-Asked this the other day but who says no to Melo for Bosh's contract and the Heat's pick?
-Andrew Lynch of Fox Sports has a dumb 6 step plan to fixing the Knicks
Fire Phil
Snipe Ujiri (who he claims Dolan has wanted to hire before, which actually was a rare positive thing from Dolan), or Sam Hinkie
Keep Hornacek
Sign Chris Paul and keep Melo
Chris Paul is a first ballot HOFer but just silly. I'd LOVE to dump Phil for Ujiri but that's not happening, at least not this year.
-Berman claims the only reason Jackson hired Hornacek over Rambis was because the younger Hornacek would likely relate to players better... Hornacek is about to be 54, Rambis is 59. This story seems highly, highly unlikely.
-Berman The 18-year-old point guard Frank Ntilikina, who played in the French League for LNB Pro A and is a projected lottery pick, was videotaped working out in the Carmelo Anthony-owned gym in midtown Manhattan. The Knicks scouted the 6-5 prospect in France. Ntilikina should be around if the Knicks pick around sixth or seventh. Draft workouts can begin in late April.
Sorry if thats a spoiler.
do you know the odds are less than 3 percent 2 teams leap the knicks let alone 3
Quote:
Knicks will pick 7th if the lotto holds. If a team 8th or higher nabs a top 3 pick, Knicks fall to 8th. If 2 teams leap, 9th. 3 teams, 10th.

It's the Knicks. I wouldn't expect anything differently
Come the fuck on.
ball, fulz jackson, fox, monk, smith, isaac, markannen, frank...1 of them will be there

If he's as good as you all say he is, he'll probably be picked before us

Does Markannen really belong on that list?
You forgot they picked two fucking point guards in the lottery, which led to the Warriors taking a PG by the name of Stephen Curry, who wanted to go to the Knicks and was not interested in the Warriors.
Speaking of which...
Trade down a possibility if NY picks 7-9?
Few possibilities:
Winslow and Miami's pick (14) for 7?
Andre Drummond straight up for the pick?
Drummond I would think about... especially if they take like Noah back.
I bet they go Monk or Markennen
ball, fulz jackson, fox, monk, smith, isaac, markannen, frank...1 of them will be there
Does Markannen really belong on that list?
I wouldn't put him there. I was high on Markannen in December/January, but far less so now. He's a terrific shooter who could develop a nice post game too, but he's not good at anything else. No point in putting him next to KP. Collins would be a better fit than Markannen. I'd replace Markannen's name with Tatum.

thats who i forgot
What was the Knicks record the past month of the season? Ill answer for you. IT was terrible. They lost a shit load of games down the stretch. So did other teams.
Knicks suck and forever will suck but their W/L record and draft opportunity is one of the few things they haven't fucked up lately. They still suck though. Forever and ever.
monk is a total wild card, will a team take a chance on him? will the sixers take him top 5?
I'd put Monk last among those three, but I'd be happy with any of those guys. I think Smith is going to be very, very good.
Isnt Monk an inch shorter than Kobe's actual height?
agreed
But being arm chair analysts is half the fun. And I'm not sure Phil has earned the trust that some other GMs have.
Beautifully said.
There was a consensus "3" in 2015. Last year, there was a top 2, then a "consensus 5" after those 2. So far, it looks like all the best prospects were outside that crop completely (Brogdon, Maker and Chriss).
Collins can easily be one of those helium guys. I can see him being pit directly against Markannen because he can rebound and play defense as well as having promise for a 3 point shot.
Now we're setting our sights on a mystery man from France, which brings back memories of, well, I won't even say the name.
However I was a Mudiay guy and wanted him at 4. I liked KP over Russell and Okafor though. My rankings were
1.) Towns
2.) Mudiauy
3.) KP
Otherwise you could do something like Mirotic contract + like grant and Valentine.
id do their first, zipser, valentine and payne
I read an article earlier today in which a guy was trying to talk up among others, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jerian Grant, who're now a combined 4-23 from the field in the postseason. I'm so fed up with these horseshit writers. I don't give a shit what Robin Lopez is doing anymore.
