The 5% Rule!!

I didn't really know this until semi-recently but it makes sense as to why GM's do what they do.

In the NBA it is said the you keep what you have have and run with it if you Have a 5% chance of winning a title.  5% sounds low but if you think about , when you establish east and west and who you have to go through to get there it's plausible that all you yo need is 5%.

I bet Dallas was a 5 per-center and not only did they need to beat out better teams in the west but they needed Miami to have a let down and VIOLA title!!

It's not the greatest formula but C-Webb should have a title if it wasn't for a last sec. shot by Robert Horry of the Lakers to beat the Kings and take the west.  It's easy to forget the "lucky shots" because the Lakers technically were the favorite but if C-Webb slaps that ball to the side out-a-bounds instead of the back court... Kings win a title and they go down in history as the 1-shot champion like the Mavs.

So why do I bring this up?  Well early in the season I thought the Knicks were a 5 per-center but it fear due to age a fragility they may have fallen out of the 5%.

The Knicks ARE old and the age is showing up in there ability to stay healthy.  With Wallace and Camby out they have NO interior defenders after Chandler and J-Kidd seems to running on fumes as the season goes on.  to top it all off their rookie PG is 35 and not a scoring threat... DAMN reality is a bitch.

So what the hell should we do cause this AINT A LAUGHING MATTER!  Melo needs a 2nd option  a real deal money 2nd option and the Knicks need defense...D-Fence D-FENCE!!  Do we still have Jared Jefferies number? Seriously.

Brandon Jennings could help BUT what are the Bucks going to take?

A risk could be dealing Chandler and Amare for Howard and a bad contract the Lakers want to dump. (Pau Gasol maybe?)

It's tough the the thing is the Knicks don't have a lot of long term contracts right now but the the old guys in 2 years are just going to be.... OLDER!!

Melo IS NOT AN ISLAND he can't do it alone STAT (love him) isn't the same player he use to be lastly HEALTH is an issue. 

Getting Jared Dudley is a good idea BUT NOT for Shumpert sorry... But if you can get Jennings too I can see moving Shumpert, STAT, Prigioni, and maybe Smith...

WOW maybe the best move is the one you didn't make (I wish we still had Jefferies).  

Maybe we can sign K-Mart to a 10-day?
