Knicks · Revise your opening day roster for 2015/16 (2/5/15) (page 1)

Pf: Kevin Seraphin
Sf: Carmelo Anthony
C : LaMarcus Aldridge
pg: D'Angelo Russell
sg: Kevin Martin

I think Seraphin is a sleeper free agent that we need to really pounce on. The Wizards can't resign him cuz they have a ton of money invested in their front court.

I really like the idea of absorbing Kevin Martin and trading THJr. Is a good value deal regardless how old Martin is.

I don't think we're going to win the lottery. Some how we'll see Philly take either Stanley Johnson or Mundiay. Then Towns will go to Minnesota. The Lakers will get Okafor. With Calderon mentoring, D'Angelo Russell is going to win the rookie of the year #boom

And yeah, I just threw Aldridge in there cuz i can't see him signing in Portland long term just to never get better or win anything. He comes here with that line up and we can have a legit shot at winning the east.

Not bad at all. What the Knicks need to do as well is incorporate what Atlanta is doing and dont play anyone more than 30 minutes. That way we stay healthy and fresh--we need a 12 man roster and play 10 deep.

C. Kanter,j smith, cole
Pf. Milsap,Lou,early
Sf. Melo,Lance Thomas,early
Sg. Matthews,Greek,Galloway
Pg. Russell,Galloway,Larkin?

That gives us a very solid defensive team.. And a awesome offensive first unit D Russell is the best player in the draft hands down he makes everyone on the team better. He's a 6'5 Chris Paul with a better shot, offensive game. D Russell is a super star and will make a serious impact in the nba. Matthews as a 4 th option is scary. Kanter is a double double machine waiting to happen .

Our bench is cheap but all the players fit the triangle perfectly( high bball iq bench) with to big energy players in Greek, and Lou! Three shooters in Galloway, j smith, early. The most expensive player on that bench is jason smith who will come cheaply, Lou is the oldest player on the team at 33...

This is slightly more Practical, I would muh rather get Asik rather than Kanter. And I doubt we an get Paul Milsap especially with other teams targetting him too so I think we could benefit from getting Brandon Bass who isgreat defensively.

Ah hush your face and make your own opening day line up

BRIGGS @ 2/5/2015 6:22 PM
I think it's fair to say that we will be significantly better next year. Were going to get a great player from the draft(hopefully we mine another 1-2 players as well) and then we do have around 30mm to spend.

Im personally against signing more than 1 premium 4 yr contract as it's to risky. Im not into Wes Matthews for big 4 year money at all.

What's wrong with Matthews? Not a playmaker but excellent shooter, defender and only 28. Not injury prone like Kevin Martin

I forgot Timmy!!! Yea add him to the bench !

As for milsap signing him is a real possibility, just like we know, players know the Knicks will be really good next year. we have plenty of money to build a contending team next year. And Mathews is a top defensive 2 guard and a great three point shooter .. He's worth the $$

i am perfectly happy if we don't sign anyone major... i have a feeling it will be nuts...

i really do like tobias harris.. but i'm not really too sold on anyone else especially at the price they are likely to get...

That may be the worst defensive starting 5 in the history of the NBA ... seriously!

yea definitely

Phil & Derek preach defense but that lineup will be too much to overcome

pg - galloway
sg - john jenkins - he's young and he'll come cheap... having a 2nd rounder would help fill here...
sf - tobias harris/melo - i love tobias harris and i think it can work with melo
pf - melo/alexis ajinca - another young guy who won't be too expensive..
c - towns - he's #1 on my board..

What's the difference between mine and yours? Green is good but need a big center if you have him at the 4. Other than that the lineups are identical.
