The Regime Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Carmelo Anthony predicted the Knicks can win at least 50 games next season, can be "the top team in the East" and he'd like a big say in personnel decisions this summer. "We were 42-40 and I can say we could've been a 50-plus win team with some of the games we lost," Anthony said. "Our goal is to always be in the 50-plus win range, especially when we have a whole full year together with training camp and a chance to jell. On my radar, I want to be the top team in the East next year." […] Anthony said he has no regrets about his decision to get traded instead of entering free agency, where the Knicks could have signed him without giving up all their assets. "That's just something I didn't really want to have to deal with, not knowing what the CBA will be like," he said. "I don't regret anything. I'll live with that."Anthony, though, won't live with another 42-40 season. "We want to win, we don't want to have to wait," Anthony said. "We want to win right now. I'm 26, Amar'e is 28. We're young, but at the same time we want to get it done right now. We want to win right now. We've been waiting for a long time to win. The time is now." http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/knicks/decision_making_melo_ready_to_lead_y1vEa1gU6S8OPTHn6D6kkL?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 He's right. If they didn't lose all those games in the middle of the year to wack ass opponents they could've at least achieved 45 wins. Next year they need to re-tool their roster if they will win 50 games. They need to add 1-2 better bench players, and a center who can rebound and play defense. If they do just those few things, they'll win 50 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I could see it happening... quite easily. I'm sure they'll make a few additions to their teams in the off-season, hopefully for the better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As illustrated in the first round of the playoffs this year, the bench players for the Knicks, for lack of a better word, are garbage.

Flash Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 It all depends on the offseason. I can see them coming up just short ending up with around 48 which is still good enough for 5th or 6th in the East. Just not sure how much room for improvement there is with that roster until 2012.

Karl Malone Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 It's definitely a possible goal. It all depends on the off-season we have along with the off-season the rest of the east has... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
