The Knicks and Tobias Harris
Disturbingly, the Knicks now seem to be rolling. Let's hope they don't roll right out of the top 4 in the draft, bucause it's looking like a 4 player draft. Maybe a bit deeper but the Knicks shouldn't tempt fate.
Anyway, much was made today about Tobias Harris's eagerness to join the Knicks and win a title. Delusional as that sounds, and as bad as TH played tonight in only his second game off the DL, it's probably a good way to go. The Knicks are either going to get a C or a PG if they stay in the top 4 of the draft. But what they will also need to go along with that kid, will be another young scorer, whether it's a 2 or a 3/4 like Tobias Harris.
Harris is only 22 and was really developing until he hurt his ankle and missed a bunch of games. Presuming that will stabilize and he'll continue to grow, Harris would be a nice target for the Knicks. He's an RFA and that might be the market the Knicks should be playing with this year's group of UFA's being older and looking for max deals - and if they're any good the teams that have them can offer a bigger max, so... RFA's could be appetizing.
The Knicks essentially only have 1 starter now, and that's Melo. So between the pick and the cap room they really need to try to get 4 more, with at least three of them being long term fixes. Harris could be part of that group.

This is pissing me off
I'd take Monroe or Millsap :)!Deandre Joran would be sweet, but likely too pricey.
don't worry The losing will resume :)
The draft will determine what else we do. If we get one of the two bigs, we'll need guards.
If we get one of the guards, we'll need bigs, but I'm not that into Monroe or Milsap. Nor would I be into Deandre Jordan.
Why leave Atlanta?
And by the way, ithe game I went to early in the season was against the Hawks I didn't see these teams going in such divergent directions. But it's time for the Knicks to get back to losing.
I like Harris, he's already 18/7 who stretches the floor and he's only 22. I think he's just scratching the surface.
Ideally we get okafor but I would also love mudiay
I think Monroe or Millsap would be perfect for the Triangle. Everyone wants Gasol I think that's a pipe dream. While more limited offensively Jordan give the Knicks something they don't have now it's rim protection. I watch all the games on league pass, and either would be an instant upgrade. not sold on Dragic, whom some seem to be.
LJN ,Your first post said it all !!
Heh. I am going to guess that Melo shuts it down after the AS game.
Yay loss.
I was getting a little worried.
