I really think it's not about the guys coming back to all have major roles. Only Melo, Shved and Galloway are in my top 6 rotation. All these other guys are at the end of the rotation if any of them are brought back. Bargs likely at 7. Some of the kids are going to be still developing. Phil only needs to draft well and sign 2-3 key Free Agents in order to have a respectable top 6 rotation players. Role players look a lot better when you have at least 6 NBA caliber players in your rotation.

Nah, Bargs can get his 1 rebounding ass outta here, don't want to see him near this team unless all else failed and its for the bare minumum and he is the 15th man on this roster.
Have to wonder who gets traded around draft time. I have missed most of the game but what I saw of Ledo wasn't that great. Has he had some good moments?

Good moments is about all I would expect from the kid at this point. He's making progress from day one so there's that. He needs a lot more development and let's remember that he's only 22.
Galloway is never at the ft line. he attempts 80% of his shots in midrange. Not good.

Still a rookie. He's made great progress in year one. Hopefully he can expand his game with more work. Not sure he's all that comfortable attacking the basket Not to mention the shot blocking he's facing in the NBA and this game in particular. Gotta work on how to score among the trees and draw fouls.
Chris Paul guarding Ledo is a real learning lesson. Paul stripped him on what would normally be a good move.
Ledo gets revenge and tips a Paul pass leading to a nice 3 by Early who is looking very confident in this game.

Not saying he can't improve; in fact, I bet next season that will change. I'm just highlighting something that he seriously needs to work on if he wants to become a more efficient guard. For instance, maybe when getting the handoff from the big man in the triangle, he goes all the way to the basket instead of those silly midrangers.
Ledo rejected again by Jordan. Ledo is able to get by his man but that darned Jordan is alway lurking. That would be solved if we had a big who he had to worry about defending inside. Hope we draft or sign some good bigs to make teams pay for leaving them.

THIS^^^^^^^^
Bargnani is playing for his basketball life and showing anyone looking
that he is a worthless POS not worthy of a roster spot. Stop the bleeding and move on.
Early again showing hustle and aggressiveness. This is good to see. I can't remember him looking so confident.
Ledo won't make a 2nd ten day trial.
He's total garbage.

He's just not that good. Period. Sorry guys, not a hater by any means--no reason to be--LG seems like a real good young man and of course, I'm pulling for him. Just not that good a player -- too small for SG, not a PG at all, gives up his dribble so quick like the ball's on fire, no quickness at all, very little going to the basket...You wanna tell me there's a spot for him on next year's team for depth purposes, OK, but to be honest, if he's a main cog in the backcourt rotation next year, I'll be shocked.

Galloway with another one of this midrange jumpers you love

I want him to be good but he is really struggling. Tim Frazier would be a nice pick up if they want to fill the void left by Schved and Jose.
the only positive thing about the knicks is no one has died on the court.
This is a disaster. We're so bad, they going to lose games next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah he's looked better as the game has gone on. This is not a kid who is a finished product. I think he is fine for this stage of things. He's actually getting a bit more comfortable from what i've seen of him. Can't give up on a kid with such a short look. He is a bit of a project and needs more physical conditioning as well. He's only 22.

Bruh, Chris Paul has more asissts than our leading scorer, he has more assists than we have total.
