I have decided that i will post a thread describing thoroughly what this team needs to win an NBA championship.I will not simply say "lets sign melo" then leave it at that but more so an indef view of what we are lacking.
1.Excellent rebounding Center that can block shots for us in the paint and can run the floor decently-The knicks really lack a rebounding and post defense presence and as long as we have this gap we will never pass the 2nd round.We need a center who can go 1-1 with the paul gasols,boozers, and al jeffersons of the league,and who can get use more offensive possessions with offensive rebounds.
2.A player who can create his shot off the dribble-Right now we have no one who can consistently create his own shot on the perimeter,wilson chandler really just slashes and spots up and although he is getting there,he cannot create offense out of nothing.What we need is a player who can pull up and shoot on a dime,play the post,and carry teams during mini drouts.Now a person that can do all of this and more is melo,but i agreed to not say his name but i did so oh well.
3.A bench-Right now our bench is probably the most sporadic bench in the NBA,sometimes their hot but most of the time toney and the gang cant buy a bucket,thus leaving our starters, mainly amar'e to due heavy lifting.Players that can really help our bench are guys like reggie williams with golden state,jerryd bayless with toronto,and O.J mayo with the grizzlies.We need bench players who are guaranteed to put our offense in a nice transition from the starters to the bench without going on a mega run and getting us in a deficit before the starters are ready to come in again.
Believe it or not but those are the ONLY things the knicks are lacking before becoming a true title contender.Sure there are other little things but in the grand scheme of the things if we get these players:
1.Carmelo anthony
2.marc gasol/camby
3.reggie williams/azubuike(coming back)/O.J mayo
Then your new york knicks will be a force for the next 5 years and may win a championship in that span,maybe even 2.bottom line,donnie has gotten us to the tip of the mountain all we need to do is plant the flag and we are set.
