Giannis Antetokounmpo's agent, Giorgos Panou, reveals in the ‘Finding Giannis' documentary that the Knicks were the one team that didn't send a scout or team staffer to see Antetokounmpo in Greece before the 2013 NBA Draft. The Knicks selected Tim Hardaway Jr. with the 24th pick in that draft. It's surprising, though, that New York wouldn't do its due diligence and see Antetokounmpo in person.
We have to get Durant... so many dominos will fall if the Knicks can get Durant to sign. We’re talking basically an all star team...
All I ask is let us land one big lucky break this summer. Either Durant or the first pick. Either one I’d be ok. If we only got the first pick and struck out in FA at least we have a nice young nucleus and money going forward.

Knicks are not allowed to do that, do you not see the backlash the knicks have got for actually doing smart things?
Michael Kay i kid you not said the knicks have to sign people they can not have another losing season after alan hahn said knicks will not spend on lesser players...

Soon after the Knicks made a commitment to better overseas scouting. Not sure when it happened but it’s clear the Knicks seem to even lean towards the overseas player.
I thought Mitch would spend the year in the G-League. Â

Beningo isn’t as bad but he’s been bitching and moaning about the Knicks trying to lose. He seems to hint that it’s a sort of necessary evil but I don’t why people are holding fizdale to the fire. He’s got them battling and trying to win they just blow. No closers.
RE: I thought Mitch would spend the year in the G-League. Â
I've noticed the 6ers get the benefit of the whistle pretty frequently now. Warriors fans are jealous... our team has been elite for 5 years now and we're still bottom third in that department, and here comes Philly strolling in with one strong season after utter mediocrity and they're getting the calls? Whatever.
my guess sixers sensed that and traded for harris just in case...
We'll see how it turns out, but the Sixers may have screwed with their personnel decisions the last few years. They gave up alot to get Butler and Harris, and I'm honestly not sure how much better it made them in the short or definitely not long run. Especially if one of these guys walks in FA.
They'll be fine because they have 2 young all nba talent players, but I think they could have built a true juggernaut. It would have been interesting to see Hinkie finish the job...
Have we seen any meaningful development with Knox? Â
I know he's still super young, but it doesn't feel like he impacts the game at all except for scoring. I hope he can develop into a playmaker and work on his rebounding.
Knox = Brandon Ingram (lengthy, mid teens wing scorer), I suspect Knox will be a better shooter and Ingram a better passer, defender (marginally in both cases)
Trier = reminds me of Andrew Toney or if present day, Jamal Murray ---probably a poor man's version of either, but still an outstanding and free addition
Robinson = the best of the three in terms of upside, this kid's floor is Clint Capela and ceiling is his new teammate Deandre Jordan

There was a period of time where Bernard Kind took him out to eat to give him some advise, and around that same time a negative article had been written about him, where he seemed to get more aggressive and he elevated his game to a higher level. But now he seems to have again slipped back into some of his earlier habits.
Hopefully this off season he will look back at some of those things and next season be able to have more consistency at the higher level. He is still so young and will mature both physically and mentally and things should get easier for him then.
He played 37 games his one season at UK and now up to 50th his first season as a Knick. For a kid two years removed from high school he has to be wearing down at least a little.
Starting to "pull away" from us a bit. A few more Ws out of them and we'll be locked into the bottom three with Cleveland and Phoenix. That gives us the best chance possible at the #1 pick, which is all I care about. Beyond that, we just have to live with the randomness of it.

and he is doing it all on instinct and hard work...
His defensive fundamentals are awful, imagine when he gets that right and stronger

when the knicks actually have good players
Amen to that.
Imagine if that Knox dunk actually meant something!!
Here's to the master plan working and next year having some fun!

If so, are there 4 players in the draft currently considered blue chip prospects?

The three worst records all have equal odds to land the top pick.
The worst record has 48% chance to get the 5th pick.

what's slightly more likely is that they draft in the first 4 picks (if you have the worst record). There's a 52% chance of that.

Correct me if I'm wrong but even if the Knick finish with the worst record in the league, their most likely draft slot is 4th, correct?

we need to get a top 3 pick, Morant/Zion/RJ or bust

Don't they only draw 3 ping pong balls?
How can the worst team go any lower than 4th pick?

They draw for the top 4 picks now. This is the first year they're doing it this way.
