I know for a fact its going to take…………………TIME

I think that trading all of your youth for a superstar is a “win now” move. What, you’re then going to wait until all the players you traded away are superstars too before you start winning?!

The FO lost the luxury of time 11 1/2 months ago. Before the Gallinari trade the fans were willing to commit to the pains of having a young roster grow.

But when you trade away your youth, your cap space, and your trade assets, don’t then come to us and ask for time.

This is NY, remember… We refuse to rebuild.

No offense but f’ that I’m tired of hearing that they need time BS. I’ve been hearing that excuse since Isaih’s days.Last years start at least showed improvement throughout the 3-8 beginning specifically with the PnR.This team has showed no signs of being any better or more simpatico with each other over the course of the season to date and its already nearly 1/3 over.

this.

I’m sick and tired of waiting for the next piece, it’s like watching the Mets from the last 5 years again and again…

we’re waiting for Lebron, then waiting for Carmelo, waiting for Baron Davis, next year we’ll wait for Steve Nash… it’s sickening.

we pay TWO max contracts and a 3rd pretty big one, that alone should warrant AT LEAST a winning season and a decent playoff spot, but our 2 stars always depend on something else…

I’d love to see an example of another team that pays 2 max contracts and is so amazingly bad to watch.

Anybody notice that David Lee’s stats have declined, including FT%? Trevor Ariza has never been the same since he left LA either.

The free throw drop is quite odd. Otherwise, he’s having a decent enough year. That Golden State offense, though, is such dogshit. They’re practically more dysfunctional on offense than the Knicks!

ruruland: Deron has been amazing in NJ, even with much worse teammates then Melo has had in NY this year. Same with Westbrook, consistently outclasses in Melo in every advanced metric.

You’re right, tier 3, if that.

Yep, Mello, Stat, and Chandler are 2nd tier players, all of them overpaid, esp. the first two. The Magic are now in disarray. Offer them Stat and Chandler for the Superman; involve a couple of other teams, if necessary. Howard, Melo, a decent point guard (Baron even without big expectations), plus a couple of other pieces in the trade, THAT may be a contender team. The Zen master will definitely be willing to “close the circle” in case MD does not turn things around.

Ooops, I think I fell asleep on the laptop again.

Owen: Watching the Nuggets. I love the way they play ball. So much fun to watch real team basketball. I don’t think Amare or Melo are tier two stars. Tier 3 if that. Tier two is guys like Westbrook, Deron, Gasol, etc…..And I don’t think Amare has been better in his career than Bboozer, maybe his peak but overall Boozer has been pretty solid….

Deron has been amazing in NJ, even with much worse teammates then Melo has had in NY this year. Same with Westbrook, consistently outclasses in Melo in every advanced metric.
