***ed and is playing like trash

That leaves: Bargs, Hardaway Jr, Cole, Murray, MWP, Beno and Chris Smith

Our team defense if beyond pitiful- one pass and it completely breaks down- teams can get an open 3 or a free drive to the basket WHENEVER THEY WANT!

Our team chemistry is non existent (last year it was a strength)- Amar'e is unhappy with his mins, K-Mart is unhappy with his mins, Shump is unhappy with the trade talk, Beno is unhappy as he has no playing time.

Prigs isn't the player he was last year either.

We are what our record says we are- at the moment we are an awful, awful team.

Wasting it trying to decide which of the six scrubs we should sign.

We could, but he chose the money and went to the team we just fought against in the playoffs- don't begrudge him, but his agent did a fantastic job of spinning it so it looked like we made him do it!

Bargs is doing a pretty solid job doing whatever Cope would be doing IMO

We didn't offer him a contract.

Yeah, the contract never came, he was waiting to sign one and wanted to come back. He didn't care about the money.

Yeah, he could have helped us more than Pablo.
We also should have had team options on years 2 and 3 of the contract we offered him anyway.

I dont think the team can offer a three year deal in this cba to undrafted guys, but that second year should have been automatic.

Not really sure why Pablo had to have part of the mle, but then again MWP wanted to be a Knick his whole life and got the other part.

I don't know. Somehow Patrick Beverly had a team option on the 2nd and 3rd years. Maybe it's because Houston was under the cap?

I know the salaries look the same, but we signed Cope with a min salary exception, and two years max on those.

Bonn, what do your stats tell us we need to do to fix this mess?!

Hire a good metrics analyst and give him the power to make all final decisions.
