further proof that if you won't playing like he wants you to, regardless of your talent and skills, you better of playing SOME WHERE ELES.

So if KD, or Curry, or Labron, came in and rebel against the TRIANGLE, he wouldn't think twice of trading them away. He would rather have a guy like baker and Randle, who embrace the triangle (for contract purposes) than a much more talented player who is not for the shanannings triangle.

Melo is about to be 33 years old dude stop crying. If he was 27-28 it would be different... the Knicks are in a different path. Get over it already.

The Knicks didn't have a LEADER to get the most out of the Role Players. We all know the story behind these players when they were here in NY.

At this point the lesson we all should have learned is that we MUST build this thru the draft more than Free Agency! Phil may not have been a big proponent of the draft before but I bet he is now!!! His best options are with adding young talent. No more Quick Fixes.

Melo is not in the playoffs, unfortunately for him, he's still on a knicks team run by a dick, but im so sure if he's traded, he will be in the finals next yr..

Where's Tyson? Quincy? Bargs? Dalembert? Galloway? Ledo? Amare? Prigioni? Shved? Melo?

So you started a thread to show how half the guys Phil traded away are now in the playoffs.. in a league where half the teams go to the playoffs. Genius! You could be POTUS!

I agree with you that this is a non issue but why list a bunch of players cut or not resigned. Only Tyson and Prigs were traded I believe and Prigs was in the playoffs for Houston and LAC before he retired.

What quick fixes are you talking about, phil never sign a bunch of over the hill tired FA, In fact he only sign three 3O yr olds since he's been here, Lee, AA, NOAH, everbody has been in their 20's.

That's why you make no sense half the time, because you act like we had the CLIPPERS Roster. Then you act like we have 3 first rnd picks this yr along with 3 second rnd picks.

so when you talk about building through the draft with just 3 picks,(one 1st rnd, and 2 late 2nd round) you sound down right ridiculous..you going to build your team around 2 rnd picks, cmon NIX make some sense.

But I think it's a fair point to criticize Phil and point to all the players he basically dumped in his quest to build the perfect triangle- that are performing and playing well.

I'm not saying they would have us in the play offs, but I was happy to keep Lopez & Calderon vs. the disaster known as the Rose Trade & Noah Signing- we'd be closer.

And closer if we let Jeff coach vs. Phil & Rambis.
