Was going to talk about Lopez in the what if we keep Rose thread.
Could even be something which gives Phil the idea that he should keep Rose, which I DON'T want.
If Rose goes, Phil basically traded Lopez and Grant for Holiday (was there a #2 in their somewhere? forgot), and to replace Lopez he brought in the more expensive and much more injured, Noah.
Say what you want about Robin, but he played with intensity, was a good locker room guy, is one of the better players in the league at remembering to box out, is a very good interior defender, and actually showed us a decent offensive game, especially in the paint.
No, he is not the best passer from the 5, but he sets good picks, and always gave you 100% effort.
In my mind he is looking like a pretty good guy to have on the Knicks...a guy who could help protect Willy and KP in the paint, and someone on what appears to be a great contract at this time.
EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?
