Phil is in NYC and not with Jeannie Buss.
Might he have met someone new? Or her? Who knows. Melo is here, wants to be here, and has not given up. This team does not look like it flew off the rails. Looks like a team that can't close. Knicks are 12th in salary. Portland really has to get better value for its money!!! |

That would be 3rd or 4th in conference. But the NY Knicks fans are in rebuild mode. The scene when KP was picked sums up what we are dealing with. But ofcourse no one on here was one of those crying babies. 'Knicks focus should be on players that have grown up playing soccer or cricket' - Triplethreat 8/28/2020

My thinking was that they struggle with Triangle and related issues building chemistry then perhaps finish the season with quantifiable progress. There is/was something with Rose, and perhaps in the coaching process. Is it Phil insisting the triangle get implemented that frustrated free agents to be? Once a positive momentum is breached, is it that much harder to regain it? I don't know. Defense has also been suspect. Most just think its Rambis. Rambis was deputy dog on some of PHil's championship teams so its not like "he can't coach" at this level, he can. BTW, I see Noah as lacking when the knicks go Iso. When the ball is moving, I see a team doing well and Noah is a part of it, and he eats rebounds. I know his metrics are not good, but is the cure "Trading him" really going to fix this? Besides, we can't keep signing guys then trade them, especially after half a season. Rose was a great opportunity, and it was off season move. |
