Who are we filling the roster with? Lance Thomas, Langston Galloway & a bunch of undrafted players?

Hornacek says he plans on a rotation that will always have one or two of the top 3 on the floor. Thus the bench won't be a platoon style. I fully agree with this approach. A quality 9-10 man rotation should be possible this way.

Boozer 17pt
Deng 17pt
Noah 11pt
Rose 25pt
Bogan 4pt

They won 62 games that year.

The Knicks have:

KP. 14pt (last year)
Melo. 21pt
Noah. 4pt
Rose. 16pt
Courtney 9pt

I'm thinking Noah's points should double. The rest of the guys should all duplicate last year's point totals. Points aren't everything. Just using that as the starting point to compare.

Im not sure if this post is a serious. Noah's pts to double??? Joakim, Deng and Boozer were all in prime, Rose was pre injury MVP. Bogans started but played like 10 mins. They had Brewer, Gibson, Korver, Thomas, Asik and others coming off bench

My bad about questioning Noah doubling avg? Thought it was based on 2011 avg not his paltry 4 a game of 15'. Could see him getting close to doing that. All numbers cited seem doable though think Rose doubling assist totals would be more helpful in acheiving

Not sure if this response is serious... You don't think Noah would get 8 pts per game since he will be starting again?

Where is Ronnie Brewer today? Kurt Thomas? Bogans? All retired but were bottom role players. Asik? Korver? Gibson? All had their time but all are either buried on the bench or available in FA.

We can't find a Asik? We can't find a Brewer? We can't find a Kurt Thomas? We can sign Bogan right now.... we could sign Korver right now.

We're probably going to resign Lance Thomas. We might resign Galloway. We already have Justin Holiday. We eventually will sign a nice backup pg, especially if we move O'Quinn. Hermangomez is coming this year. Ron Baker is here. We will get some vet minimum guys.

Rose doesn't have to be mvp Rose... Melo doesn't have to be super chucker Melo. We have KP developing. Why chose to be a negative Nancy. We can win.... don't jump on the wagon when we do.

I had to edit my response after seeing this lol.... I was going to roast you

Let this NYK team get to 42 wins first before thinking about 62 lest 52. The only sure blip up imo is a healthy Rose over Calderon and a year older KP. The rest remains to be seen. Get Westbrook and my optimism and win count rises

Thing is I never said the Knicks were going to win 62 games.

Anyway don't be afraid of success bro. Sky is the limit

This team should be able to get up to the high 40's or low 50's in wins. Hornacek got to 48 in the west with his PHX team. This should be a little better team than that one.
