Plus if I'm being 100, this hire opens the door for Phil to come back as POBO once Jeanie cleans house. Maybe that's next year and maybe that's in 3 years, but as ungrateful as that organization has been having him there, maybe everything sets up for next summer.

No.

By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostI'm just saying, Knicks wouldn't swap RoLo for Dwight at the moment. But yea that's a light offerbe stupid not to swap D12 for Rolo ... why wouldn't they?

By blackace Go To Postbe stupid not to swap D12 for Rolo … why wouldn't they?
Because Dwights low post game is even worse than RoLo's. He spends a good 20-30 games injured a year now, and the Knicks have the best rim protection in the league, low IQ pouting ass Dwight isn't a good swap and RoLo can hit free throws and set screens without acting bitchmade

Don't buy that. Offensively RoLo has more range, better free throws, and as good of a low post game if not better. He's also willing to set screens and box out to let other guys get rebounds. He's also cheaper, more durable, and not nearly as much of a jackass in the locker room.
By DY_nasty Go To Postliterally crossing the frankman threshold
i've never seen anyone come back from that
Dwight is such trash though. Such trash.

We got the head of the best player development staff of the last decade bro
Yeah, I like Luke and all but him winning a bunch of games with a healthy Dubs roster tells us almost nothing.

By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostMelo/Porzingis/DMC is the best FC in the league right?LeBron/Love/Howard
Dwight is a clown whos gonna make much more than 12 mil per. I'll take Rolo even though Dwight is "better".
RoLo isn't a bad contract and the Knicks have a strong front court. The only reason to change that is for somebody younger than RoLo with more potential for the future.
Also right now if you assume Wroten and Grant will hold the PG spot down (hopefully) the Knicks need a starting SG who can legit shoot and better quality depth at wing just to have a stable roster.

who knows what D12 going to cost next year
but RoLo boxes out so other people can rebound while D12 actually rebounds... D12's post game isnt pretty but it's better than RoLo...
D12 could easily be a 18/12 player next year

By masud Go To PostI do not assume Wroten and Grant will hold the PG spot down…
That is a valid opinion, but with so many superior PGs in the 2017 FA (and a lack of PG's who aren't going to get overpaid in 2016 FA) I could see Phil rolling with those two in the hopes of spending money on a better 2 guard(s). kind of like how he built the Front Court up and patched everything else last year. I mean i said this since last FA this year is a mostly shitty FA once you get past Durant and maybe Horford. Especially at PG.....
The fact that one of Fournier, Bazemore, Crabbe, and E.Turner. Would be a damn good haul for Phil tells you where the Knicks are in regards to this shitty FA too.

I don't see him taking less than 18 a year.... Probably more,
Also Phil has enough connections left in LA to know Dwight is bitchmade.
I don't see being anymore bitchmade than half of the man children in the league... but it's whatever... rather see him in Cha
RoLo a 1st and a 2nd for DMC 😂😂😂
For a guy who is top 3 at his position...hmrrmmm let me offer you a role player....a top 10 pick....and I'll sweeten it up with the 30 something pick too.
If I were Vlade I'd send goons to rough you up for making that offer.
This is a team that gave up 2 role player, a 1st round pick and 2 second rounders for Andrea Bargnani....😂😂😂😂😂I'm fuckin dying b
Yea, he's a giant question mark that could easily turn out to be a bad coach. I don't get why the media is dapping Mitch and Jim over this hire. I obviously want Luke to be great and I got nostalgia for him being around. If he can be Neo-Pat Riley I'll be stoked but the odds of that being the case aren't low, they're essentially unknown.

Dwight's reputation is that he is bitchmade though. Like how much confusion has followed him that last few years? Also does Cha handle child support like Texas, cause if not I think he's going to Dallas.

The Los Angeles Lakers moved quickly on hiring Luke Walton as head coach after their interview with him on Thursday in Oakland.why the rush?
The Lakers had plans to interview Ettore Messina at some point next week between Games 2 and 3 of the San Antonio Spurs' series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but they canceled following Walton's interview.
Walton and Messina quickly emerged as the top candidates for the Lakers' job after they fired Byron Scott.
By P S Y C H Go To Postwhy the rush?
lol didnt even do their basic due diligence and went for the nostalgia grab
Cousins issue is on-court mental toughness.
The trash Knicks roster and draft picks is not going to be of any value when trading for Cousins.

NY trading assets are limited: 2017 first, 2019 1st & Zingis. They shouldn't trade Kristaps cause he could still be much better than his pretty good rookie year. And if he does develop you damn sure don't want to give up any firsts who could potentially round out your young roster.
So yea, i don't think NY is in the business of trading for premiere players just yet, they got to target youngish starting quality players.

Knicks have all their future first rounders after this season.
And they can't trade the 2017 pick.
I also think he might move O'quinn for cap space and a future second.
He might be able to straight up purchase a 1st round pick this year due to it being a weak draft.

3SP was talking about how knicks fans deserve their misery bc they're always trying to rush shit and never wait for a proper rebuild, but this dude suggests the knicks give up one of the few valuable assets they have to get DMC.

Like I like first rounders and RoLo too (a lot) but if the Kings said yes to the rape deal 3SP made up you got to jump on it.
Cousins and KP is a big man duo that could be contenders for a long time if built around correctly. Also keeping Melo now with them would make them a tough team to beat now as long as the back court wasn't complete trash like it was this year.
Now the odds of that happening prior to 2018 when DMC becomes a UFA is zilch

Despite the Knicks being crap RoLo's playing his best basketball maybe ever and people are talking about trading the one player on the Knicks who improved. (Not taking into account rooks obvs.)
My sides.

That's right NY would at least have to keep the pick til they select next year. So itd have to be a 18 1st and with some light maneuvering Zingis+DMC could be a top 10 team in the east. Making that pick even more garbo. Damn near guaranteeing it'd be 3 role players for arguably the best Center in the league lol

Trade away the one dude flourishing in the Triangle.
I remember when the Knicks traded for another troubled big man, former Jail Blazer Zach Randolph.
Worked so well before so why not go for Round 2

That Bargnani trade has nothing to do with this regime.
Kings could say no, but Phil wouldn't offer anything more than what I suggested anyway if you look at his trade history. He's parted with zero picks so far.
DMC would be a monster in the triangle. That offense tailor fits his skill set like a glove
Trading a guy and a 1st for a much much better player at that guy's position isn't abandoning the rebuild. This team isn't intending to tank for 3 years, they want to rebuild through trades and FA. The key is to get guys that fit the system, and DMC does that. So you're not abandoning anything.

By masud Go To PostZeus you don't like Conley?
I like Conley, but a little too old & too injury prone for my taste. Also I'm not a fan in general of paying PG's a max who aren't top 5 (let alone All Star) PG's at the time.
