2463337, as you've said there are obvious limits to this line of thinking

>Incidentally, that's why I consider the Knicks a longshot as well. Carmelo's all-time best win shares is 10.7. Robin Lopez's is 9.5, Affalo's is 6.2. If they hit those career highs again, that's an additional 23.5 wins (because Melo gave them 2.9 win shares last year, he'd "only" add 7.8 wins).
Add those 23.5 to the 17 wins the Knicks got last year and you've got 40.5 wins, which rounded up would've put the Knicks in a tie for the 6 seed.
Sadly, its the most reasonable 'knicks making the playoffs argument' i've heard so far.
