How Will Melo and Stat Coexist


With all the talks surrounding the Knicks and possible trades for melo the major issue I keep hearing is HOW WILL HE FIT IN OUR CURRENT SYSTEM? and noI'm not bringing up the debate on whether we wait till free agency of trade for him now because my feeling on it is this why give up assests when we know that he wants to be here this summer? Now if walsh has reason to believe that he will sign the ext then we go for it but other than that the answer is NO! So when Melo becomes a Knick how will it work for all partys involved?

Jump to find out!

So right now our bread and butter is the pick and roll. Does this change when we aqquire Melo? NO! This is MDA we are talking about Amare will still be the number one option. When teams collapse on STAT gues who will be on the wings waiting for the kick out with gallo and easy e, Carmelo Anthony.

When we play a team that slows things down and we have to play in half court sets, guess who will get the iso Carmelo Anthony.

When Carmelo drives to the basket and a team collapse on him, Guess what his options will be; pass to stat who is waiting to hit the 15-20 footer, kick it to gallo for a 3, or pass it to ray and the pick and roll will the run.

Also I do beleive melo could be a point forward type in this system which means we no longer need a back up pg DWTDD will be enough.

So do you see what Im getting at Stat and Melo in this offense will work and if raymond is our 3rd gotp guy, I think we become a title contender, Because aside from our big three Raymond, Melo, and Stat we have Gallo, Wilson, Fields, DWTDD, and williams who can all knock down the open jumper.

Also lately their have been lots of talks that AR is on his way out to houston so that we can get our very own 1st rounder back to send to DEN. Just an fyi.
