Everything is paraphrased as best I can...tryna type this while I get work done.
Starting:
- The coaches spent the summer planning for the names on the depth chart, so they plotted Melo into the gameplan; allegedly. He mentioned a defensive gameplanning too, so that's nice.
- Low Class Media Move number one: "I'm not asking you to bash former bosses but feel free if you'd like..." legitimate journalist opening.
- No mention of mending fences with KP, they talked about that. Perry has spoken to KP and congratulated him on a great eurobasket. Hornacek didn't commit to KP being ready to take the mantle of centerpiece, but did say that it's the next step in his progression and overall sounds like he's gonna give KP that chance.
- Asked will uncertainty with Melo impact chemistry...Mills says no. Players know that these rumors come up and the whole FO has spoken to and visited Melo all summer. Hornacek says players don't worry about trade talk and NBD's it; I call shenanigans on that one. Hornacek says the play style will be something Melo will embrace.
- Great question: With Butler and George leaving the East, it seems wide open...does that change your strategy on Melo? Perry answers just as well "we're focused on us...and we'll let the chips fall where they may." Closes with words about trying to win which I can respect.
- Horny "we're gonna ask Melo to run plays and defensive schemes that we ask but obviously I'm not gonna not start him."
- Perry: If there was something there to benefit Melo and the Knicks, we'd have done it but obviously we're here today and it hasn't happened yet (so glad he added that "yet" in there).
- Low Class Media Move two: "If this team can get past all the drama and controversies and actually plays basketball..." Hornacek ends up having to explain that the team isn't about to go out and try to lose.
- "Will Frank be ready to compete for a starting spot?" Horny: We really like what we're seeing with these pick up games. He's getting better and better. He's never had strength and conditioning or balancing training. There is an opening there to see if he can compete."
- "Have we seen the last of the triangle?" Horny: The style guys like to play is a bit different and we're gonna try to open it up for them. (He didn't dump on the triangle but did point to a new direction)
- On vets: We wanted guys with a lot of NBA experience. We're looking for guys that will be good professionals, competition and mentors for guys like Frank. Perry has used the word professional in nearly every response.
Hornacek: You haven't seen these pick up games but we see it already. These guys are already taking young guys aside and teaching them. The young guys' ears are wide open.
- Low Class Media Move number three: Asking if they're worried about Melo on Weds. or some nonsense...I can't tell if they're asking whether Melo will get mad at the roster he meets or whether he'll holdout and show up late but I'll admit that I missed part of the question.
- Mills dodges another question about KP skipping exit meetings.
- No playoffs talk, focus is on players getting better. But they want players to go out expecting to win and if they compete every night then they'll be okay with the results.
- A second question about KP taking over the team in case Melo is dealt. Perry shuts it down "I'm not answering a hypothetical. If something changes, we'll answer it at that time." Mills "we do look forward to giving him opportunities to be that guy in games and in situations in conjunction with Melo" Fam...I don't think they're gonna find a Melo trade period. That's the sentiment I'm getting, they want to deal him but won't commit to it because nothing's available.
- The PG's they've brought in understood their roles coming in and Perry feels the competition for minutes will only help Frank.
- Low Class Media Move maxed out: Asking Mills and Perry about Hornacek's job security while he's SITTING RIGHT THERE. Just wow.
- Asked about the front office philosophy, Perry dances around the question. I didn't like that one. He said the staff has varied expertise but that was it for substance.
- Hornacek is doing really well. Speaking on tailoring the system to player strengths and creating a system that they enjoy running. Big difference from the triangle chats. Hornacek also says Perry hasn't shut him down on any of his suggestions, sounded very gracious. Finished with "Bring on Tuesday so we can get this thing started."
- Hornacek is impressed with the Euro boys performance, they should be in great shape but he's gonna monitor them for fatigue as well. Perry adds that you could see them maturing and says that sort of competition is really conducive for player development and growth. Mills says they're coming back with more confidence.
- Joakim Health Question: They've seen him, he looks like he's in shape and seems committed. He's been at the facility for a couple of weeks. They actually say he gets ahead of himself and they have to slow him down sometimes.
- Question on lack of individual defenders. Hornacek says one or two guys bringing it can sometimes transform and motivate a team. They have a different defensive plan that he thinks will help guys trust each other and get after it. "we need guys that will compete every play."
- What should Knicks fans be most excited about? Perry: Commitment to defense is what they want to establish on a daily basis. Horny: You've heard about contagious defense how about contagious passing. You get 2, 3, 4, 5 guys and it becomes 6,7,8,9 guys doing it. Seemed like a real message to Melo tbh.
Perry said "We expect Melo to be professional" every time the name came up...just sayin.
nyknicker escribió:Perry, ha dicho que si hubiera habido un trade que beneficiase a Melo y a los Knicks se hubiera hecho. Dando a entender que habrá habido la oferta de Rockets pero que era insuficienta para nosotros. Bien.
También, hay quien dice que está poniendo presión, sobre Melo, con que cada vez que se les ha preguntado sobre Melo en el equipo, han empezado la frase con un "we expect Melo to be professional"....

Se hace muy largo y tedioso traducir textos. Lo siento si te molesta el post en inglés, pero no tengo tiempo de traducirlo y sobre todo tampoco ganas para serte sincero. .
Una manera rápida aunque no muy eficaz es utilizar un traductor automático, que siempre ayuda un poco.
