Knicks · Could Igoudala and Melo co-exist? (page 1)

Igoudala is a skilled player and would be great from SG with his ability to finish and distribute.

Melo, Igoudala, and Lin could be very potent.

Assuming Lin is back Lin looked at his best when he was penetrating and able to go 1 on 1 with his defender.

If Lin and Melo can hit shots it would open things up for Igoudala who is a good passer and finisher. Basically Lin could SG on offense while Igoudala absorbs PG duties.

The available SG's in our price range is looking horrific and I have zero confidence in Amare actually producing next year.

Ned aka "thefantasytrade buster"...lol

Not on the same payroll.

AWESOME. another shooting guard that can't shoot. Might as well keep Louzy Fields if we want to see someone shoot bricks.

Can't shoot? Iggy shot the ball extremely well from 3-point this season and has always been a very good mid-range shooter/scorer.

The one I came here to post was Joe Johnson for Amar'e. new Atlanta GM is looking to shake things up...

Pretty much. I realize Igoudala is not the ideal SG. However we aren't getting Joe Johnson or Kevin Martin for Amare.

Amare is going to be a cap killer. At least Igoudala can defend, handle the ball, pass, and finish around the rim.

on't really care about the position. Iggy's game meshes perfectly with Melo's

if this is a legit possibility, hopefully it happens now

Waiter, I'll have what he's having.

Thanks man

Philly is going nowhere. They got eliminated by Boston and Iggy scored a whopping 13 ppg.

Obviously Iggy is highly overpaid but so is Amare.

Plus Philly has Evans who appears to be a poor mans Brandon Roy at worse.
