Phil HAS to do something in FA to salvage this. The saving grace for the Knicks is that we're in the East, and one decent player with Melo can literally jump us into a playoff spot. I doubt if the home run FA's for this year or next year were gonna come anyway (LMA, Durant next year), but getting base hits like Wes Matthews, Millsap, D.West (who I hear wants to come), does sound like a decent plan.

I don't either...just don't think Zingas is that guy. Fuck the reports, they all sound like Fran Frashilla wrote them. All the reports I've seen and read rave about Zingas, give him glowing reviews, and at the very end in small letters say some shit like, He does have big bust potential.
> >If someone simply doesn't think that Porzingas is going to pan >out and be that guy in 3 years, then sure hate the >pick...that's completely understandable. I ABSOLUTELY hate the pick. I've heard this song and dance so many times from a Euro (and it's hypocritical because once Philly took Jah (fuck them too), I wanted Mudiay).
I actually didn't log in last night after the pick was made because I was literally mad (saw this morning O_E wanted to fight heads...I did too...lol). I have a problem wasting the prime of a top 10 player. I think Melo got lied to by Phil.
He could've picked a player that can play now, and STILL improved later. From all accounts, Zingas ain't that...from what I've seen, he's another Bargnani.
