It's time to get with the times Melo needs to be the four. Our best line up hands down is

KP
Melo
LT
AA
Jose

1 centers don't want to come out on KP and if they do he can move right by them

2 Melo needs to be the downlow monster he can be he's a mis match nightmare for opposing 4's and he's big so defensively he holds his own prob better then them he can guard 3's

3 LT is our best defensive player who can guard 1-4

4 KP is 7'3

I'd say this is probably going to happen but fish isn't that bright

this would work if we were willing to play small ball. Not if we stay old school.

I liked the dallas line up with Felton, DWill and Matthews on the court together. Not sure what that would look like for the Knicks. Calderon, Galloway, Afflalo, Melo, KP?

It seems like that's how the NBA is evolving... KP is strong I'm not worried about him getting bullied he's a tough kid he is our future center and I think the future is now

I know Lopez more so he just doesn't seem to fit ... I like some of the things Lopez brings but again he just seems to not fit

We cannot be running our offense through Lopez. But we can through KP!

You forget that Rolo provides cover for KP in the rebounding game. Yes he is slow, but with a dynamic penetrating point guard that can shoot also get into the lane for easy dump offs to Rolo makes the job easier. Grant in time could be that guy but his inexperience is showing a lot.

How about a Rolo for kemba walker trade ... He seems to be loosing minutes to Lin

KP
Melo
LT
AA
Kemba

Charlotte can give the rains to Lin and Rolo gives them a shot blocker they don't have.. Plus the Jackson Jordan connection

Jordan owes Jackson lol

You have to have Lance in your lineup dude. He is our best defender thus far

Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

KP can destroy opposing centers as Melo can destroy opposing pf's

Rolo has been very disappointing. Unfortunately my prediction of Rolo being a really expensive Dalembert has come true. I really wished I would have been proven wrong. We are now seeing why Portland did not have him on the floor down the stretch.

that would be interesting but as long as melo does not break small ball (which he usually does) and that everyone becomes willing passers. Small ball needs a billion passes. AA and Melo don't usually like passing especially quick passing.

If phil can get them to play real small ball I think that is a dangerous lineup.

Also, no lazy azz boxing out like tonight. They need mad desire every minute like Dray.

Small ball is great if you are willing to do what it takes.

Lets also remember that the knicks won 54 games playing super freak small ball.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

small ball is not really about height. That lineup would get crushed on the boards if we play a big lineup and did not burn them with small ball play.

I love the idea! Kemba would wake up our team and penetrate which we don't have. Lopez adds nothing to our team. No offense and little defense. But I hate Melo's game too!
