no i am going to plant the seeds for the knicks in your head right now:

jimmy butler would be ideal on this team-- he is among my favorite players. second choice draft winslow. third choice develop shved. so the order is acquire free agent, develop draft choice, develop from within.

towns would be a perfect draft choice. second choice draft kaminsky and stein by trading down from 2nd slot instead of drafting okafor. you get potentially two rotation players for one. kaminsky could start in the triangle and stein could be a terror off the bench.

butler/shved/winslow
kaminsky/smith/melo
cleanthony early/atetoukumpo/melo
towns/aldrich
galloway/shved/free agent (quasi point guard/defender like bradley or beverly)

these are some possibilities. this is how jackson should approach the summer agenda.

I'm a little confused. You have Melo behind two guys who might not even be nBA players and a bunch of high draft picks all on our team. Also The Bulls said they will match any offer for Butler so its not happening.

i wasn't ranking by position i was showing variables at each position from which a gm in the offseason will create a truth tree "on the move," or as events dictate. he doesn't have the kind of game that syncs with others so it makes more sense to create a cohesive unit as a starting five and then bring melo off the bench to abuse benches in the middle of quarters and then perhaps at the end of close games. the iso game is better suited to the bench in the modern game, especially when a system is being instituted. and with the salary cap being raised it could be a true blessing.

you were right once again. truly productive dialogue.

this is what i hope for with the knicks over the next two seasons. create youth, depth, and high motor/bbiq rotation. preserve latter-career melo by having him come off the bench and abusing opposing benches. let him disrupt opposing benches instead of his own starting lineup. it's a win-win for both melo and the knicks.

I see this, but not within the period of his current contract. No way gonna be happen NOW. However, Melo be the 6th man on this team is highly possible and will happen in the next vet min contract Knicks sign with him, assuming he is being offered a contract by the Knicks and he continues wanting to play here.

Melo's role will become a spot-up 3-point shooter. Catch and shoot at the corner and playing off the ball.

i did have the good fortune of having some high end bourgogne this afternoon. what'd you have? let me guess... hennessey, ciroc coconut, moet nectar imperial?

You sound like you have some experience with drinking and back door racist comments.

i have become familiar with both alcohol and racism, either through choice or necessity. how about you?

Only with internet thugs who use the internet to say what they would never say in person. Also with Internet thugs that use my UK name to place me in an ethnic group, without meeting me in person.

who came into the thread with an insult and an attempt to derail the thread? the answer is an internet thug, someone who would never accuse another man of being an alcoholic to his face.

see what i did there, champ?
