they need to make some trades, get some defenders

Forget about trading Shumpert, he's the only guy who's not named injured Tyson plays defense. They need more players like that. Forget about empty garbage talk of titles. Build a solid playoff team first.

It's the East, you don't need to be an offensive power house to win games. As long as you can grind it out, hanging there all game long, with Melo on the court, they can win plenty games.
