Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: These teams have huge cap room and will probably get shut out of some of the other big free agents. Crabbe is gonna get a max offer. Which is insane. One low key great thing about the Rose trade - it allows to somewhat sit out really overpaying to make our big move. Rose is the big move. A lot of other teams are going to severely overpay this summer to make a splash. Knicks have made their splash and can focus on filling in the roster holes wisely. I tend to think that's what they'll do, rather than grossly overpay a hot free agent. ¿ △ ?

Courtney Lee is a top of the key three pt shooter, which is great for getting back on D. It leaves us with no real corner three guys. If you were running a mega death lineup amd had another corner wing, Lee makes a great addition. http://vorped.com/1-nba/2015-2016/player/892/courtney-lee/ Batum, for example, would be PERFECT to balance the floor. This lineup has great floor balance and spacing. And well positioned transition defenders. The issue is that KP is not strong enough to man that C spot all year. And all your money is gone. It lacks a dominant rebounder. If you can choose between Batum and Lee, even at the price, you take Batum for spacing and passing. A Batum + Mozgov or Noah (not moneterily realistic?) offseason is pretty Successful, IMO. But, this is my pre- coffee lineup. I think the number of french players on the SL squad is as much about gathering info on Batum and maybe a french running mate for Batum as it is testing their talent... should we look for Labeyrie and Batum to be roomies with the Knicks this season, no? You know I gonna spin wit it

Would love him but think well probably end up with a Lee/Fournier level dude and y'know what? Rose + Lee is closer to what a starting NBA backcourt should look like vs. the Calderon + Afflalo combo... Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please

Benching Afflalo was bad coaching and a poor understanding of advanced stats. That should be why Rambis is gone. http://vorped.com/1-nba/2015-2016/player/922/arron-afflalo/ Compare Afflalo's shot chart to Lee's. Assume in the side triangle, Rose is coming up the right side of the court. If you try and kick to the corner, who will shoot from there? Unless you want KP in the right corner and Melo in the left. You know I gonna spin wit it

The Afflalo ship has sailed. Maybe just maybe if Rambis wasn't on the staff he would come back but dude was salty last season. 3. Is it weird that Afflalo shot just as many shots where he was pretty terrible as he did where he shot most efficiently? Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please

A player also has to understand and play to his strengths...We weren't really running set plays for AA ALL the time, were we, and from what I know, the Triangle gives players a great deal of freedom. Afflalo seems to have a somewhat elevated opinion of his ability, perhaps he never thought about taking shots that were high % shots for him. EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

The huge difference in Lee and Afflalo is that Lee actually plays defense and whoever is our starting SG next season absolutely needs to be able to play defense playing next to D.Rose. |
