Answer:
All five of those players are playing playoff basketball at a high level and earlier this year they were on the NY Knicks and were dumped by our team Prez Phil Jackson!
Yup, salary dumps, silly trades...those five had to be gotten rid of to keep and make room for Bargnani, Pete Sampras, Greg Monroe, and some 19 year old draft pick kid from college.
Look at these five names again:
Amar'e
Tyson Chandler
JR Smith
Shump
Pablo
You mean to tell me we couldn't have a playoff team with those guys plus Melo!?!
Ever think that instead of dumping those guys Phil should have
A) dumped Fisher (how come he couldn't get that group to play and work well together, yet the Celtics make the playoffs with their marginal group of guys?)
or
B) dumped the triangle system that might have been hurting the team's progress instead of dumping players who are helping other teams in the playoffs
Nope, Phil keeps Fish, keeps a system that didn't fit our roster...but gets rid of five of our best players who are now doing well in the NBA playoffs. What a joke.

This thread reminds me of the one you started asking the question why this years team isn't as good as last year's team...
Thats odd, I havent seen JR or Shumpert in the playoffs yet, so how are they playing at a high level? But anyway, we had these guys already, all on the same team, our best season ironically was when all of them were injured. Even JR was injured.

Hmmm, time zones. Everything starts three hours earlier in the east coast where I live.

funny, it reminds me of the same garbage he posts all the time too.
Same old boring thread from the same old disgruntled fan. Yeah, we get it. You're disappointed in our coaching and mgmt. Got anything else to say? BTW, you're idea of "fun" is twisted. Reading your posts is almost never fun.
They have less responsibility on better teams. If the TS can't tell the difference then there is nothing I can say from a basketball standpoint.

What a clueless way to look at things. These teams were already playoff caliber teams before adding our players.

"FireWoodson" and the word clueless are synonyms.
The fact that this is your definition of 'fun' is worrying, but no surprise

We had all those players last year and weren't a playoff team
Also could you post the stats of those players in yesterday and today's games so I can see what playing at a high level in the playoffs looks like? Thanks

well duh! we had WOODSON then LOL
This is even worse than that thread where someone demanded why our guards thrive once traded and then listed a bunch of players who weren't guards and weren't thriving
Sorry, folks, none of you here could respond to my post with any knowledgeable b-ball insight.
None here could tell me why these five guys couldn't do the job here. newyorknewyork did a good job with his post ("they have less responsibility on better teams") but the rest of you took the typical Jim Dolan spin approach: "things will be better next year...Phil knows what he's doing...Fish is a future Hall Of fame coach...Galloway should win MVP of the league this year..." Quit watching Dolan mind-control "Knicks Post Game" and start thinking for yourself.
People, we were f..ked over royally this year! I see OUR PLAYERS doing well in the playoffs right now for other teams! And you here want to make excuses for getting rid of those five players. No wonder the Garden still sells out even with a sh!t team. You fans buy any bullcrap Dolan tells you and any bullcrap Dolan puts on the court for you.
Wake up, b-ball people! Five of our ex-players are suiting up for playoff games while our current players are suiting up for a Garden Of Dreams prom!
LOL

to get a topic flowing with basketball insight, the OP should contain some. you my friend, do not bring any insight to the table with the trash that you post.

Please quote the people who said all of that. Oh that's right, no one did.
Also, since you were unmade to post the stats:
Amar'e: 2-12
Shump: 1-4
JR: 3-9
Prigs: 1-4 0 assists
Only player with a good game was Tyson: 5-8 18rebs, though Dwight dominated that game.
Well done!

You say how can a team with those players plus healthy melo not be competitive, well ask yourself this; Are any of the players you mentioned 2nd options on their current teams? Are they good enough? Besides Chandler, are any even starting caliber players? You are suggesting because they are currently on playoff teams automatically means they are good enough to be 2nd, 3rd, 4th options on a good team. You can't take a collection of role players and just say them plus an all-star should be a good team. There is a common sense factor involved with that.
