Knicks had 27 mil in cap space they gave 8 mil to super average affalo and 12-13 a year to sideshow bob lopez
They got 8 mil left and are talking to corey brwer and derrick williams.Is this even a playoff team? lollllllll
The glory days this team had in the 90's.. to becoming a downhill non existent organization in the early and mid 2000's era speaks volume.. This team wasn't going sign anybody significant.. That's the reality.. These move's that we made put us in the right direction..but do I think it's playoff worthy? No.. Gotta clean up the reputation first to a least make this organization an attraction for FA's.. That why I applaud Phil for not letting the NY Media pressuring him into doing something stupid..like James Dolan would do out of desperation, just to get torn to pieces by the Media..
We could of got Greg Monroe.., Phil gave him the max.. instead he wants to win(spending 5 years in Detroit and never sniff the playoff's) and goes to the bucks.. Top 5 in defense that would compliment his skill sets than here, solid core roster and jason kidd as the head coach...Playoff ready... can't blame him..
Plus, with the horror stories, that some of these players hear about this organization past... You can't blame them for not wanting to take the risk..
Now as for these pick up's.. Affalo, Lopez and then later on Corey brewer and Derrick Williams.. Solid pieces.. Give's us Flexibility in terms of the roster, adjustment's and Fits. This organization has almost always prioritized the scorer over the fit, and the name over the scheme. and feels good to see that Phil and them.. are doing something different.. than the opposite..Just find smart, decent shooting players and Big Men defensive mechanic's, with indirect skill sets on offense.. and can do the dirty work around Melo..
