The current rumors are still the same. Knicks are trying to trade up. They are willing to part with both firsts. Their supposed targets are Davion Mitchell or Chris Duarte. I feel like a lot of rumors are started with agents using the Knicks as pawns because they have both draft picks and cap space so take a lot of these rumors with a grain of salt. Last year nobody saw the moves coming with respect to trades or us picking Quickley. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
BUTLER! Let's go!

Is that worth giving up the chance to take anyone we want at this point?
Rose did the same thing last year. He'll trade draft picks for pennies on the dollar if there's no one he likes. Look at the Daniel Oturu trade and the Bolmaro trade.
Considering how our picks panned out, I don't mind that.
Trading down 2 spots to take IQ wasn't the issue. That was a fine trade. It was the other two trades that were head-scratching.
Give me Butler at 25 and McBride or Ayayi at 32.
They were coy with the IQ pick, but we knew they were in love with Obi as well.
The way he said “uhh… yeah… it was a surprise… but uh ya know… I’m extremely blessed to be here.”
They kicked them down the road for a trade.
The Knicks were all over Grimes and they got him at 25 instead of 21

I'm not so sure they couldn't have gotten him at the top of the second round. Maybe that was the plan until their targets kept getting taken.
But the media called this and called their interest in Duarte and Co.
I want Day'Ron Sharpe! Give me a beast on the boards and an excellent passer from the post.

They are using that 32nd pick on Boston if he is there

Or Deuce McBride
Murphy. They’ve been on him December with that first pick. Once he was gone they decided to trade.
Their plan since the end of the season has been to make a package for SGA or Dame, which is why once Murphy was gone they decided trading for a future pick was better.

Do you have sources that are telling you a trade is happening down the road or are you just making assumptions?

Damn.

Something kind of tells me that for some reason, maybe because that’s who I was hoping for and they both went just before and then suddenly the pick was traded. But who knows.

Murphy went #17. If they really wanted him, couldn't they have traded up given where he was selected?

They tried for the OKC pick and even Indys pick at 13

I know, but it just seems strange that 19 and 21 couldn't even move them up a few spots.
19 traded for a Non Lotto Hornets first.
21 traded down to 25 and future 2nd
25 was Quentin Grimes.
It'll probably be Boston.
good fricken call, Knicks trading 32 for 34 and 36
this is the best trade of the night lol
Best and most sensible trade of the night
