Knicks trying to get Camby in Melo deal

[B-Roy]

Because getting a 25-year-old PG with a 17.3 PER this season would be getting robbed? Particularly for trading a 37-year-old center coming off of knee surgery? The homerism on this board never ceases to amaze.

Yeah, too bad he's a 14 PER player without the SSOL offense. Oh, and he'd be coming into the TSOM (Twenty seconds or more) offense.

I think it would not be "a steal", but it would certainly be a net positive. Turiaf is a solid post, and Felton/Miller would make a FANTASTIC 1-2 punch at point guard. I don't know if we'd have enough minutes to keep both happy though, as I can't really picture them on the floor at the same time.

Sorry guys, I thought it was Dre and Camby for Felton and Turiaf.

Well, he was actually a 15.2 PER player last year before joining the SSOL offense, and that was with a usage rate 2 full points lower than what Miller has in Portland, and on a crappy team.

Yeah, he's a minor downgrade from Miller, but he's a much better outside shooter and about 8 years younger. I'd say he'd be worth picking up if possible.

Yeah, he's a minor downgrade from Miller, but he's a much better shooter and about 9 years younger. I'd say he'd be worth picking up if possible.

His PER hovers around 14.5 for his career, which makes him a slightly below average NBA starter. Which I would agree with. He's also not particularly known for his defense.

At 7.5 Million a year, we could do better.

Miller has basically stayed the same player for his entire career. I'm sure we could get 3-4 years out of him, which is about the length of Felton's contract. I'd rather keep Andre.

Corey Brewer is Travis Outlaw minus the jumpshot.

Travis Outlaw has a jumpshot?

THAT was your 1st post??!!! That's what you are going to bring to the table on a nightly basis?

Uh... he's right.

Outlaw shot lower than 40% from the field last year (although he shot pretty well from 3, at around 38%)... this year he's even worse, with his 3% dropping to 31% and his overall FG% at under 38%.

The dude can't shoot straight.

Turiaf would be an upgrade as a back-up PF. Felton has the potential to be a capable PG. He reminds me of Terry Porter when TP was 26. I like it.

On our team in our system his J won many games for us. Monty taught him to become a good jump shooter.

I don't think the point being made was why HCP called out the n00b. Regardless, it is funny to see some people worship Outlaw v2.0, aka Wesley Matthews, as being some huge upgrade.

Well, there's two main differences...

Matthews doesn't score many of his points on isolations, so there's less ball stopping than with Outlaw....and Matthews plays better defense.

 

[DeanMoriarty]

If so, they would've had to give us Randolph+Billups+filler for Miller+Camby. Otherwise, Camby just makes them too good with his rebounding and defense.

Teams like Miami and NY are beatable if only for the fact that they have no interior defense. Giving them a guy like Camby is like asking them to win the championship for us.

He must have forgot what Monty taught him then.

 

[andalusian]

They play Travis at the 3. Travis never worked well at the 3, even in Portland. He was only useful at the 4 where Nate played him. Travis most certainly has a J.

 

[Minstrel]

Travis can shoot. His weakness was shot selection. That's why he was an inefficient scorer.
