“Well, we liked those guys we had to waive,” Hornacek said Saturday. “It’s a tough thing to do. All these guys are capable players. We have to look at our roster and see the different balance that we have. Chasson, he’s done a great job for us. We hope all these guys get other jobs and other teams pick them up, but our hope is if he doesn’t go to another team he stays with our organization. We really liked what he did for us.“

I dont expect a win toniight but as the season goes on i think knicks match up well with thr cavs...
it is going to be funny to see melo react to how his team plays lebron because noah and rose absolutely hate him, jennings and shumpert hate eaxh other..

Yes. If the Knicks can be competitive, this can be a fun game for sure because of the personalities.

love herring, tells it like it is with no agenda
Our best depth is already at the 4/5. Noah, Porz, KOQ, Willy, Plumlee and then our collection of swing forwards: Melo, Thomas, Cheese, and Ndour. Plus my sense is that there are always more available NBADL bigs who are playable than smalls. We need more depth at the 1-2-3.
Barber
Goodwin
McGary (though I realize he has off court issues)
Ray McCallum
Was bummed Staukas made the Sixers. There were heavy rumors he might be waived and while he's been a turd he would have been a nice buy low.
Yi Jianlin was waived
To all the patient Knicks Fans, its been a long, long time since we've had something to really feel good about! Let's Go Knicks!

Honestly, as someone who is skeptical of our moves and advocated a full tear down... what the fuck is the market for this kind of writing? It's not merely negative. Every word is dripping with assholery. Berman finds a way to infuse an attack into almost every sentence.
How does he have a job? Who is his editor? This is pathetic.
you know what this game reminds me of? when the knicks played the heat right after the melo trade...
same kind of feel
It's beyond parody. Everything the Knicks do is wrong, everything is always horrible, they will never improve, etc.

the funny thing is if melo was traded to chicago, everyone would be saying how the bulls can beat the cavs and are a real threat but because its the knicks no chance...
look at 2012, knicks were said to be to old and were not going to do anything and even with winning 54 games they are still shitted on as a lucky team

I suspect a model would have lots of problems with our team. It's nice for fans to look at our starting 5 and recognize the talent even if they're honest about the very likely permanent fall off in Rose's game. But fans spend less time thinking about the fact that 3 of the starters are 31 or older. Or factoring in missed time (Melo and KP missed 10 games each in "healthy" seasons; Noah has missed 70 games over 2 seasons; and Rose is Rose).
In my opinion the Knicks have the talent to be well into the 40s in wins. Frankly, at full health they have talent to be at 50 wins maybe (depth is still a huge issue). But there is so little chance the injury gods will smile on us. We took big risks on injury prone and 30+ players.
Not that hard if you think that Rose is shot and wont play much, and that Noah isnt an upgrade over Lopez due to some combo of DNPs and Noah's game falling off (obviously Noah pre-injury was better than Lopez).

better this year.

Well, the Knicks had the worst backcourt in basketball last year. A shot Rose + Lee is better than what they had. And Jennings improves the second unit backcourt. Even if Noah doesn't match Lopez because of injury, you can offset that with some expectation that KP will be better.
But yeah, it could all go to shit, I suppose. This is the Knicks.
538 assesses him as going from 2.4 WAR to 5.5 WAR @ 50th percentile, 10 WAR at 90th percentile. It's worth noting that 538 admits that KP breaks their model. They have no idea what he is.
Before the season opener in Cleveland, the Cavs will be presented with their championship rings. What do you anticipate feeling while you're watching that?
Well my approach will be the same. Just knowing what's at stake there--knowing that they're getting their rings. I wish the NBA would let them get their rings the day before, you know what I'm saying? Like I don't know who came up with that rule that you get your rings at the first game.

Bad for the Knicks beat for sure. Good for fivethirtyeight though.
