Reggie Evans would be awesome on this team and Novak can drop treys with Deron Williams, it's a win win
Lateral trade. That would be a panicky move. Novak might have a bit of upside too. Don't do that.
No way,I dont want anymore 36 year old guys on this team. I do wish Novak was playing as good as last year but he was exposed in the playoffs a bit and there's been some follow through to this season.
What we need from Novak is for him to step up a notch.
Knicks need another young PF/C type. Terrence Jones I think is going to be really good but is not getting any kind of time in Houston. I would ask Morey if he is interested in trading Terrence Jones for Novak and a 2nd rounder.
Let's trade Novak for Dale Davis
Lets trade Novak for Larry Bird and/or Reggie Miller. Or, even better yet; Patrick Ewing of his prime years.
Great thread.

You're right. Let's not talk about anything that may possible be a weakness or problem moving forward this season. The Knicks are perfect. No one can stop them. Let's only talk about the wins against Miami and San Antonio form now on.
Novak for Derrick favors....
I must be the greatest
wouldn't mind acquiring reddick in a trade with orlando.
Novak isnt the same shooter he was last year lets be honest. he has only had a handful of good games. also teams pay attention to him now and he doesnt have any speed so even mediocre defenders can take him out of the game. Dont get me wrong i was a big Novak guy last year but he cant do anyting else liek rebound or defend so he isnt helping us much
Novak's nickname should be "gravy". When you have players who can drive, keep the defense honest and give him some breathing room he is a very good and effective complimentary piece to this team. As I pointed out in another thread, when we are closer to full strength I think we will see Novak doing the discount double check again because we will have more inside scoring. We only have Melo and JR right now for the most part which isn't enough to let Novak do his thing.
One improvement I've noticed this season is Novak is getting better at shooting with someone in his face. I wouldn't give up on him just yet. If things haven't changed by the end of the season, I'll be on board with you guys who want an upgrade.

NYKMentality lives in a world where the Knick are perfect and have no issues. even though we are like 5-7 in our last 12 games and our defense and ball movement has gone from very good to mediocre
I would trade him in a heart beat if the offense continue not to utilize him. Wood have no schemes for this guy.

Realistically, what is anyone expecting back in a trade for Novak, a 29-year old journeyman who has half a good season to his credit?
I would trade Novack for Jimmer Fredette.
Answer: YEP
its bad but unless Novacs is making impact with jumpers offense off the bench
he's become a complete waste & inconsistent nil confidence. Give Novacs credit his D improved
But all in all he's been sort of a BUST this season with no pressure coming off the bench
Novak is paid much less than the average NBA player and he's basically a 3 point shooting specialist. I'm not surprised or disappointed with his play.

I agree with this. The team signed him to do almost nothing else but shoot 3s. When he checks into the game, there should at least be some focus on getting him open for them.

Yes. Exactly. I like Novak. His struggles aren't really his. Coach needs to find a way to get him shots. Missing Felton is huge.
