They REALLY need to go into the playoffs with a top seed to avoid facing Miami/Indy/Boston in the first round again. They have to start JR Smith, unless they want to meet Landry's terrible terrible offer sheet. Absolutely, they need to be the 2/3 seed to have any chance of making a dent these playoffs. They are built for "win now" but so are the Heat, Celtics, Nets, and the Bulls / Pacers are both dangerous teams. | ||

NY should have tried to get Lee in this deal as well I think (even though that isn't a head-turner either). Plays D, doesn't hog ball or need a lot of shots, and is decent and improving at the 3pt shot. He is like a perfect complement/opposite to JR Smith lol. | ||

I'm pretty sure you guys got Asik. Massively overpaid, but its tough to see the Bulls matching that for a backup big. | ||

Especially with Lopez at the max (which to my understanding would be worth $14mill?!). Houston could put together a much better package for an Orlando rebuild after they lose Dwight. I mean, fuck, I'd rather let Dwight walk for nothing in FA than get lumped with Lopez at the max. | ||

Camby addresses what they need most, which is not giving up +12 more PPG when Chandler sits. The biggest issue with the team is its synergy between its star players. Elite wing defenders are extremely rare, and a good defensive system/coaching (Mike Woodson) is enough for the Knicks. | ||

Houston could put together a much better package for an Orlando rebuild after they lose Dwight. I mean, fuck, I'd rather let Dwight walk for nothing in FA than get lumped with Lopez at the max. People are seriously scared of the "do nothing" option. It really is a good alternative to mediocrity sometimes. | ||

Not enough high efficiency players to get the best offensive unit running yet. I can't disagree with you more here. Teams like Philly don't have good offenses. Teams that start Melo, Jlin, Amare, JR Smith are not teams that have trouble scoring points. | ||

They're a deeper team no doubt, but the same fundamental flaws still exist in their offense particularly (Kidd will help, but not greatly IMO). I think the Knicks are underrated by many defensively (but with Shump missing much of next year, they prob do need a better wing defender). Agreed... but health was way too great of an issue for the Knicks. The constant revolving door of point guards, Melo's nagging injuries, Amare trying to get back in basketball shape, and even coaching changes is something that hurt the Knicks considerably. | ||

 ETA: I do think health and line up changes screwed them over worse than they were going to get screwed anyway. | ||

I won't disagree with you there, but if Kobe can win titles playing as inefficiently as he does, I'll hold out hope that Melo can be the star player on a championship caliber team as well. | ||
