I'm sure that if the Knicks signed a second fiddle star to James first, then that would be enough to entice him to the apple. That's been stated as the goal indirectly.
1 All Star & 1 King.
We couldn't manage that with a Sessions signing because a Curry trade is so circumstancial and if it didn't eventuate, then that's ****ed everything entirely.
So,
Is missing the point.
The plan has never changed. The cap circumstances have. The immediate result isn't too pleasing... But it's still too early to throw stones.
Not throwing any stones....I would've rather signed a young solid Big-SG, but Sessions is the only decent young guard avalable in the FA market with his number one potential being his speed and great IQ in transition.
When u add that alongside of Duhon's decent halfcourt talent, and Nate's energy & speed, our PG position would be solid as a rock, with a creative guard rotation of ball-handlers that first step to the hoop or passing-skills to throw the ball inside or outside to scorers are solid.
The only thing coach Dantoni brings to the Knicks is his demand for ball-movement....so a player with Session talent fits in well with other guards who play into Dantoni's (ball-movement) system.
