Kiya- I know you have been the one to predict things no one else predicts and it comes true but i have to disagree with you on the "star" label being given to Tyson and Amare. No system can make these guys stars again, they are way past their prime and declining fast.
They might be able to play consistently in system basketball but Tyson isnt Shaq...I see Amare benefiting from the triangle more than Tyson.
I agree with the sign and trade for Melo.
The Bulls have been rumored to be willing to dump their first round picks for an elite scorer and we could take those picks with guys like Taj Gibson and Jimmie Butler and start the rebuild or trade Melo to the west to Houston and get Lin, Asik, Parson and a pick
Tyson Chandler always perform like a star-center when u add a forward defensive-leader in the lineup with him .. Deng/West/Marion/Jefferies .. Tyson plays a great role at center when given less than 30 minutes per game, and when he has the same players in his line-up.
Tyson will be in the league for 4 or 5 more seasons.
Amare Stoudemire will play like a star PF when u put a forward defensive-leader in the lineup with him .. Marion/Grant Hill/Will Chandler/Jefferies .. Amare will dominate the frontcourt when playing 32 minutes per game in an uptempo offense scoring before opponents could set-up on defense.
Amare will be in the league for 4 to 5 more seasons.
I dont see the Knicks playing a "triangle-system" until midseason.
If the Knicks could grab the Bulls Gibson team-leadership in a sign n trade for Melo the Knicks frontcourt bigmen of Tyson/Amare/Barg/Gibson/Tyler are capable of having a 50 win 2014-15 season. By adding a decent pass-first starter PG (similar to Grizz PG-Mike Conley).
