I don't have an issue with that. I would go with Grant and Jose to start, use AA to score off the bench. Let Grant play through some mistakes

I just worry about Jose being reluctant to shoot. Two point guards on the floor at the same time has worked well for the Knicks in the past. Gallo, Afflalo off the bench could be a nice look for the second unit. Also, it might be smart to try and have either KP or Rolo at the 5 at all times. O'Quinn/Seraphin aren't rotation players in my opinion.

so basically get a new backcourt!
The thing about moving Jose to SG, especially if he is to start, is that defensively SG's typically run around a million picks all over the court. No way Jose can keep up with players like that. AA runs hard, not smart, but hard all over the place.

it's the lesser of two evils. i'd rather cut down on penetration into the lane and allow jumpshots if given the choice. coincidentally, calderon is a very good shooter and the triangle needs guys who can shoot-- one reason you can't play grant that much just yet. you have to find ways to hide flaws while exploiting strengths. meanwhile galloway is a very good shooter and a better defender than afflalo, who is just not working out, and whose attitude seems to have gone south. galloway can also push the ball, something we have been lacking. how many fast breaks has afflalo run this year?

Nah--play Grant Fredette Galloway Early
cut Anthonys minutes significantly and keep KPs minutes to 24. I would increase Lopez to 35 every game as well.
bench Calderon for year
whether we get position 5 or position 10 in the draft who f cares?

It you find a sucker why not to ride him all the way to the bank as many times as you can?
Do you remember the Pinocchio story - take this 5 golden coins, plant them in MSG field of fools, and the tree full of golden coins will grow!!! The irony is that the tree did grow and Dolan also laughing at his way to the bank.
He just a man who is sharing the wealth.

You forget Dolan was so shook by Ujiri's continued fleecing that he outsmarted himself and VETOED the Kyle Lowry trade to New York....

I think that Phil vetoed that move. Think he may have already been in the loop.
At the time there were questions about Kyle Lowrey and either Shump or TJHjr were not hindsight disappointments.
How many draft picks can we provide Toronto anyway?
In the end Lowrey turned up his game and maturity level, but three years ago they were in question.
Dolan was right to veto the trade based what they had to go on at that time.
In hindsight, I would ok unless we don't draft KP because we finished 6th worst last year, and in 2018 what would we have had by then? Lowrey old, Melo old and who did we draft last year?
Time and motion is hard to really project if the trade would have been good for us LONG TERM. This team can't be fixed.
We'll finish about 32 wins which was expected by many. Our back court did not progress.
PHil and Co. have done some good things but we missed this year with Grant and Galloway not progressing as one would have hoped. Its not like they were not given an opportunity!

Uhm nope. Grant definitely was not given an opportunity and was continually in Fisher's mystery dog house. I guess Grant's girl didn't want to sleep with Fisher too...
Grant started 0 games for the Knicks and averaged 16 minutes in the 53 games he was allowed to cameo in.
It's like the Knicks were trying to compete for a ring with Calderon as starter instead of develop their first round draft pick...JUST STUPIDITY AT ITS HIGHEST.

dk7th, just when I was still amazed that your first line of the OP wasn't "1. TRADE THE DOUCHELO!!!", you have to revert to form.
What's it going to take to stop "The Trade" was a "fleecing" madness? You've already written off the Mayor and Moz, and Gallo, by your own account is the greatest forward on the IR. How, exactly did we get fleeced? By getting Ray Felton back instead of one of the other three? The 3 million dollars? The draft picks that we would have probably pissed away on another Bargs-type trade?
What exactly do you have to type out yourself in order to stop? When Denver has to move the team to Columbus, Ohio?
