Guy is talented. Always liked him. Only real weakness is his inability to stay fully engaged the whole game. But like the signing and think he will be good for us.

The difference between Melo and Beasley is opportunity.... Beasley also isn't an Alpha personality. Melo is going to get his decisively. Beasley will get his at his own pace. I believe experience has made him more aware of that problem.

To compare, Beasley is the forward version of Jimmer Fredette. Jimmer can average 20pts in the NBA, but he's not going to look at a teammate once. Shots are going up. like i said i believe Beasley figured the team game out. Let's hope at least

“If Tim Hardaway Jr., Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis and myself — those are four guys that can score 25 points per game. Then you add in Lance Thomas, Kyle O’Quinn and Joakim Noah, let’s not forget about that All-Star,” Beasley said. “Whatever happened last year is what happened. But I’m here now and I’m going to do everything I can to get everyone on the same page even if that page is beating me up every day in practice. Whatever I have to do to get us to come together on the floor is what I’m going to do. Do I see us better than a 30-win team in Vegas? Listen, I don’t even go to Vegas. So yeah I do. I think we’ve got a position to be not only a playoff team but a five-, six-seed team if we do it right.”

The guy seems very motivated. Hoping the Knicks found a sleeper.

I'm heartened by Beasley's TS of 58.4%! He could be a legit 6th man.

He also mentioned if given the minutes he still feels he could be an all star. And Rose thought we would be a super team last year. Seeing is believing but yea man, I do share in ANY optimism that can plough through the noise of Briggs trying to explain that its not him being racist, its the blacks that fault being bad people. We need optimism.

Ah fishmike--If you want to lie go ahead--give me a break. Im not going to get into back and forth

CrushAlot.. I 100% agree we need a sleeper and Beaz sure as hell has the talent. This happens regularly.. A takes some time but it clicks. Billups was traded 3x and I think played for 4 teams in his first 4 years. Maybe with the FO finally doing some right things they will get a little luck as well. Maybe having Timmy and Beas here is enough to rejuvinate Melo as well. Melo likes KP and vice versa. The ONLY way DADMelo returns is if he's got confidence in the guys around him and suddenly Melo has a couple of his boys in THjr and Beas as well KP. Maybe that gets him having fun again. I am not a Melo hater and the BEST situation is he bounces back, is an impact player and passes the torch after a couple trips to the playoffs, even if they are only round one.

Fingers crossed man. Really looking forward to seeing how things shake out, and even if its not all good we still have the development of the younger guys.

We've got KP, Willy and Kuz coming of an exciting Eurobasket. As you mentioned THJ and Beaz are capable scorers. The offense should open up considerably. I even think the quality at guard is more solid top to bottom. Heck a strong start could be inspiring for everyone including Melo. It's going to be interesting to watch.

mitigated by the fact that he isn't asked to be a starter or a PG. Just do what he does best, score

Ah fishmike--If you want to lie go ahead--give me a break. Im not going to get into back and forth

Its stupid even to debate this. The majority Of white people--Asians Europeans are scared of the inner cities--period. No discussion --everyone knows it. You want to BS--thats fine. I never said white people are scared of black people--that is Knickstime taking my words and changing them again. I said inner city AA. White people are NOT safe in the inner city projects--no way--no how. Its just truth and it really needs no discussion. How to fix this issue--it will take a LONG period of time but it has to come from all parties.

Lie.

Got it.

AA for the most part have great hatred towards whites? and on the other hand white people along with Asian and European are fearful of AA. So we need to do something about that--we need change. Again you just have a self righteous view. You are seeing one side. If AA feels slighted form racism today--can you explain how that is today? How exactly did racism effect your life? A white guy do something to you? A Chinese guy do something bad to you? Dont tell me about 19060 tell me about 2017. I see AA President and every other position. A great deal of fairness exist. People from 1960 must laugh at people today talking about racism--they experienced it--you dont.
