NFT: Knick Chat

Pete44 : 6/11/2021 10:57 am
It is being reported by Empire Sports Media that the Knicks are one of the teams interested in Pacers C Myles Turner.

This would make some sense as Turner is a rim protector and an offensive threat. The lack of Gibson/Noel being an offensive threat was definitely a detriment in the Hawks series. Of course, the cost could be prohibitive as Indiana is tough to deal with.

really wish we could draft Davion Mitchell. I love this kid. I was originally thinking he'd go in the 8-12 range, looking like he could go as high as the 5-7 range though.

It seems like there's a clear top 5, but I bet that gets you to the 2nd tier at 6-9.
Amazing what some lottery luck can do.  
bceagle05 : 6/22/2021 9:29 pm : link
Cade/Hayes/Bey/Stewart is a pretty good young core, with Grant as the vet.
Bouknight is mocked in the late lottery now, so out of Knicks' reach.

but if i were them id keep both picks and add 2 more young players to their vets, they wont do it because they are going to try and win at all costs..But they could set up a nice transition
Yes they’ll need a young core in place

Cooper at 6'3 -- if true -- really does change things about his game. He still can't shoot a lick but if he's there at 19 he does enough other things well that it is worth considering.
Cooper was listed at 6'1 and he barely looks it even with the fro, I  
Jim in Hoboken : 6/22/2021 9:45 pm : link
don't know how much milk he drank in the last month but 6'3 is a surprise for sure.

We need guards with quicks and skills. Either Christopher for the athleticism and upside or Mann for the scoring, creating. Mann reminds me of a smaller SGA.
I think the combine  
Carl in CT : 6/22/2021 10:00 pm : link
Might have a lot more value this year then in the past. It sure looks like you can get the same value at #6 as #20 depending on a teams preference. I wouldn’t move up unless into the top 5. After that I trade picks and players for other players.

I could see the Knicks packaging both #19 and #21 to move up to the Spurs spot at #12 and nabbing someone they deemed to have "fallen out of" the top 10-- I saw a mock draft yesterday that had us doing that and it made sense-- they had us taking Bouknight there. Maybe that could be Davion Mitchell for the reason you just mentioned about his height.

I don't know much about Mann. How does he compare to the other 2 names I just mentioned? I saw someone here say they don't see much difference between the #20 and #6 player, is Mann worth waiting for at #19 and then we grab an extra guy at #21? Or maybe if we do stay put then we see a trade like Robinson + #21 for someone (idk maybe Myles Turner).

If we do draft a PG we believe is the guy of the future I'd still like to sign Lowry and Rose for a year to tag team at PG while the young dude develops.
oh that was you who said that lol

bceagle05 : 6/22/2021 10:45 pm : link
though I think he’s gone either way. They’ll draft whichever Jalen is on the board to pair with FVV in the backcourt.

Question about free agent signings an contracts  
Leg of Theismann : 6/23/2021 3:31 am : link
Is there such a thing as a contract year that is BOTH a player and a team option? I was thinking what would ideal for signing Lowry would be to sign him to 2 years — 1 year being guaranteed and the 2nd year being a team option basically, but I realized Lowry probably wouldn’t like that so was wondering if it could be like a mutual option on the 2nd year where BOTH team and player need to pick up the option. I wouldn’t even mind making it $25M for the first year and $30M for the 2nd year. I just feel like if we draft a PG, the ideal situation would be to have Lowry and Rose for 1 or 2 years tag teaming at PG basically, but it would be nice to have flexibility in the even say we have an opportunity to sign a big time star in 2022 free agency and we can’t because of Lowry’s contract— and let’s say our rookie PG comes on much quicker than we anticipate. Would obviously be nice to play it by ear for year 2 of his contract, but I’m sure Lowry might feel the same about wanting to be flexible so that’s why I thought of it. If we don’t make any other like MASSIVE signings this offseason I wouldn’t mind giving Lowry a large guaranteed number just for this year to entice him to agree to this.
This looks like a 4.5 player draft. Unless they have strong  
Jim in Hoboken : 6/23/2021 5:39 am : link
conviction on someone, I’d stay put.

Is Keon Johnson better than Josh Christopher? Who knows? Bouknight better than Mann? Who knows?

I really like Cooper tho, measuring 6-3 may propel him out of our range.

Those reviews ruined a great game. They simply cannot go to the monitor after every play. It’s become unwatchable. I’d rather they miss a call than completely destroy the flow of the game. Needs to be fixed.
the replays do suck  
Enzo : 6/23/2021 8:26 am : link
but if I'm a fan of either team in that game I'd wait as long as it took to get the right call.

What I don't like is the free timeouts that come as a result of the replays. It's a huge strategic advantange to the team with possession. Are the Suns able to run a play like that if they don't have 5 minutes to draw it up? That play might have just decided the series.
Watched it live and heard the replays this am  
Stu11 : 6/23/2021 8:41 am : link
Kudos the Van Gundy and the Suns color guy for knowing the rule right away that you can touch the ball in the cylinder there. As an amateur official I know that but so often these announcers don't have a clue about the rules.
Agree

3 pick is a big get.
people already starting to talk about a trade for a vet, but i would think hard to pass up the big 3 in the draft.
they also might move sexton ahead of contract.
good for the pistons to get the top pick their roster is a dumpster fire.

You would think if they draft suggs or green they move Sexton..

Garland,Green or suggs, osman, nance, allen is not a bad young 5

I wonder if they take Suggs if they'd be open to moving Garland. I doubt it but if they would I'd want the Knicks to be all over that.

He definitely isn't a pure pg, so I get if it you're looking for someone to distribute. But He's 22 and just scored a really efficient 24 PPG.

I'd trade Obi for him in a second.

Yeah, our management is pretty plugged in, so maybe they could tell if the teammate stuff is something they'd want to avoid with Sexton. But I've always liked him, since the draft. If CLE doesn't think he and Garland are a good fit, then I'd definitely take a chance on him.

for Sexton would be pretty high - even if the Cavs are not looking to pay him. The production is obviously there. Maybe a team offers to take on Love's deal (about 2/60 remaining) as part of a trade.

Dude, can you just use the preview feature occasionally if you're not going to proofread before you hit post? This is like one of those memes where you realize that you don't really need all the letters in proper order.
