The east just lost Paul George, Jimmy Butler and Jeff Teague. The Bulls and Pacers will be worse than the Knicks this season.
There is no viable trading partner for Melo and the team doesn't have to run the triangle. They are a 35 win team right now.
Frank is years away and will be solid not franchise changing, so Hill makes the most sense on a 3 year deal. He's a tough two way player that plays the right way. It's the best move we can make. The Pacers don't have a prayer of making the playoffs and the biggest are in a stacked western conference.
Everyone is tradable. The Knicks are the most embarrassing team in sports. So we need to change the narrative and the culture. We need a guy that can help the development of Frank, Baker, Willy, KP and hopefully Dotson.
Give the guy the 3 years at 16.5MM. Move KOQ and open up the 4MM. We need to start adding good players that take pride in professionalism.
