This is why I say we need to trade Carmelo and rebuild. I dont see us doing much more than this year--we have way to many question marks I cant even come close to filling out the roster--so exactly how do you win that way with no draft picks and what amounts to the 20 position cash wise in free agency?

His spot ups are 0.78 points per possessions.

I know it's easy to just hate for the sake of hating but the facts and stats show Porzingis has been just as good in post ups (slightly better actually) as he has been in jumpshot/spot ups.

There was also a statistic in an article showing that on the right block KP's points per possession is over 1 on post ups, which is insanely good.

Again hate away, without facts.

hate away? love these posts.

KP should post up and spot up. He should take advantage of any mismatch that he has during that game and take shots from any are that is deemed efficient for him.

The Boston Celtics used to bring in Kevin Mchale for chemistry reasons off the bench and they won championships that way. I DO NOT think KP Lopez and Carmelo is an effective defensive team in transition and it wont get better. A way to get around that is to bring KP off the bench so we can keep 2 of the 3 in there most of the game.

After that--Ive heard no one tell me about roughly 10 roster spots that have no name next to them.

I think Galloway, Lance Thomas, Derrick Williams will be back. I think we sign two mid-tier guards, say Brandon Jennings and Nic Batum if we're feeling dreamy.

PG: Jennings, Grant, Wroten
SG: Batum, Galloway
SF: Melo, Lance, Early
PF: KP, DWill
C: Rolo, Hernangomez, KOQ

I count 13 there.

What I was referring to was the video showing Porzingis making a ridiculous shot from near the entrance. That's good and all, but the statistics(even his raw 3 ball percentage isn't too great) show he's a good shooter but not a great one. People want him to become the next Curry or Dirk, but the raw stats so far show that he isn't that type of shooter. I think the coaches and Phil have understood his strengths much better. They see a guy that can get the 3 ball or outside jumpshot anytime he wants and he should take them. However his game should go way beyond that. Post ups. Cuts. Drives. All good for him as he has an advantage in length and size. If we play him at 4, he has arguably the biggest mismatch on most nights in the paint.

He's going to take some time, but it'll come together for him. Look forward to seeing where his game is in 2 years from today.

i'd also go after horford and fournier.

I think Evans would be a good replacement for DWill.

Horford though? Rather spend $ on wings?

No way we have the cash for that.

We don't re-sign Afflalo and we stretch Calderon, cap estimate is $95M now - that gives us $36M in cap room. $12M Jennings, $15M Batum, $3M Hernangomez, we can go over the cap to sign Lance, DWill and Galloway.
