they tried to trade walker, TD, or balkman for a pick but douldn't get it done. they will cut balkman.
Welcome to the team JR. I think as a bench player JR is going to shine in NY. our bench was lacking in the scoring department. I think Fields still Starts and JR/Shump are great off the bench. Only issue is with getting Shump minutes, but honestly we saw what giving a rookie starter minutes did to landry last year, so i'm ok with shump being cut back a few minutes (15 would be good?).
Not concerned with giving Novak minutes at all, don't know what people see in him that need developing? He's already got a good 3 pt stroke, he's not going to ever be an adequate defender or slasher so why waste the minutes on him. He will be useful for those times when we need a 3 bad and thats about it.
Otherwise giving our backcourt more depth is great. This meas we are maybe able to cut Lin's minutes down some more, keeping him fresh for the playoffs. It will be interesting to see how Melo and JR fit into the team going forward. I think that it will be an amazing time to be a knicks fan, even more so then it already is.
Last year, the Knicks were back. This year they're STACKED.
