How do you know who else Phil might get to come if he did add Rondo or are the Knicks prevented from adding more than one good player? It all depends on AA and DWILL Opt out and stretching Jose. They could have enough money to get 2 good players.

This team needs more than just good players. Wasn't this group supposed to be "good player"?

This roster was NEVER expected to be THE ANSWER. Better than last year, YES, but we always knew it would take more than one summer of 2nd n 3rd tier free agents to build this team. I expected more but not a contender from this group, so it was always expected that more would be done this summer. I mean just look at the contracts Phil handed out and you can tell he wasn't finished.

Plus this is not an instant title situation. Not when you have a kid like KP in development! It seems like you aren't really clued in on what's actually going on with this team. Building a team is a process most of the time unless you do a Superfriends like Miami or a KG n Allen.

Yeah you don't overpay a 30+ year old pg who has lost a lot of games as part of the process. To me I'd see if we could get much younger than older. I want to trade melo he's devisive he's aging and we need to build with kp fir a decade not 1 year.

I can clearly see the magic rondo has been able to spin in Sacramento this year with a better supporting cast than what we have now also he'll be another guy who signs for 90 mm who has had a bad knee injury and is old for the nba

Still doesn't answer my question about who else Phil might add in addition to Rondo. I'm not saying this is the best move, just pointing out that there are other players Phil could add as well. If he adds another good player in addition to Rondo that could have a very good impact. I doubt the team would end up with a losing record with 2 NBA quality starters in the backcourt.

Whatever it is it will not be enough and then you are paying multiple 30 yo multi millions to lose. We need to see what a melo package would bring in.

I think Phil's calculation is to have quality vets in the mix as you continue to develop the kids behind them. It's not a bad idea. It could help to accelerate the growth process. Very few totally young teams are in contention. Having vets is a good thing for young players when it's done right.

With KP, Melo, Rolo, Rondo and say maybe Eric Gordon.... that team like alot like a Melo playoff team from his Denver days.... it looks similar to that Boston team Rondo led with PP, KG and Jesus.... it could work but we would need Thibbs to have a clear connection with Rondo. I think that's key. You get Rondo then you have to bring in Thibbs
