he is young athlete , good teamate and can improve in the future , can be a great piece on a championship team.
right now he is terrible playing with zero confidence
I think he just needs to work realy hard on shooting and he needs to sue whoever worked with him on his shooting form this offseson because he cost him a lot of money!!
I think we should resign for minimum/near minimum contract
Minimum salary player for sure.
I can see him not in the NBA is 2 years.
If we don't retain him I think some team throws him the mid level or somewhere around there. I think he can still improve a lot.

No one is giving him the MLE.
Guy played good for half a season last year.
He is a nice role player, but he has regressed.
I understand having Melo is going to count down on his touches - but his shooting percentage is off and his rebounding is off. And there are plenty of rebounds to grab.
Someone will give him an LLE contract at least.
All these knicks fans running around like they've lost their head. Typical, right? What did you expect? Knicks are in shambles. No way we're going to win Heat with half our team missing.

That's true. But there are holes everywhere.
Dudes overrate everyone the Knicks draft. Truth be told Fields is the same guy he was last year.
Only difference is the offense has slowed down and we run more half court sets. Therefore a player with Fields limited skillset isn't going to look to hot.

In other words, we need ball movement and players to run... wonder why that's not an option anymore.

Melo is the Knicks best shooter, passer, rebounder, and low post scorer. He is the most versatile guy on the team. Regardless of who he played with he has made it to the playoffs.
The Knicks with Chandler are a jump shooting team without jump shooters.
I roll with the versatile guy everytime not the guys who cant do anything without a above average PG running the show.
i like landry when he's playing the 3 or as a bench piece. he is not a 2 guard and he's been burnt trying to play 2 guard in the playoffs.
he's like shandon anderson - good for a little money, but the minute you give him an MLE type deal, he's just dead weight on the cap.
i'd sign landry for a few million.
Who takes his place?
He is the sour favor of the month?

unless dude learns how to shoot, I say dump him. As bad as his shooting is, his passing is even worse. Unless he manages to get inside for a dunk he is useless.
Fields doesnt look good in Melo ball. His strength is cutting and moving the ball, not standing around and watching. We need better defenders.

you can't blame Melo for Fields being such a bad shooter. You CAN'T have a 2guard or small forward on the floor that can't shoot a lick. The guy is overvalued and needs to go!!!

its not blame, its just fit. Fields has an NBA skill set. We saw it here enough. Half court Iso's take away what he does well.
You keep Fields because he has potential and because it Doesn't affect the salary cap.

I rarely agree with Anubis, but this time he is right on. Fields done ruined his shooting and he brings too little else to the table. If he can't fix the arc on his shot and the melt down in his confidence, he will be out of the NBA in two years. I can't believe Spike still wears that custom Fields jersey. Must have cost a bundle.
