The Knicks are Back
i disagree with the notion of trading STAT i think he definitely still got the pep in his step but remember its taking him longer to find his spot this season for a number of reasons;
1. still acclimating to playing with Melo
2. for the first time in his career he's now playing with a real 5 so he gotta share and space the paint which he never had to worry about
3. most of the season the PG was non existent--then lin came along and now he has someone to being the chemistry work with
4. back injury in april and spent most of the summer rehabbing. believe it or not, whenever your hurt it pushes your schedule back and by the time he started doing full body contact basketball drills it was already october/nov. needed to get his feet back and still is.
5. added muscle slowed em down, he's said it and so has d'antoni.
so i say for those reason alone we should wait on em. he'll get back to his level of play as will melo and when they do figure it out (as have bron and wade) they'll be a tough duo to stop cause still anyone one of them can erupt and play as they have during their careers. and that they will. so patience is key with us and we will figure it out. were gonna be a force come april.
