Worked pretty well for JORDAN & Kobe.
I'm guessing one of the reasons there isn't much running is so that they conserve their energy and every movement they make has a purpose
At least thats the idea
Funny
“Funny we’re in the situation we’re in... Tyson in Dallas playing well, me and Shump here playing well. We weren’t the fit they were looking for. Hopefully they find it." - JR.
(Mozgov, Trevor Ariza, David Lee, Zach Randolph, Jamal Crawford, Wilson Chandler, jeremy Lin, Pablo Prigioni...)
The Knicks lead the league in former players on other rosters. Think about that.
The idea

It doesn't have to be Jordan. I think players at the David Robinson and Tim Duncan level would be good enough.

Jr smith and Shumpert both gave up 2 years in a row on us....2 different regimes. They were 2 of our best players we needed to buy in for us to be successful. They went from big keys to our 54 win teams success to cancers. They can go to hell as far as I'm concerned.
You agree that they can go to hell. That's pretty harsh man

I agree that they were cancers and the team needed to move on. Both would have and should have been moved last year but the Knicks didn't have a gm that supported the coach.

Which came first??..I think they knew Woodson was done in December..The two juveniles on the roster then acted out knowing he was a lame duck...Could be both too..

I don't know. I think they knew Woodson was done when Grunwald was let go and then Woodson was forced to keep Chris over a much needed big. Quite a fiasco last year. Glad they are gone.

CrushALot - appreciate your perspective as always. Did JR Smith wield enough influence over Grunwald to force the Knicks to keep his brother on the roster?
Or did Dolan overrule Grunwald on roster decisions, as he did Walsh with Denver negotiations, losing Mozgov in the process?

I think Chris was a package deal with JR. I would like to think that Grunwald would not be comfortable doing something like this and that Dolan was involved but I don't know for sure.

It is a player commenting, but on the other hand that player is JR Smith
Reading what JR wrote and looking at preferred styles around the league, I actually think the biggest problem with running this type of system is the lack of fundamentals around the league. Looking at games around the league you see more bonehead plays than ever. Many players these days are great athletes that just happen to play basketball and don't seem to understand how to play.
Related side note, JR can say whatever he wants but as he has already admitted his biggest problem here was he couldn't show up to a game not hungover or still half in the bag.
