Phil should probably look into a trade for bargs...
Im done on waiting for shumpert, this is not the place for him...

Jerry'd Bayless--- (better than Felton)
Luke Ridnour--- great passer, faster than prigs
Kris Humphries--- Good big body (goodbye kmart)
Jimmer fredette?--- spread the floor,they should really give him a look
Aaron Brooks---the guy can ball, just needs a chance
Rodney Stuckey-- Has really come on for the end of the season, still young
Vince Carter --- veteran presence?
Steve Blake-- will probably be goig back to LAL, but with Phil here, would be great in NY, can shoot, pass, smart player
Danny Granger-- Sell him the idea of the big light in NY
Pau Gasol--- Can still play, yr after yr rumor of being traded, finally leaves on his own, and comes to phil
Xavier Henry-- Exciting to watch, hustle, high flyer
Jeff Adrien-- young player, great fundamentals (look up his stats, quiet producer)
Ramon Sessions--- Love everything about his game
Patty Mills--- probably wont leave SA, but this guy is fun to watch
Kyle lowry-- Proabably too expensive, but would be good to have him

Granger is a poor man's Melo who I think is done in the league with health problems. He was injury prone in school and thats why he was drafted so low. I think he had a good run and gets some vet min invites, but his body is shot.

Its pretty slim pickings.. Knicks need to stop trying to just aquire talent and hoping it gells and start looking at pieces that will work together. Hoping this is what Phil brings....

Fuggedabout Free Agents.

Stock the roster with dreck and prepare a strategy for 2015, when the checkbook is open.

Open tryouts.

Best 11 get a uni.

This coming season is going to be a playoff goal season. It doesn't make any sense to just bring in garbage. Phil is gonna want to show the team and any future FA's that he has the winning touch as a front office man. Next year is gonna be a Proof of Concept year so getting some decent players in the mix even for just next year has a purpose.

Vince Carter - we had that in Kmart - lets stop bringing in guys that are so past their prime it isn't funny.

Jimmer would have been perfect- but I think since we passed on him with Phil in the wings, evidently already having a say on moves- then unlikely we sign him.


Scary is that if Melo leaves, we're still capped out!

If this were a computer game, maybe we would just fast forward a season.

nixluva - making the playoffs is not the objective for any quality season. Everybody makes the playoffs. Are you so invested in being like the Atlanta Hawks that you miss the only reason Uncle Phil is here - is to win a championship. Period.

Phil is thinking legacy.

Fulfilling his ideal legacy in Manhattan will require three years. Making the playoffs is no legacy. That is mediocrity. To that end, the 2014-15 season is for kicks and giggles only. That, and to clear the decks of all salary restrictions. Everybody can take a hike.

Next season's roster is nothing more than a short-term rental.

The objective is to win a championship ring trimmed in orange and blue diamonds.
