Knicks fans are going to LOVE how awful Enes is on defense.
I mean, there's nobody in the East so it maybe doesn't matter, but it's amazing how awful he is.
He will fit right in.

2 SU guys on the same team, nice.
It really is at an unreal disparity. If you go by ESPN's player rankings that they just published, 8 of the top 10 players are in the west as well as 21 of the top 30.Blow up the conferences. The talent disparity between East and West is absurd.
It's a bit shocking how little the Knicks got for Melo.Knicks fans are going to LOVE how awful Enes is on defense.

Hmm. He's on a really good contract though. They might not be able to get better value for the money.Unfortunately I wouldn't be surprised if Jerami became trade fodder in OKC pursuit to beat GSW.
The Knicks can win again!!
On the flip side, what kind of crazy stealth off-season has OKC had?
Picked Melo and George pennies on the dollar. Perfectly timed free agency to land Patterson on a great contract.
I mean, they don't have much of a bench, but geez, that's an interesting team. How does Billy Donovan feel right now? And this keeps Melo away from Houston and Portland.
Sam Presti looks like a genius with this off-season's moves. Now they only need to win on the court to prove him right.Added Melo and George while the best thing they have up was Oladipo. And no first round picks lost right? Great job by Presti to scrap together a potential contender at least for a year so quickly after KD left. Will be interesting to see how those 3 play together. I will be rooting for them!

That may be an indication of several things:
how much the Knicks wanted him gone...
how limited their options were...
how poor the Knicks' front office & ownership is...
or even how relatively little Melo is valued by other teams.
Enes Canter is questionable at best.
The Knicks have a potential center of the future in Hernangomez.
Doug McDermott is a nice role player but isn't making a franchise.
Overall...good for Melo.
Sad for the Knicks.
Best days are behind him. He isn't 40. He is not just an ISO scorer.What would you give up for a 33-year old ISO scorer whose best days are behind him? As a Knicks fan, I'd have loved a first-round pick, but the fact that we didn't take on a lot of extra salary is definitely a plus.
Perhaps Dougie Buckets can morph into Gordon Hayward 2.0.

Yeah, I mean...he can pretty much still do it all on offense. He’s just not as explosive as he was so he doesn’t finish at the rim as well or get as many easy buckets running the floor or by getting to the line.
But he can still score in a ton of ways and is a capable passer.
Will be interesting to see how they mesh. Melo has been the best player on every basketball team he’s played on, and PG has been Indiana’s best player for at least 5 years...and now they’re both not. I think both have big enough skill sets to where they can fill the roles OKC needs them to fill though.
Golden State is a tweaked ankle (Durant, Curry, or Clay) away from parity with the Thunder and Rockets. Long season. Anything can happen.Great move. I think the only way Melo wins a ring tho is if he joins GSW.
Eh... I don't know about that. Those other teams are going to have to gel. The Warriors are about as ready made a nucleus as you can imagine.Golden State is a tweaked ankle (Durant, Curry, or Clay) away from parity with the Thunder and Rockets. Long season. Anything can happen.
