Sounds good but the way teams spread you out that many big man won't help..they won't be on the court at same time. |

But getting this much back was a win in my opinion.nyk4ever wrote:For anyone who thinks the knicks lost this trade, guess again. im not sure what anyone expected us to get for melo.. we got a very good YOUNG big man in kanter who averaged 14/7 in 21mpg last year, that is serious per minute production, he will pair very nicely with wily. we also got a player in McDermott who has a lot of untapped potential, he fits the new NBA very well and I think just needs some playing time to figure things out.

I remember Horny saying that the team needed to add toughness in the offseason. Kanter definitely brings that. It should open up our outside game considerably. Just 24 years old, his advanced stats are incredible!

Melo's age, ability, contract, trade kicker and NTC made getting be ideal rebuild return virtually impossible. They got him out of town as painlessly as possible given the obstacles. |

We’ve just freed up $28mm in cap space and I’m fine with it. Brand and Hoodie are history! They got 5 centers, it's the most lopsided roster in the NBA, and I told I dont give 2 shts about melo. If your not putting your team in a position to compete and win, WTF is the purpose. The coach wants to run and play fast, and we trade for a center, and complete liabilty on d So now you have Beasly and Mcdermott, and your talking defense. Lame ass FO that caved in once again with another lame ass trade, just like rose, calderon, shumpert, jr. Always getting back trash ES

Just 24 years old, his advanced stats are incredible! He doesn't pass, and his defense is horrible. He is very efficient at scoring and rebounding though. This is why OKC reduced him to a 20min man off the bench to maximize his skill set. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

There's plenty of blame to throw around on both sides. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.
