I thought this can use it's own thread

I am so nervous about tonight! 19.9% for the number 1 pick, the worst they can do is 5th.

For me it's Okafor or Towns. I don't want anyone else hopefully they can stay in the top 2. One will lead our franchise for the next 10 years. NO interest in Russell

No chance.

We'll get Mudiay.
If the Lakers nab the #1 pick

Lol, wouldn't have gone any other way  
PhiPsi125 : 5/19/2015 8:51 pm : link
Literally, the worst luck ever.

I can't believe we sat through last season's abortion for the 4th pick.
Bulls win  
MookGiants : 5/19/2015 8:51 pm : link
lottery from what, the 9th position? And knicks go from 2nd to 4th
Cauley-Stein  
MookGiants : 5/19/2015 8:52 pm : link
would be a horrific pick, beyond words how bad it would be.

They still can get Russell. Who Phil probably likes any way
Don't like Okafor...  
bw in dc : 5/19/2015 8:52 pm : link
so I was hoping for # 1 to grab Towns.

Could be fixed now for Lakers...
Of course we have those end of the seasons wins to build on  
steve in ky : 5/19/2015 8:52 pm : link

We should get Mudiay. I have no confidence that we'll make the right pick.
Lakers will go big  
Carl in CT : 5/19/2015 8:52 pm : link
So won't Minny. NYK and Phil will get guards.

Lakers get 2nd pick.  
732NYG : 5/19/2015 8:53 pm : link
Fucking joke this is
Sixers  
dep026 : 5/19/2015 8:53 pm : link
get Russell by default.

Towns to Twolves. They can be scary good in a few years.
So the Twolves  
Deej : 5/19/2015 8:53 pm : link
will end up with the last 3 players taken #1 overall because of the Love trade, right?
If we get Mudiay  
Ash_3 : 5/19/2015 8:53 pm : link
I'm happy.

Also the Lakers are getting Okafor which makes me very very happy.
Guess the Nba wants the lakers  
Earl the goat : 5/19/2015 8:53 pm : link
To rebuild quicker than the Knicks. What a fucking travesty
Towns and Okafor praying the other guy goes 1st

Why do the players have to be there  
#10* : 5/19/2015 8:53 pm : link
if there's no draft?
Hey, the team with the worst record won the first overall pick  
AnotherGiantsFan : 5/19/2015 8:53 pm : link
But it doesn't matter that we won those meaningless games at the end of the season because of the lottery format, right?

This franchise fucking blows.
I bet Philly takes Mudiay  
Ten Ton Hammer : 5/19/2015 8:53 pm : link
That would a continuation of our luck

I'd be shocked if Okafor, Towns and Russell weren't taken 1-3
Knicks went from 1st pick  
MookGiants : 5/19/2015 8:54 pm : link
to 4th because Derek Fisher is a useless fuck.

I remember when everyone on here said it didn't matter 1st or 2nd, only 5% difference.

How do you feel now? Idiots
just don't take that Porzingwhatever guy

this displays a basic lack of understanding of probability.
could be worse  
nygiants16 : 5/19/2015 8:55 pm : link
Could of been 5

Towns Okafor Russell will go top 3

Knicks looking at mudiay Winslow porzingas or henzonja
Not really that big of a deal  
Metnut : 5/19/2015 8:55 pm : link
Outside of towns, picks 2-5 are similar value IMO.
How about the fact that we finished strong?  
Anakim : 5/19/2015 8:55 pm : link
If this team sucked like it did for most of the year, we would've gotten the #1 overall pick. I know, butterfly effect and all that shit, but fuck me. Knicks can't even tank right.
Oh, well. It will be interesting to see what Jackson does now.  
yatqb : 5/19/2015 8:55 pm : link
Mudiay? Trade down for Kaminsky or Cauley Stein? If Russell is there I'd grab him.
The way the Knicks have gone for years  
ChathamMark : 5/19/2015 8:55 pm : link
it was almost predictable. Beyond sad.

It's just an emotional lash out.
I'd prefer Hezonja at that spot

They could've tanked right and still not gotten the pick. That's usually what happens.

Except this time, where the team with the worst record got the #1 overall pick.

I don't understand people pretending like record doesn't matter when it comes to the lottery format. Of course it fucking does.
I really dont want Russell  
Deej : 5/19/2015 8:58 pm : link
Also, kudos to the NBA. Last 5 #1s go to Clev X3, New Orleans, and Minnesota. Great for revenues.

I wonder if any of the top 4 will tell Minnesota not to take them. I expect at least one to do it.

I'm not sure how that's the case, considering that the team that finished last won the 1st pick. He's saying if the Knicks hadn't finished "strong" they would have had the Twolves' position and gotten the first pick.

The team that finishes last has a 25% chance. Nothing is guaranteed. And historically, the team that finishes last usually doesn't get the first pick. Assuming the same thing would've happened if the Knicks had the 25% chance is silly.
lakers basically getting a new front court  
hitdog42 : 5/19/2015 9:00 pm : link
next year with both rookies.
they will be much improved - which is a positive given they shove them down our thoughts with prime time games.

knicks have a lot of options, just not the one they wanted.
i have no sympathy- nets were historically bad, didnt even try and tank just flat sucked, and didnt get wall.
