NO YOU DIDN'T.. lol YOU WENT from Jeremy tyler high upside, to "when is he going to get playing time".. I find this to be a trend around here when guys are shipped out.... so now Quincy Acy=good, and tyler= blah!!!

If Phil makes ten total moves this off-season, I guarantee you nixluva will love all ten of them!

lol.. no kidding...

And you two will hate all ten moves or just stay quiet if you secretly like the move but for some bizarre reason don't want to acknowledge it.

gotta love it... dont hear anything from tfk for a week, then he comes in, posts like 5 times in a row with one douche comment after another trashing anyone who think positively and vanishes... great guy.

Acy is like a very poor man's JYD. Lost of energy. I suspect we traded our guys who wont play for their guys who wont play.

I could have cared less about Tyler. Some here were high on him, I was not. Struck me as robotic and predictable. When his 2-3 moves were working he looked great. When they werent he had nothing. He was also the biggest strongest dude in that Chinese league he played in and his numbers were utterly average.

With Bargs and Amare made of glass I could definatly see Acy having a meaningful stretch for the Knicks. I could never picture that from Tyler.

The plan is simple. Get guys who are in shape and give a damn

That's a big part of it.

Tyler has potential, but he's not getting any playing time over the bigs we have now....And instead of wanting him to play with Acy passion, Phil just traded for Acy, while removing Ellingtons contract, who was also buried on the bench, behind a glut of SG's.

Fish this is probably your first post that i actually agree with lol. I like energy guys and Acy is definetly an energy guy. I didnt see the potential some saw in Tyler. All in all this trade didnt help or hurt us which is ok because Phil just wnated to cut the guard position since we have a overflow

that must mean your wrong alot. Good balancing move, and Acy is a guy who will ensure practices are competetive. You want the bottom of the roster to be guys who can actually help in some way. Didnt see that from Tyler, and Ellington was lost in the #s game.

for

tyler, chandler, felton, ellington, a second round pick

that's highway robbery.

Looks like we still want to clear a roster spot.

Watch for a trade of Prigs and Outlaw. Low-key trade, but Phil will get the players he wants.

acy, tyler, ellington may as well be named joe blow. they will have virtually zero impact on any team they play for.

no need to really break down the skills or anything like that. end of bench fodder. nothing to see here.

in related news, phil is now eyeing jamario moon, jason kopono and hedo turkoglu.

This post of twitters I think is key to understanding what happened and what may happen. Phil didn't really want Outlaw (originally going to Utah) and did want Acy; and did want to trade Ellington. Phil, for some reason, wants to trade Prigs.

Watch for a trade of Prigs and Outlaw. Low-key trade, but Phil will get the players he wants.

If they move Prigs, you gotta figure it'll be for another ball-handler. Hard to envision they do it just to get Thanasis on the roster (a yr in the DL or in Europe playing big mins. might be good for Thanasis' development) plus only going with an older Calderon and Larkin at the point feels a bit thin...We'd need 1 more PG for depth, no? Even if we just bought out Prigs at this point and brought in a Seth Curry or Kalin Lucas as a cheap understudy PG--I'd be fine with that. I'd consider that an upgrade.

I wonder if Utah still has interest -- would you guys do Prigioni for Ian Clark straight up? 6'3" PG outta Belmont that can really shoot the ball. Talking about a guy that hit his 3s over a 40% clip all 4 yrs in college, over 45% his senior year. Good PG size, solid ball-handler and he's actually got some nice speed as well. Very crafty/shifty with the ball. Not just a shooter -- looks like he's got a nice off-the-dribble game, he can push the ball and he gives good effort defensively (2013 Ohio Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year/shared co-POY honors in 2013 with Isaiah Canaan). Not a bad passer too from what I can see. Pretty good feel for the PG position. I wonder if we could steal this kid for Prigioni:
