all things being equal, yeah - who doesn't - but something also tells me he won't consider it an utter failure when they miss the playoffs, given what was beyond their control, whereas riles will

feel like spo could do way better tbh he's a handsome dude
i think j0rdan just means the psychologizing of these figures but maybe he meant sexy stuff too who knows

No. He made one bad trade and everything else has been fine. That's why it's so boring, just a bunch of decent sensible moves.

This is all fine and normal stuff. Stuff a rebuilding team does.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 10 April 2015 02:49 (nine years ago) link
previous Knicks GMs would have doubled down on that JR-Melo-Chandler team like it was a title contender, which is why Phil is a refreshing change of pace imo
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 10 April 2015 02:51 (nine years ago) link
they could've traded JR straight up if they really wanted to dump him without including shump. trading chandler just for the excuse of dumping felton was equally idiotic.
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 10 April 2015 02:52 (nine years ago) link
both of those major trades were pretty bad for the knicks though. the rest of the stuff is whatever i guess
― k3vin k., Friday, 10 April 2015 02:52 (nine years ago) link
prigioni trade is perfectly defensible. that's about it.
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 10 April 2015 02:53 (nine years ago) link
and it's defensible bc dumping pablo's money for the joke cost of a joke human known as shved is perfectly fine
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 10 April 2015 02:54 (nine years ago) link
resigining melo is the worst move he's made
― Clay, Friday, 10 April 2015 02:55 (nine years ago) link
I like Shumpert but he's a pretty fungible NBA asset at this point.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 10 April 2015 02:55 (nine years ago) link
that move was pretty unavoidable, i mean the knicks were just not going to not re-sign melo, but yeah if you include that, he's 0-3 in major moves

i mean you can't be in a 3 team trade, export the only 2 players in the trade that are above replacement level, and have one of the OTHER teams get a 1st round pick. that trade was mind-glowingly bad
― k3vin k., Friday, 10 April 2015 02:57 (nine years ago) link
oh of course he had to, rock and a hard place and all, but tying up like $140 million in a 30 year old volume shooter who can't play d and has bad knees is not good for the franchise long-term
― Clay, Friday, 10 April 2015 02:57 (nine years ago) link
phil doesn't seem to get that if you're gonna firesale all your assets you at least need to get something back
― k3vin k., Friday, 10 April 2015 02:58 (nine years ago) link
not when you're a losing moribund franchise he isn't! he's replaceable with free agents yes but they'll replace him with someone old who will fail, it's the knicks
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 10 April 2015 02:58 (nine years ago) link
the knicks will pay melo ~$28 million in *2019*, what will melo's game look like in 2019

I can't really imagine JR Smith and Iman Shumpert fetching a first rounder. Possible I guess but you'd have to find a real idiot.
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 10 April 2015 03:02 (nine years ago) link
I had kind of forgotten that Everyone's Favorite GM (circa 2010) did a panicked trade of a first rounder for Dion fucking Waiters
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 10 April 2015 03:04 (nine years ago) link
so what you're saying matt is that you're actually jam3s d0lan and that's why you're defending all this and betting on shved

i have no prob with them trading chandler but that return is really abysmal, if they shopped him around and chose that they should've hung onto him
idk how the JR/shump trade worked out but given how desperate the Cavs were at that point I feel like they could've wrung that first rounder out of them
that said they needed to get rid of all those guys and they were prob gonna get fungible pieces back regardless, i honestly don't think we can glean much
i think this summer will be a much clearer indication of phil's worth as a GM
