KP plays like a small forward, so the more he picks apart Melo's brain, the better. He doesn't need Jabbar to learn the sky hook, he's 7 foot three inches, all he has to do is toss the ball at the rim if he's close. Dream shakes? Again, who is he going up and under against?

All this kid has to do is get it in the low block, face up, jab step and shoot over....anybody. The ball has to be at least 8 feet in the air once his arms are up.

What I liked about tonight was that it looked like KP feels like he belongs, he was very active in getting the ball on offense and creating things. He's getting his without being a go to guy. Once Fisher feels comfortable giving him the ball to get his, we'll see how easy it comes (right now he is a little turnover prone if he's blitzed). It'll come.

i dont think he needs to pick apart melos brain. KP is super advanced for his age which is why i am such a big fan of his. I believe he is our best player already and he hasnt even reached his prime yet

He would be stupid not to but all reports indicate that he is asking Melo lots of questions.

yup the nets gave up a lot of future firsts. Basically they are gonna be the isaiah thomas era knicks

They are screwed. Boston's going to have some very very nice picks the next couple years.

yeah not a good time to be a nets fan. Im still pissed we dont have our pick. Granted it probably wont be a lottery pick but still im a big believers in having draft picks every year

Next thing you know they develop a close relationship and then we have to hear about how KP would consider the Rockets in free agency after advise from Hakeem.
I would rather hire someone onto the Knicks staff to work with him then someone from another team.
Better to be safe than sorry...

We've thrown out names like McHale, Abdul Jabbar, and Hakeem because they had great games in the post. Might add Duncan to that list if he was retired.

Don't see KP going anywhere.
