NFT: Knicks: Draft week

But my friend said he likes Garland more than both Morant and Barrett

Knicks flip picks with Pels, Pels take Barrett, Knicks take Garland at 4?

I realize a lot of fans have already walked RJ down the aisle, but I wouldn�t hang up the phone given the Pels war chest.

Garland has a lethal three-point shot and is quick enough to break down defenses - he's like a hybrid of the Portland guards. I'm a big fan of his game.

But that very well could be because Garland got hurt

What do you do with DSJ if you draft Garland? Flip him for another pick?

I would think. A pick in the 11-20 range?

either the Knicks are preparing in case NO moves up to two for Barrett and someone makes a godfather type offer for #3 for Morant, the Knicks want teams trying to trade up to 4 for Garland to offer the same for 3 to see if it's something they want to do, or the Knicks no longer feel like Barrett being at #3 is a certainty and aren't in love with Morant.

Barrett not working out for any other team tells me that the Knicks have given some signal that they're taking him at 3 if he's there and this happening at the last minutes means it likely has something to do with whatever New Orleans is up to.

Interesting. I don't know much about Garland at all.

Source: The Atlanta Hawks have been aggressive exploring trades packaging the No. 8 and 10 picks to move up in the draft. Their offer to the Knicks for the No. 3 pick was apparently rebuffed. The Pelicans are considering the possibility of trading the No. 4 pick for 8+10.

DSJ's trade value may be even lower than that right now.

Knicks rebuffed

If true,sounds like you can expect a very safe selection from the Knicks.Maybe someone will sense it and jump ahead of them,just like what used to happen to the Giants.

and you can't tell much on that in a workout.

Plus small guys are generally a defensive liability in the era of positionless basketball.

the last minute workout is them simply doing their do diligence incase they get an offer for #3 that they can't refuse.

The Atlanta Hawks have been aggressively trying to move up in the draft by offering a trade package including the No. 8 and 10 picks, according to ESPN�s Jonathan Givony.

The Knicks apparently rebuffed the offer for the No. 3 pick, per Givony, but the Pelicans are considering the possibility of trading the No. 4 pick for the Hawks�two top-10 picks.

Not surprising. The Draft falls off a cliff from the top-3 (4, if you count Garland)

Is not enough to get to #3 for me.

For #3. I shouldn�t be Hart or Ball if we are working out a PG.

knicks worked out mo bamba and everyone thought theybhad a deal to move up

Good point. But I bet they tried to get him.

but Ingram and #4 doesn't make me want to move #3.

side note: I really despise that the draft is before FA.

Kid is a freak of athletic and offensive talent for his height. Injuries are obviously a huge concern. Think he goes top 10? Probably worth the risk in a shallow draft

no one would think he was any good. PASS.

What would anyone take from NO to drop from 3 to 4? I know stay the course is the popular answer one I agree with but would an unprotected #1 do it? (And not the laker picks).

Wow. He's not getting close to 25.1 million this year.

seeing that there's a lot of money out there to be spent and opting out.

We've seen this movie before. Mozgov got 64Mil!

Who knows how it turns out in the long run, but this drafts prospects are Zion as clear number 1 and Morant/ Barrett 2a/ 2b. After that it�s a pretty steep drop off.

I really like Culver but it would take a lot for me to move down to 4. And 8/10/17 isn�t cutting it to get to 3.

I�m starting to get excited about Barrett. And he�s on the next Boardroom with Kleiman and Jay Williams...
