Because it was suggested in articles that Melo could ask for a trade if Phil stuck with Rambis, I just had a thought about the team minus Melo. This led me to take a look at what the Knicks did without Melo for the 10 games he missed. They of course lost all those games which was part of the reason for the record, but they had some competitive games in this bunch of Meloless games.
Unfortunately KP missed 3 of these games. Just taking a glance it is clear that the overall lack of production from the Guards and Wings was a huge issue. Not to mention that Lopez struggled early on in the year. Afflalo was often called upon to try and fill the gap in terms of scoring. KP had some good games and I can only imagine how he'd respond to an increased role as he matures.
IMO there would be obvious production missing minus Melo but depending on who Phil would be able to add it might not be as bad as some expect. Replacing Jose and AA in the starting lineup with better defensive guards would help a lot. Having a better defender Replacing Melo would help to mitigate some of the lost scoring. Better use of DWILL if he stays would help. I don't think we got everything we could out of DWILL. Having Jerian, maybe Wroten and a couple of younger guards like a Crabbe, Seth Curry or Bazemore could really have a positive impact on this team Minus Melo.
