Frank goes 3-3 against Argentina for 8 pts, 3 dimes, and a steal.

[kiidcarter8]

Hopefully Randle can be a rock and mesh with Mitch Portis.

And Hachimura had THIRTY FIVE last week

Should be a fun World Cup

That'd be great.
But either one of them gonna defend?

I'm hoping Mitch will be out long-term C -- our Gobert, Capela, TyC.

[kiidcarter8]

Be more exciting if Knix had (drafted the) PG situation figured out.

I'd think Camby....

re:  Gobert/Mitch

This is what I had been asking

Are we ready to give him 4-100?

[facilitatorn]

Don’t have to think about it. The question now is to what extent he can kick ass. This year at least to develop him and at least another year to make up our minds.

Behind power forward, point guard is our strongest position.

I expect Elfrid to give us our best look since 1st edition Felton and Smith Jr. to kill second units backing him up. We have deeper depth from Frank and Trier. I like our rookie wings.

Garland won’t be a plus player till his option year at the earliest.

White would have a hard time getting minutes in Westchester.

Keep forgetting - Knicks punked Robinson's agent into 4 years

We got nothing out of this trade. In fact it set us up to be bad for the rest of the decade. 

Now if we had NOT signed Amare it doesn't mean we needed to keep Lee. 

But using the LEE money on Amare set the franchise back for years.

[facilitatorn]

Yes. Indeed it did.

Post Knick Lee had much more to offer than post Knick STAT.

Question is, if you had another crack at it, and weren’t trying to take a crack at anyone else top tier and only looking to lower level guys, how would you spend the money put into STAT?

In the scenario where I’m making offers 25-50% above signings for those players at that point in their careers, after our draft, I’m starting with a 30 yr old Mike Miller and 31 year old Jermaine O’Neal. They both have career average seasons then slide into smaller roles on stacked teams more or less maintaining their efficiency. Interior D & perimeter play would have given us a good support system for the numerous youngsters we’d managed to acquire.

You can feel this way if you like

It was an excellent move at the time - and Amare rocked NY big time that first season, leading Knicks where Lee never took them in his 5 years.

That you mention the 2 in the same breath is actually appalling

[lesterluv]

Lee: least impactful statman ever
Amareball: that was really really fun

(I was vehemently against the gut the team to try and sign LeBron strategy that cost us ZBo's great years among other things, but this Amare/Lee thing is just silly.)
