Well that was a surprise. Last night the Knicks traded JR Smith and Iman Shumpert for Lance Thomas, Alex Kirk, and Lou Amundson and waived Sam Dalembert. Philly won so the Knicks are officially in 30th. Or 1st if you are rooting for the best chance at that #1 pick. The tank is in full effect! | |||
Rank | Player | Comments | Last weeks Rank |
1 | Acy, Quincy | Acy gets the #1 spot solely for last nights game. 87% shooting. 2 three pointers. 14 rebounds. Team high 19 points. What? | 9 |
2 | Aldrich, Cole | Cole was on a roll until the Memphis game. It was fun while it lasted. At least we don’t have to worry about Dalembert taking his minutes anymore. | 2 |
3 | Prigioni, Pablo | I could put any of our 3 PGs in the 3-5 spots, they are all of equal talent right now. And by equal talent I mean somewhere in the high 20’s or low 30’s as far as best PG’s in the league. | 4 |
4 | Calderon, Jose | Remember when Calderon wasn’t washed up? One of these days the Knicks will aquire a player BEFORE he’s past his prime. | 3 |
5 | Larkin, Shane | I was about to write how this team is composed of shooters who can’t shoot and PG’s who can’t pass and then Shane ruins it by getting 8 assists against Memphis. | 5 |
6 | Hardaway Jr., Tim | The only SG on this team can’t shoot or defend. What’s the opposite of 3 and D? | 8 |
7 | Wear, Travis | Travis must be relieved. With all the nothing the Knicks just received in the trade there is no way he’s getting cut now. | 7 |
8 | Early, Cleanthony | Looks like we’ll be seeing a lot of Early going forward. Especially if Melo shuts it down. | 14 |
9 | Anthony, Carmelo | Don’t shut it down. It’s much better for everyone if you limp around once or twice a week and then take a few games off. | 1 |
10 | Smith, Jason | Since he’s now the only Smith on the team I won’t have to clarify when I say Smith shot terrible and I wish he wasn’t on the court. | 6 |
11 | Stoudemire, Amar’e | A lot of people want Amare back next season. Why? So he can play 40ish games and stall the offense when he does? | 11 |
12 | Amundson, Lou | I like Lou but he’s most likely going to get cut before he puts on a jersey. | N/A |
13 | Kirk, Alex | Hey guy #2 who is going to get cut before he puts on a jersey. | N/A |
14 | Thomas, Lance | Hey guy #3 who is going to get cut before he puts on a jersey. | N/A |
15 | Bargnani, Andrea | After missing 73 straight games Bargs played 1 full game and 2 minutes of another and is now out indefinitely. Ugh. | 15 |
