Something’s Gotta Change

by Myles A. Mills on May 14th, 2010 at 12:12 pm

I’ve been open with my thoughts on the Lebron situation; I’ve thought he was coming unless one thing occurred: The Cavs winning a championship. Obviously, that didn’t happen, so I think he’s leaving.

And not to Chicago.

Frankly, I think that Chris Broussard is a good reporter, but his proclamation that Chicago has the best chance to land Lebron is homerism at its best. For a couple reasons. Mainly, this guy named Michael Jordan played there, and he won like six championships. Some people think he’s the best to ever play the game. Lebron going there would be problematic on two levels from that standpoint. First, anything less than six championships would put him farther under the shadow of Jordan. If he wins two in New York he’s revived a downtrodden franchise and brought euphoria to New York. Plus, Chicago’s a great city and all, but it’s not New York. But that’s a different story. Second, the Lebron haters would call him a Lebron-wannabe, an imposer who wants to, but will never, achieve the accolades of his idol.

From a basketball standpoint, and believe me Lebron thinks about these things, Rose and Lebron don’t fit. As explosive as it sounds, they’re not complimentary basketball players. Both need the ball in their hands and both can’t shoot the three. Obviously, Lebron would have the ball in his hands a lot more than Rose, which would effectively take away from a lot of Rose’s effectiveness. And while we’re at it, it’s really the same thing with John Wall if he goes to Jersey. First of all, Lebron’s not going to base his decision off of a rookie who’s never played a game in the NBA. Things happen, ever heard of Blake Griffin? And Wall can’t shoot either, he’s probably worse at it than Rose. I’m obviously not going to argue that a team with Rose and Lebron wouldn’t win 50 games a year, but as far as a championship goes, I’m not sure.

I think that if the Cavs were able to bring in a coach Lebron wanted, and possibly trade for Amar’e Stoudemire, they would be the favorites to retain Lebron. But I don’t think they’ll be able to do both of those, and I think that the Knicks are in the lead right now. The key is our flexibility. It’s not about what’s on the team currently, it’s about what the Knicks are able to do with the money they have. And that’s over the next couple of years, not just this Summer.

My question is, though, is the Cavs supporting cast good enough? The Jamison trade didn’t work out, Mo Williams proved he couldn’t sustain good play throughout the playoffs, or 48 minutes, or guard anything, and Shaq is aging quicker than Robin Williams in Jack. Is this the closest this core can get to a ring? Is it time for Lebron to move on?

Now, I’m not as sure as some others that the Knicks supporting cast is as good or better than the Cavs. There are a lot of holes on this team, mainly the 1 and 5, but if the Knicks could draft, maybe, Solomon Alabi or trade for Emeka Okafor, and after signing Lebron trade Eddy Curry‘s contract for Baron Davis or Monta Ellis, they would instantly be a contender in the East.

Kevin Garnett had some wise words for Lebron. He basically gave a series of intimations, innuendos, and euphemisms that Lebron should get his ass out of Cleveland. He talked about how if he could go back, he would have tried to get out of Minnesota a lot quicker. During their interaction after the game last night, Garnett told Lebron, “I’ve been there.” Well, he had to leave to win a championship. And keep in mind, this was after the Wolves repeatedly tried to bring in a strong supporting cast for Garnett but failed. Cassell, Sprewell, Szczerbiak. It didn’t work, and he had to leave a city that loved him to pursue a championship. And the Celtics won 24 games the year before KG came. They made moves.

“Loyalty is something that hurts you at times, because you can’t get youth back,” said Garnett.

Yep.

    Come on Myles you think trading for Emeka or drafting Solomon would be a good move thats terrible. First, isnt Solomon a project player at best. This team couldn’t wait for Hill to develope and we are going to wait for Solomon. Second, bringing in Emeka would be terrible for so many reasons. The first is his contract is horrible 5 years at almost 11 mill per the amount of years is horrible and the money for his skill set. Also, his PER is not even in the top 20 centers in the league while also being not very atheletic and not that tall at like 6 ’9. He is strong so he is big body and has great character but the above things outwiegh anything positive Emeka brings that would be a poor deal there is reason he has been traded. If the Knicks want to be serious about getting our center for the future they should look at two guys for trades. Jason Thompson from Sacremento or JaVale McGee from Washington. Both are very young atheletic big men mean 6″11 and taller block shots and run the floor. I would trade Chandler for Jason Thompson or JaVale McGee straight up if possible their contracts are all similar even though JaVale’s is pretty much identical to Chandler’s.

  • Big Blue St3

    The only way we go after Ellis is if Lebron stays and we get Bosh, and even that if were not getting Bierdrins or Randolph back not sure if he’s worth the cap space.

  • Lebris Jamosh aka ridiculous upside

    +1000 Myles.

    Rose can’t shoot well enough to play off the ball. Rose/Lebron is not a great fit unless Stern lets the Bulls play with 2 balls on offense.

  • JaymanJD

    Also you talk about ball hogging Chandler is also a example of that there is reason Gallo became a better player when Chandler got hurt. Chandler has to be a the key to getting any young big man back in New York or a sign and trade using Lee but that seems a little more difficult.

  • LebronSignAfterTheX

    I think the fact that Lebron needs a “team” to help him make this decision shows that it is not just about what team give him the best chance to win, it is about what place makes his business grow best, New York we have a winner.

  • jho

    I loved the KG advice. Hopefully Lebron is listening.

  • BASEline LANEdrive

    Interesting point. I wouldn’t sleep on Emeka tho.. I understand his contract isn’t appealing, but we NEED a shot blocker. Emeka is like a career 1.8 blks per game. I’d honestly rather try and find a cheap Chris Anderson type who is in the game ONLY to block shots.. but we don’t have ALOT of options. Emeka is a double double with 2 blocks. 11 milly is alot to pay for that but on the open market you’re honestly not gonna get that production for much cheaper.

  • BASEline LANEdrive

    did you just call wilson chandler a ballhog?

  • jingo

    Three points:

    First, in his first year Lebron really only has to get the Knicks into the playoffs to have met expectations. It flows up quickly from there, but Lebron would enjoy a long honeymoon period with the Knicks and without the looming shadow of MJ.

    Second, Gallinari, Douglas and (to a lesser extent) Chandler would be excellent complimentary pieces for Lebron. As would Bosh. (I think McGrady would be an ideal point guard for Lebron but I think that ship has sailed.) Get some bigs who can accumulate fouls. Some vet bench presence. All easily doable.

    Third, its NYC, baby. The front row would be loaded every single night with celebrities. Richard Lewis and Matthew Modine won’t even be able to get tickets.

  • donnie_brasco

    correction tommy jordan is the best to ever play the game (no argument) and secondly we have more to offer lebron then any other team, take the lakers for example they have arguably the best 8 man rotation in the league, 8 guys count em guys 8 guys they use to get to where they are, i think we should take a chapter out of the phil jackson zen book and create that core starting 5 and another solid 3 guys that can easily come in and not change the game for the worse to give the top guys some rest, we can do it with TD/tony parker/paul/collison (if it so happens to be any one of the 2 of those pg’s the second best would come off the bench), chandler, gallo, lebron, (walker could easily sub for any of them) and whoever we have at center with baron coming in as a solid backup, we need at least two solid centers because look at cleveland (even though they lost) they have sideshow bob (verajo) shaq, and illgauskus, L.A. they have bynum, mbenga, and gasol, Orlando has gortat and howard, Boston has perkins and KG and at times big baby, i might have forgotten a few but you get the jist, all solid backups that can come in and make a difference and not change the game for the worse, we also have curry’s contract that we can use to get more assets to this team to make us even better, overall whatever team lebron goes to will not be a title contending team the first year or so because they need to build with solid pieces around him, case in point chicago having to trade deng and whomever else but then they need to find a solid replacement, NJ has a good young core but not proven yet, etc something to think about

  • PipeDreamin

    yeah for real… Do you watch Knick games? Chandler a ballhog? The guy is the most passive guy on the court, maybe to a fault. He shoots a high percentage, and [in the 2nd half of the season] based his offensive game on mid-range jumpers and taking it to the basket. two places where he excells.

    ball hog. lmao.

  • YO SON

    dnt even bother fam…………………hahaha…….

  • JaymanJD

    Im saying there is a lot better options at center than Emeka. These young players are already better prospects than Emeka just look at their numbers especially Thompson. JaVale in limited time last year at 16 minutes per averaged 1.7 blocks. Id rather traded for the taller, younger, more atheletic shot blocker.

  • http://www.reeltalkblog.com Shakespeare

    THOSE ARE MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY!!!!, u been reading my posts myles???lol…

    but i still think the biggest draw is d’antoni as much as everyone here hates him….we’re the only team out of all those mentioned THAT ACTUALLY HAVE A COACH IN PLACE!!!-and all the coaches mentioned have done less and worse than d’antoni has in the league….he’s the most established of them all, especially calipari who was horrrrrrrible in nj….

  • http://www.reeltalkblog.com Shakespeare

    and as far as trades that Donnie should look into:

    1. i think it should be david lee for tony parker(i’d like to hold onto td, but he might need to get thrown in that trade as well, maybe we can get tiago splitter in return)

    2. if we can’t get that done, sign and trade duhon to his hometown of NO and david lee for cp3….everyone keeps screaming collison, but he hasn’t proven anymore than TD has….and the hornets i think will still be in cost cutting mode

    3. soo if we add cp3 or parker we’re set at the pg position, now to the center position, i think we should trade heavy curry to the bobcats for Tyson Chandler, LB loved curry in New York, and loved him against Dwight….

    soo that can potentially be:
    Tony Parker or CP3
    Wilson Chandler
    Lebron
    Bosh
    Tyson Chandler

    bench:
    Barron
    Gallo
    Walker
    S-rod(i think he can be a good backup in this system)
    1-2draft picks
    (Tiago Splitter)

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    60% he stays in cleveland
    then u can add whateva percentage to other teams.

    someside news
    1 mike is down
    mike woodson won’t be back as the hawks head coach
    an i think mike brown should be next then the knicks should follow by mid next season an fire danni boy..

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    that line can’t happen unless will or gallo is traded when donnie tries to trade for parker or cp3 they will ask for either

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    chandler is more inconsistent than a ball hog cuz he lacks confidence an b-ball i.q

  • JaymanJD

    Yeah wilson chandler is te most effecient scorer in the league why did I think a PER under 14 wasn’t great wow. He is a ball hog because his game relies on him dominating the ball he is not an effecient player. He does not play of of others well. Chandler is overrated which is why we should trade him hopefully GM’s have drunk the cool aid as well and would give up top talent for him. I believe they would because people seem to think he far better than he truly is. What I really mean by ball hog is that he does not really make his teammates better when he is on the floor as proven by the fact that Gallo was a much better player without him around.

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    “2. if we can’t get that done, sign and trade duhon to his hometown of NO and david lee for cp3….everyone keeps screaming collison, but he hasn’t proven anymore than TD has…”

    WOAH

    lol @ Duhon and Lee for the best pg in the NBA, no offense, but come on man.

    And Collison has proven 10x more than TD has.

  • Jack D

    Are we re-signing Earl Barron? I hope we can keep him for cheap.

  • http://www.youtube.com/tharealest62qb DaGawD_KnowLedge

    lmao
    u guys looking at every reason for crab walk not to sign with a team not NAMED KNICKS.lol..
    the knicks got the least to offer team wise..

  • Lebris Jamosh aka ridiculous upside

    Mike Brown fired! (according to Chris Mannix of SI)

  • itzyung1

    Yeah Or Best lineup is a Orlando Magic type lineup with Gallo playing the 4 and An Amazing Shot Blocker as the center. I say Whiteside answers all our issues.

    Toney
    Joe Johnson
    Lebron
    Gallo
    Whiteside

  • grahambo86

    Dont think thats really surprising..lol

  • grahambo86

    Still convinced he’s staying huh? I respect that. After some comments he made, I am not so sure. Not saying NY is where he wants to be but I don’t think its Cleveland anymore.

  • YO SON

    dudes talk so reckless…….and baseless…………

  • Myles A. Mills

    its not tommy its myles and it was understatement. I know Jordans the best.

  • YO SON

    is it his lack of confidence and b-ball i.q or him going 1 against 5……nobody to draw double teams ….nobody to brake down the defense……. nobody to push the ball when he can FLY……… and was pretty consistent after his horrible start……..

  • YO SON

    throw in jerry sloan ferry and paxson y u at it…………..

  • Jeff C

    One of the free agents has to be a big… LeBron and Joe is great, but if we don’t get one of these superstar bigs right now, we might miss the opportunity, and you can’t win without one. If we get LeBron it has to be with either Amare Bosh, or Boozer at the very least (before Joe johnson, that is.) A good rookie big would be nice, but we couldn’t win it all.

    Myles, liked the thing about how the celtics had won 24 games the year before he got theere, and then they won it all. they won 24, got ray allen and garnett (both 30 year olds or higher), and won a ring. So we win 29 games, get LeBron and Bosh (much better combo, obviously), and it seems like it’s not so farfetched to say, hey, we actually have a chance to do this.

  • Jeff C

    By the way, if we didn’t have room for 2 max contracts right now, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. He could never leave and come to a worse team. But one extra superstar in this sport is the difference between good and great.

    We gave up some picks to make it happen, but let’s face it, if we are still in the lottery by then we have failed anyway. If they have faith in their plan, they HAVE to make that move beceause it’s the only way we’re sitting here talking about the very likely possibility that we get lebron.

  • Knicks4life

    “He is a ball hog because his game relies on him dominating the ball he is not an effecient player. He does not play of of others well. ”

    What? I see you do not watch too many Knick games. Your comments in now way reflect Chandler’s actual game.

    Not even close.

  • Knicks4life

    “but Lebron would enjoy a long honeymoon period with the Knicks and without the looming shadow of MJ.”

    Do you live in NY? Long honeymoon period . . .LOL.

  • donnie_brasco

    haha my apologies guy, ok scratch that section

  • gianthinker

    Why isn’t anyone talking about Tyson Thomas? He is perfect for our system and the coaching staff and FO love him. I think we’ll be big players for him myself. Say we sign Lebron and he’s the only max guy we sign. If the Knicks could sign Tyrus Thomas, Brendan Haywood and Luke Ridnour along with him we’d instantly be a contender with Wilson and Galinari making up our top 6 players and having Douglas as our 7. If you add in Baron as our backup center and Walker and Rodriquez also on the bench we’d already have a monster team in the east and thats with one max guy. But Lebron is the key.

    All of that being said, TT is going to be a major target of Walsh’s this off-season IMO.

  • Knicks4life

    Fire Sloan?

  • Knicks4life

    Toney? As the PG?

  • Knicks4life

    If we sign two max FAs (as we all hope) there is absolutely no money for Thomas.

  • gianthinker

    Ridnour-PG
    Gallo-SG
    Lebron-SF
    Thomas-PF
    Haywood-C

    Bench:
    Wilson
    Walker
    Douglas
    Rodriguez
    Barron

  • PipeDreamin

    First off… after his rough November, from December on Wilson Chandler shot over 500% from the field. I don’t care what his PER is. He knows how to pick his spots and score the basketball efficiently.

    Second, don’t back-track off of your original statement. “ball hogging chandler.” Al Harrington was a ball-hog. Z-Bo was a ballhog. With both of those players you know that once the ball is in their hands, they are gonna shoot it. No matter how bad the shot. WILSON CHANDLER scores most of his points around the basket and on mid-range jumpers. The two most effective parts of his game.

    Will was a ball hog because he didn’t make Gallo better? You lost me there buddy. Will is not a point guard. Will is not the coach. It isn’t his job to get Gallo going. That is up to Gallo, the PG, and the coach. Will’s job is to score and play D. Not facilitate.

    Gallo is my favorite Knick. And I think that next season he will probably surpass Will in talent. But I’m not making excuses for him.

  • gianthinker

    If you read what I wrote you’d see I wrote we wouldn’t sign two max guys.

  • fauci933

    I wouldn’t say 10x more, but Collison has proven he is a pure PG who can also generate some offense for himself. I liked Douglas, but I prefer Collison as a pure PG. Oh and yeah, Duhon and Lee for CP3? Without taking anything back? That’s fantasy land.

  • gianthinker

    If signing two max guys is what it takes to get Lebron here then fine but I believe we’re smarter to not do that so he has the strong supporting cast he now knows he needs.

  • YO SON

    “if its good for the gander its good for the goose”…….name me another coach in sports 2day that has been able to stay on a team as long with no rings to show for it……..sometimes theres a need for a new voice to be hurd……and thats being generous…………..

  • YO SON

    HAHAHA……………………………………..

  • PipeDreamin

    .500* not %500

  • Knicks4life

    Very nice piece Miles. I disagree that Rose and LBJ can’t win a championship together though. I think if you surround them with shooters at the 2 and 4 spot they could absolutely win a chip. I don’t know his percentages but LBJ also has really improved as jumpshooter. He isn’t Ray Allen but he has really increased his range to the 3pt line and he is an effective enough 3 pt shooter.

    I keep hearing that Rose dominates the ball. I think that was true this year but that is because he had to. Last year when the Bulls had Ben Gordon (who really dominated the ball) I thought Rose played extremely well with him down the stretch and also did a great job getting him and their teamates the ball. Even at Memphis Rose really spread the ball around but would take over when necessary.

  • PipeDreamin

    haha thank you. can SOMEONE please show ILL WILL some love around here? He was our best all around player last year.

    myles,

    way too much conjecture going on here.

    myles, i got excited by the dream of amare and lebron in nyc!
    my question is if there is any fact to amare feeling inclined to get out of phoenix after all they have done to dangle him 2 years in a row. if he comes to nyc, so will lebron.

    also, where are you in our draft prospects. so far, i like torrance and armon j. as pgs and j. jordan as c.

  • Knicks4life

    Yeah, my point was that I think we have to sign two max guys (as we all hope) which is why no one is talking about Thomas. I wasn’t ignoring the rest of your post, my point was that I think we will/have to sign two max free agents to get LBJ. It is, hopefully, why we made that deadline deal for additional cap space.

  • PipeDreamin

    maybe your handle should be PipeDreamin haha. jk, but i dont think the EC for TC trade is working straight up. And probably not the DLEE for CP3 or TP trade straight up.

    i higggggggggghly disagree 10x more??? how is that…dude was a rookie jus like td was….collison avg’d 12 pts to td’s 9….collison only got the opportunity cause cp3 wnt out for a considerate amount of time, and he was thrown the keys, and was let to do as he wished……last i ckd, he didn’t win many games running the offense…

    and td def did well when he got the opportunities….he was never jus thrown the keys like collison has….his minutes were up and down, not due to production, but due to d’antoni’s rookie lessons….

    i do agree lee and duhon might not be enough, chandler might have to be thrown into the equation, but not if the hornets are jus trying to cut salaries like they’ve been doing the past couple yrs….and i hear the hornets are verrrry intrigued by lee….

  • Knicks4life

    With Gallo’s back issues and lack of speed I can’t see him being a SG. I proposed the idea to Alan Hahn on his blog before Gallo’s rookie year because he was raving about Gallo’s ball handling ability, but after watching Gallo play he is more suited as a 3/4. Plus Gallo and Ridnour, with their lack of speed and athleticsm, may be the worst defensive starting backcourt in history. Even D’Antoni couldn’t stomach that.

    Thomas and Haywood up front would be intriguing if we had a different coach. Neither has a real post up game and neither are shooters. Not really a good fit for the system we run.

    Bench is weak, but our actual 2010-2011 bench is probably not going to be much better.

    Dallas is interesting. I wonder what they are going to do with Haywood/Dampier and Butler/Marion. Can’t keep all those guys.

  • Knicks4life

    Byron Scott did a good job in NJ and everyone wanted to give the credit to Eddie Jordan. He also did a nice job in NO and gets fired while his team is injured. He never gets the respect he deserves.

    That said, Scott seems to have a history of clashing with his players and managment. Everywhere he has been the players have led a coupe. There is something there that would make me as an owner stay away.

  • Knicks4life

    Don’t the Hornets have new ownership now? Why are we still talking about them dumping CP3?

    I think Douglas is going to be a decent sixth man combo gaurd but you can’t really compare him to Collison who is a pure PG. You can’t start Douglas at the PG and expect to have a championship level team. I know he was a rookie but you could just see that he doesn’t have a PGs instincts.

  • YO SON

    kidd is a snake……didn’t knw he had issues with his players in NO …..but with that said you would have to due a thorough investigation on his relationship with his players gm and ownership….with that said I want him here coaching the Knicks regardless……

    it’s sad how some people accomplishments gets understated and others get overvalued and are untouchable whether it‘s being fired or traded ……….I take that back it’s not sad it’s laughable…..because I see what it is……and it’s SUSPECT………..

  • Jeff C

    people who hate to admit anything is going well for NY keep saying clippers or bulls or nets, especially on ESPN. But everyone is blatantly ignoring the most obvious fact:

    LeBron and Bosh/Amare would be by far the best Duo since Kobe Shaq. That is a really big deal, but nobody wants to admit the knicks are the only ones that can pull it off.

    Extras: D’Antoni would put LeBron in a position to do things no other player has ever done, statistically.

    You know how when you watch the suns, even if the other team scores, the suns inbound it so quick and nash takes it to the other end so quick that the camera doesn’t even keep up? Imagine leBron doing that. In New York. With Chris Bosh. I’m sorry but Lebron is a kid who wants to be the shit in every way possible, and that is the shit in every way possible.

  • gianthinker

    Funny you said that because D’Antoni is the first guy to name Ridnour as a target. That doesn’t come from me. He’s in my top 4 PGs available this off-season but he’s not my first choice. However, his name came straight out of D’Antoni’s mouth.

    Personally I think Haywood would be a perfect C for us. And if you have Lebron you dont need a lot of post up ability from your big men, especially in D’Antoni’s system.

  • YO SON

    loyalty can’t bring back your youth.

  • gianthinker

    I want Amare here too but he and D’Antoni dont get along and I think he either stays in Phoenix or goes to Miami.

  • gianthinker

    Knicks4life-Its fine that you and others disagree but I think Thomas and Haywood is much stronger than Bosh. I respect Bosh’s skills but I dont like him one bit. Honestly, if we can get Lebron I dont care who we have to sign to get him here so whatever it takes is fine with me but I hate the idea of signing two guys and being stuck with minimum salary guys for everyone else. I’d rather take the money for a 2nd max guy and sign 2-3 mid level guys.

    ….On a side note, I think Lebron would absolutely love playing with Bill Walker. I can see those two becoming close friends in NY.

  • Skot

    I don’t get all these people saying Chicago offers a great supporting cast to LeBron. How good is that supporting cast which barely made it to the eastern conference play-offs? Now add LeBron to it and suddenly, forget about rising in the east, but they will beat the Lakers too? Come on. The Cavs revealed themselves as not a great team, but even then they summarily dismissed this great cast from Chicago. So, may be with LeBron, they might attain the Cavs stature at best, but nothing more.

    In NY, with LeBron and say, Bosh, I don’t think the Knicks will be much worse than that. They probably will be slightly better than that, but still not a championship winning caliber team. But they could add another player or two the following year and plug the gaps. That could push them over to the top. I think it’s all about having a collection of stars. LeBron and Bosh are two. Gallo could be a star by next year. Add a new player, may be Ray Allen or someone like him and now suddenly you have 3-4 stars on the team and that is what it would take according to recent history. Lakers have 3-4, Celtics have 3-4, the Spurs had 3, the Pistons had a bunch even though lacking a mega star. I think the days of having just 2 stars and winning a championship are over. From that end, the Knicks actually having a clean slate is an advantage over all these other teams.

  • BASEline LANEdrive

    i agree. “Sky” can be pretty exciting… i see him catching alleys and sinking threes (shot 43% in his short stint as a knick).

    I actually look for him to be one of the more improved or breakout players on the team..

  • EQ1217

    One thing this blog, media and the fans seem to overlook is that fact that we haven’t hired Donnie’s successor. Think about it, as well respected as Donnie Walsh is around the league, people still talk about the stench of the Isiah era.

    Donnie has what 2 more years left before he rides in to the sunset, who is his successor? TKB likes to say that we can guarantee Lebron the pieces to build a championship team for years to come, but what if Donnie’s successor is a hack like Layden or Isiah?

    I believe it’s very important that we have someone in place with Donnie before July 1, I would feel a lot more confident if Chris Mullin was the heir apparent to Donnie’s throne.

    The Dolan factor can’t be overlooked, he is capable of screwing things up by hiring a yes man/stooge or god forbid even bringing back Isiah (for some reason I always think this is a possibility.)

  • EQ1217

    OK, Mullin is just an example, maybe a Pritchard or a Wankerstein if they become available.

  • JaymanJD

    @PopeDreamin “I dont care what his PER is.” Absurd. I love when people ignore facts that stare them dead in the face but still want to make their point because they love a guy. You don’t have to be a numbers guy to understand that if you have a PER rating in the 13′s and your a starter in this league your just not an effect player PERIOD. So what he was the knicks most versitle player what does that say about the knicks. You just cant argue that a player is effective with a PER that low. Im sorry you like the dude but he was just not as good as people think he was last year. some players look a lot better than they actually are thats why statistics like PER were created. And oh so you mean Wilson started shooting better after December when the games stopped matter yeah he’s a big time player I think Walker had a couple twenty point games too I guess he should be a starter next year. And even if Chandler started playing better in december he still have more than half the season to bring his PER rating up and he didn’t meaning he did not become an effective scorer. Arguing that chandler is great scorer is like arguing that david lee is great defensive player because he grabs rebounds. I watch the games alright I just dont watch it for all the obvious stuff.

  • DinnerDog

    This is what I do not get. Why is Rose and Noah seen as such an infinitely better basketball situation than what’s available in NY (Bosh, Gallo and whatever a 10 million expiring gets you)? And I’m not even including Chandler or Douglas who clearly aren’t on the same level as Noah. But Bosh or Amare are defiently in the same pantheon as Rose, and in my opion Gallo and Noah have similar potential.

    So while I do think Chicago should be strongly considered, and I would totally understand if he wanted to play there, I jut don’t see how anaylists can say that without a doubt chicago is the better basketball situation.

    Can anyone explain why they think that?

  • bartnyk

    As far as the Bulls go the question is, is Derrik Rose better than Chris Bosh in a league where you need a Top Notch big man to win.

  • HaS

    “last i ckd, he didn’t win many games running the offense…”

    Last I checked he was “running the offense” Douglas was never able to do that.

    “YEA THAT’S EXACLTY WHAT EVERYONE WAS SAYING ABOUT RAJON RONDO, HOW’D THAT WORK OUT?????”

    Having “a great supporting cast” and “will beat the Lakers” is two different things, make up your mind. I don’t think anyone is saying that.

    “In NY, with LeBron and say, Bosh…”

    Again, Chris Bosh is NOT a New York Knickerbocker.

    Why does everyone consider it a foregone conclusion he is signing here? It wasn’t long ago that no one thought he would be interested in coming here and now he’s the one who is going to force LeBron to sign here.

  • YO SON

    I agree Skot I dont see where this chi has so much talent pre-Lebron talk is coming from all of a sudden………

  • PipeDreamin

    you really are a damn fool. and its hard to debate something when one person is twisting your words to benefit their argument.

    first off… I argued that chandler is an efficient scorer. PER factors in other things besides scoring. Chandler shot 50% from the field. he takes it to the basket. good mid-range jumper. i’m not saying it again. PER is not relevant in this argument. put it away. you huge nerd.

    second… i said after DECEMBER he shot over 50%! not after March. Not after February. DECEMBER. Thats a month into the season.

    “And oh so you mean Wilson started shooting better after December when the games stopped matter yeah he’s a big time player”

    ONE MONTH INTO THE SEASON, FOOL. And his game didnt change because the pressure was off. He was rehabbing all off-season! The pressure was ON. They were in the hunt for the playoffs [obviously that wasnt happening].

    And if you wanna accuse Will of playing well when the games don’t matter you should take a look at Gallo. This whole thing started because you said Will hogged the ball away from Gallo and once Will got injured Gallo stepped up… THAT, my friend, was when the pressure was off. Gallo finally put his big boy pants on in March. Will was getting it done while Gallo was rotation between 15 point nights and 8 point nights.

    If you’re gonna come back and pick apart this post, make sure you don’t twist up my words again. I don’t like wasting my time.

    “So while I do think Chicago should be strongly considered, and I would totally understand if he wanted to play there, I jut don’t see how anaylists can say that without a doubt chicago is the better basketball situation.

    Can anyone explain why they think that?”

    Because the Bulls found their way into the playoffs (back to back years btw and proved to be a tough out both times) and somewhat salvaged their season after dealing with a hurt Derrick Rose and other injuries, who still seemed to show improvement by year’s end. Noah looked like he had gotten better, he’s a defensive stud and an underrated passer who can push the ball up the floor at times. Taj Gibson made the All-Rookie team and they have a couple decent players (when healthy) on bad contracts in Deng and Hinrich.

    The Knicks won 29 games (50 losses two seasons in a row) and got progressively worse as the year went on. Basically 3 players under contract, one without a position and the other 2 play HIS position.

    C’mon man, you’re better than that. That isn’t the question.

    If you want to ask a question, is Noah is a better center than Bosh is?

  • Mucha

    Hmmm the 2009-2010 Knicks + 1 max FA would’ve probably made the playoffs. I think it is reasonable to assume that Chris Bosh’s win share is bigger than 10 games.

    I think Danilo Gallinari CAN play with LeBron James because he’s tall enough to be a Rashard Lewis type of 4/skilled enough to be a 3 and LeBron’s strong enough to be a 4 if they want to play small ball/skilled enough to be a 3. Wilson Chandler is useless (trade-bait) If LeBron James signs with the Knicks though, but he’s a huge trade asset.

  • Mucha

    I think it’s a scorers league first and foremost.

    Derrick Rose is better than Chris Bosh. But Chris Bosh is a better fit for LeBron James in my opinion.

  • Mucha

    Chris Bosh is not center. I think the Knicks can play with Gallinari-James-Bosh but they need a defensive center who’s skilled enough to play at least 25 minutes per game. Okafor fits the bill in my opinion. I like Ronny Turiaf too.

  • HaS

    “Hmmm the 2009-2010 Knicks + 1 max FA would’ve probably made the playoffs. I think it is reasonable to assume that Chris Bosh’s win share is bigger than 10 games.”

    I’m not even disputing that.

    My point is that Bosh isn’t here.

    Judging both situations pre-free agency Chicago IS “the better basketball situation.”

  • HaS

    Is Noah better than Turiaf/Okafur?

  • Mucha

    It depends.

    Joakim Noah isn’t strong enough to guard Dwight Howard and he’s obviously not a power forward. The Knicks will have to find an answer. If DW signs Chris Bosh I think Ronny Turiaf and Emeka Okafor could be more valuable than Joakim Noah because they are strong enough to contain Dwight Howard. Just my opinion.

  • Mucha

    Btw I think Noah > Okafor/Turiaf but every contender will have to find a way to contain Dwight Howard and I think Turiaf/Okafor are more valuable than Noah from this persepctive.

  • http://www.reeltalkblog.com Shakespeare

    lol, yea i jus dnt think LB thinks anything about Chandler, but thinks maybe Curry has a better offensive game to go up against Dwight…

    it’s really a wash for them….chandler is/was their 3rd string center, if LB thinks he can do something w/ Curry, it helps us both….

  • Mucha

    No problem I agree with you.

    The other Max FA slot is like a Joker card though. The Bulls have more to offer today, but the Knicks are potentially more attractive – we’ll have enough capspace to OVERPAY for another player. That’s big in my opinion because the Knicks will find a way or another to sign another All-Star (Joe Johnson at least).

  • Mucha

    °a

  • HaS

    Hahaha yea, you’d better clean that one up!

    I was about to say you’re nuts.

    Sometimes you don’t necessarily need to “contain” Dwight Howard. Noah’s activity alone can leave Howard relegated to the bench and in foul trouble.

    I don’t really see Turiaf or Okafur giving Howard fits consistently size-wise imho, but I love Turiaf’s willingness to battle inside and he runs the floor well. Okafur also is a good player who will hustle on defense and block/alter a few shots for you.

    I understand your reluctance to “jump on the bandwagon” and buy confetti but LeBron James is better today than Paul Pierce, Ray Allen or Kevin Garnett in 2007-2008.

  • Mucha

    I don’t think LeBron James should be the primary ball-handler but he’s the focal point of the offense and he will often have the ball in his hands (I don’t support Mike Brown’s 1-on-5 strategy but superstars will have the ball in their hands). I don’t think having a pure point guard is mandatory, Toney Douglas will be fine if he takes care of the basketball. If. The Knicks should make a trade for Darren Collison or Ricky Rubio though.

  • Mucha

    There were some serious locker-room issues. I knew something was going to surface – if this rumor isn’t true another will be.

    Haha hey I LOVE Joakim Noah but he struggled against a 38 year old Shaquille O’Neal at times. If he’s the 3rd best player on your team I think you’re going to struggle against Dwight Howard.

    yea gallo can play the 4 he bang with the best of them he’s shown 2 be durable and none injury prone he’s tuff enough …. we can compare him 2 lewis from Orlando who was averaging over 20+ a season in seattle and got a max money deal whether he deserved it or not…..y not…yea gallo can play that role…I mean how many players came to the Knicks and got over payed anyway he fits the bill…..we should sign him 2 the max right now…y wait let’s juice him up like lewis 2 and say he didnt know what he was taking…that will work………yea he has the skill set to play the 3 we’ve seen his amazing crossover and handle ability… Crawford has nothing on him….GOTTA LUV IT…………

  • x-man

    I also disagree with yles about Rose dominating the ball and wouldn’t be a good fit with LBJ. ALL good pt guards dominate the ball somewhat and that is their job.

    LBJ would luv to have a pt guard like a rose take the pressure off him having to handle the ball, create for others and be the star that everyone stands around watching.

    A guard like Rose would make it nearly impossible to defend LBJ since he can now move around without the ball and cause havoc for opposing teams while Rose can initiate or create for others and take over a game when LBJ is off or being defended well.

    I wish we had someone on this team that did that and we would be in a better position to attract a LBJ.

    Avery Johnson stated it perfectly on ESPN today in that LBJ has to get it rigth this time if he is to leave for another team. Unlike the MJ, Birds, Magic and Kobe of the NBA, LBJ would be leaving his initial team making him sort of a failure for not getting a ring. If he goes somewhere else and they don’t win a ring soon, his legacy will be tainted and he surely won’t be on par with the mentioned above. I agree wholeheartly with that and that’s why our Knicks can forget about it!

    “I also disagree with yles about Rose dominating the ball and wouldn’t be a good fit with LBJ. ALL good pt guards dominate the ball somewhat and that is their job.”

    D. Williams and Steve Nash don’t dominate the ball because their in a offense that’s based on ball movement.

    “LBJ would luv to have a pt guard like a rose take the pressure off him having to handle the ball, create for others and be the star that everyone stands around watching. ”

    I wouldn’t go that far…nobody knows what LBJ would love. Only time will tell but I def respect your opinion.

    “A guard like Rose would make it nearly impossible to defend LBJ since he can now move around without the ball and cause havoc for opposing teams while Rose can initiate or create for others and take over a game when LBJ is off or being defended well.”

    All that said, they still wouldn’t beat Orlando. If he came to NY we wouldn’t beat Orlando either….so where does that leave us and Chicago?

  • x-man

    hahahaah Nash and D Williams don’t dominate the ball? Say What?

    DVJ, please leave b-ball to those who have a little understanding of the game. lol

    Nash and D Williams are the pt guards who initiate and have the ball in their hands much of the time. However, these pt guards are not selfish and will move the ball around or find players since they are playmakers too.

    You are confusing a good pt guard stated to dominating the ball to a player like RalpheAL who really DOMINATES THE BALL AND DO NOT PASS!

    Fori instance take Mo Williams, he was so scared the last few games that he was happy to give up the ball and run out of the way…..sort of like what Marbury used to do in the clutch in NY at times.

    Also, the Magic will not get past the Celtics. It should be a fun series since Garnett and Nelson were not 100% last year.

    They are not two different things. The whole idea is about winning the championship and a great supporting cast is supposed to enable James to achieve that. In order to win, at least for the next 2-3 years, any team will have to go through the Lakers. As simple as that. You tell me, the current Chicago roster, with the addition of James would be able to beat the Lakers? Especially if you consider that both James and Rose are not very good 3 point shooters and need to be able to drive to the basket to be effective, going up against the Laker’s bigs. Forget the Lakers, I don’t think that team would be able to get past the Magic.

They don’t have it yet, but the Knicks have the ability (because of cap space) of being just as attractive basketball wise as Chicago is. In my opinion.

Where in my post did I even mention “March.” In fact you make my point exactly because had almost all year to bring his effectiveness up from the 13′s and still couldn’t. Sorry for me taking you to be a person who wanted to delve a little deeper into a players ability besides whether they can hit a mid range shot. Who gives a crap whether he can score you got be well rounded and that exactly whats wrong with knicks players they do like one or two thing good and the rest shitty. And what are we in high school talking about nerds well your an airhead happy did we get the stupid child crap out there haahaha please grow up fast. Also, you twisted my words talking about Gallo I never made the point that Gallo good player should be given browny points in games that didn’t matter. I simply made the point that their was a connection with chandler not playing and Gallo playing better. Those are two seperate issues.
