NFT: NBA Draft Talk - Knicks Trade down Scenarios

GMEN46 : 5/19/2018 8:04 am
I am not a proponent of doing this just bringing it up. Suns have mentioned possibility of using some of their future picks to move up from 16 back into lottery if there is a player that they really like. Personally I think it’s too far back for Knicks to pick at 16, but if Suns offered 16 and 31 this year and their own 2019 pick, top 7 protected and then top 3 protected in 2020, is there a player in the 16 range that would be a good upside pick? Based on top prospects it doesn’t seem like it, but if Our best option is Miles Bridges from MSU at 9 At then I would trade down. Also what are people’s thoughts on Knox from kentucky?

I know DMM mentioned weeks ago that the Knicks had scouted him late in the season.

I mean, he's a better ball handler, passer and finisher than Mikal Bridges, and is 3 years younger. He just finished the year with a .556 FG% and .450 3 pt%. Much smaller sample size, but he also wasn't playing with the best collection of offensive talent in NCAA.
is it to much of reach to take at 9?  
nygiants16 : 5/30/2018 12:59 pm : link
and i have a feeling the knicks like mikal so much because he has such a high floor..

i get the sense this regime is afraid to make a mistake

Ronnie Baker exercises his $4.5 million dollar player option.

Not sure what's more pathetic - giving him $4.5 million per year, or giving him a player option.

I thought he was dead once he was murdered by Anthony Davis earlier this year. Once he is done in the NBA that will be the only play people will remember him by.

Why he got that contract is beyond me.
Here's some encouraging news...

DraftExpress has quite a few intriguing names in the 30-40 range on its Top 100 board (we have pick #36).

Diallo and Simons are the project picks with big upside, but there are plenty of solid players in that group. I don't get many opportunities to highlight a BC basketball player, but Jerome Robinson can really play.

30) Grayson Allen - SG - Duke
31) Melvin Frazier - SF - Tulane
32) Chandler Hutchison - SG/SF - Boise St
33) Jevon Carter - PG - West Virginia
34) Jalen Brunson - PG - Villanova
35) Moritz Wagner - C - Michigan
36) Hamidou Diallo - SG - Kentucky
37) Anfernee Simons - SG - High School
38) Jerome Robinson - PG - Boston College
39) Gary Trent Jr. - SG - Duke
40) Shake Milton - PG/SG - SMU - 21.6 - 6-6/7-1
41) Justin Jackson - SF/PF - Maryland - 21.2 - 6-7/7-3
42) Chimezie Metu - PF/C - USC - 21.1 - 6-10/7-0½

$30 million combined to useless pieces like Lance, Ron, and Noah....sickening.
Yeah it stings.  
bceagle05 : 5/31/2018 11:37 am : link
If our cap was in better shape we could take Faried off Denver's hands, with the 14th pick attached to him. Oh well. We'll have to put #9 and #36 to good use.

if kanter opts out knicks will have space to do it...

lance deal is not horrible, it is non guaranteed after next year
Lance is a horrible player  
Enzo : 5/31/2018 11:44 am : link
therefore, anything more than the minimum for him is a horrible contract.
