New York Knickerbockers


Recommended Posts

oo nga felton is available, pero i can't comment kasi honestly i haven't seen him play, and nakakailang seasons na siya hindi pa rin siya nakaka gawa ng consistent stir sa mga nba watchers. although the same could be said of chauncey before he went to detroit.

 

the knicks got a lot for lee, labo naman ng warriors na kumagat, eh may caveat yung numbers ni lee kasi he's playing for a bad team.

 

no doubt amare is a great start for the knicks. libre naman mangarap : how about gilbert (arenas ha, not the cavs owner hehehe) tteaming up with amare! hehehe

Gilber Arenas would be like an Isaiah Thomas signing with a long and overpaid contract who didn't sizzle enough last year after a long injury and a bad locker room influence like Marburry..pass

 

Besides, i doubt Walsh would do such a signing. Felton's FG% may not be as good but he was on a slow down offense under Larry Brown in Charlotte that barely utilized his speed and would probably be a perfect fit for D'Antoni's 7SSOL system. He can pass though and slash w/c would be a complement to Amare since Douglas really is not a PG but rather an undersized 2 that could shoot and play solid D. Oh, and they got him for like 7M on a 2 year plus 3rd year team option contract. If he sucks, this year then he'd be expiring the next year and easy to move or they could simply renounce him. Walsh is a genius!

 

All in all, i love the current composition of the Knick with young guys full of potential, talent and athlecism. Love the lopsided trade to GS and the Amare signing. Not only are the guys a perfect fit for D'antoni, they could also play D. Good thing Lebron chose to be Wade's back-up together with Bosh and hopefully they sign scrubs for back-up and not win any championship hehe probably rooting for Orlanda or Boston or Lakers if they face the heat hehe

Was also saddened to hear that Donnie's not gonna be back next season since he basically has to drag New York back from mediocrity to where it is now and where it could be headed with 2 superstars in tow (Amare and Melo), some great finds from the draft (Fields, Douglas), trade (Bill Walker and Ronnie Turiaf) and free agency (Shawne Williams) and some wiggle room and a cap space to further improve its players in the near future. But I doubt it if Zeke would be able to mount a comeback at New York since i've read that his being considered to coach for Detroit. So good luck with that :rolleyes:

^^ That one worked! ;)

 

 

for 1 year. the "boston model" still failed to make the dynasty expected from it.

 

new york should not only have a big 3, but also a bunch of good role players.

 

the miami model would have worked if not for a choker.

^^ Dynasty nga ba expectation?

 

"At this juncture, it’s wise to remember that when the Big Three were put together, it was a universal assumption that there was a three-year window in which to win a title. They got it done in Year 1, and have kept a nice thing going into Year 4."

"When Danny Ainge assembled Boston's new Big Three prior to the 2007-2008 season, he stressed that Garnett, Allen and Pierce held a three-year window. This trio of veterans would have those three years to fight for what had eluded each of them over their respective NBA lifetimes: A championship."

Even diehard fans like Bill Simmons didn't have dynasty in mind:

 

"Now it looks like they can contend in the East. Now the Celtics are on TNT and ESPN for more than two appearances."

I guess that 3 year window is expectation to win by the 3rd year. More margin/allowance for developing chemistry/right mix of additional role players. But when they won on the first year, I guess dynasty was already being thought of especially since they didn't break up the big 3 after 3 years, right?
