Amazing how quickly the MELO n KP Era has developed! I've never seen anything like it. MELO n KP have bonded and are developing chemistry so fast! KP is not of this world.

Afflalo is doing his best Kobe and MJ impression, he has that post play down to a science I just loved how he stepped up last night when melo and KP went down

+1, 7'3, handle, 3 point range, defense, no visible softness, smart, grounded kid. Completely unreal talent.

Hope Melo comes back intelligently from this ankle injury. Loved that dunk he had on Crowder last night.

4 point range

Making the playoffs in a very competitive East is achievable with ths group and would be a step in the right direction and provide the visual that entices talent to come here

could not disagree more. Grant was a fantastic CBB player and rookie PGs require patience. AA/DWill/Lance can all opt out yes... why would they? If they are worth a big pay raise I expect Phil to do what is best for the team. DWill and Lance are turning their career's around here. What is the motivation to immediately bolt? Melo/KP/Grant/Rolo/KOQ is a nice core signed for the next 3 years. At the halfway point "trending upwards" is a nice way to put it. Do we have any problems that arent nice problems to have? No pick but good chance Willy comes next year as well... the pipeline should continue to grow as well.

agreed, no reason for anyone to want to leave if were on the rise

$$$, Thomas and Affalo will likely get more by opting out and Jax may not be willing to sign at higher numbers especially if it involves years

Really, afflalo didn't sign here for money, he signed here because of melo, and wants to be part of the turn around, lance is not even avg 10 points, how many teams will be lined up for that.

Under .500 again..

the knicks are 3-14 when sasha plays
