NFT: NBA Draft - Knicks Edition

robbieballs2003 : 7/29/2021 9:54 am
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.

or nothing. They had a couple of guys they liked, and when they were gone, they dumped the picks, even for crappy returns. Seems too harsh.

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.
But this team needs depth...

I get not wanting to bring in 4 players during the draft, but at the same time, they still need players.

Give me Butler at 25 and McBride or Ayayi at 32.
They've  
AcidTest : 7/29/2021 10:37 pm : link
got some options with Butler, McBride, or Cooper, but they'll probably trade the pick for a second in 2030.
Created a little nore cap space  
nygiants16 : 7/29/2021 10:37 pm : link
gave them a little more maneuverability with how they can trade their picks..
Man, the media was ALL over the Knicks interest in Grimes  
Anakim : 7/29/2021 10:38 pm : link
And they were all over the interest in Duarte, Murphy, among others. Leon Rose and World Wide Wes have loose lips.

They were coy with the IQ pick, but we knew they were in love with Obi as well.
Davion does not seem pumped about Sacramento lol  
Leg of Theismann : 7/29/2021 10:41 pm : link
Can’t blame him.

The way he said “uhh… yeah… it was a surprise… but uh ya know… I’m extremely blessed to be here.”
Grimes is an excellent fit

No way the Knicks actually use the picks  
larryflower37 : 7/29/2021 10:41 pm : link
They acquired.
They kicked them down the road for a trade.
The Knicks were all over Grimes and they got him at 25 instead of 21
Grimes, nice!  
bceagle05 : 7/29/2021 10:43 pm : link
Some nice options will be available at #32 as well.

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.

They are using that 32nd pick on Boston if he is there
Have to say I was hoping Cam Thomas  
Leg of Theismann : 7/29/2021 10:45 pm : link
He’s a walking bucket. But I trust the Grimes pick.
Cooper/Butler/Springer/Thomas/Deuce/Bones still around.  
bceagle05 : 7/29/2021 10:46 pm : link
Let’s get one.
Oh yeah, Boston.  
bceagle05 : 7/29/2021 10:46 pm : link
Forgot the obligatory Kentucky pick.
Grimes dominated the combine scrimmages  
nygiants16 : 7/29/2021 10:48 pm : link
added a lot to his game when he got to Houston

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

Or Deuce McBride
I wonder if the Knicks were targeting Mann and/or Murphy at #19  
Leg of Theismann : 7/29/2021 10:52 pm : link
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. 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.
Someone on Twitter said Adam Silver

Damn.
Cam Thomas is really only a scorer  
Anakim : 7/29/2021 10:57 pm : link
How is he going to fit in with freakin' Durant, Harden and Kyrie?
Welp free agency in a couple of days

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

I know, but it just seems strange that 19 and 21 couldn't even move them up a few spots.
could someone summarize what happened tonight?

even from the regular news sources it's not clear to me.

19 traded for a Non Lotto Hornets first.

21 traded down to 25 and future 2nd

25 was Quentin Grimes.
I like  
Jon in NYC : 7/29/2021 11:12 pm : link
Grimes. Basically a worse creating, better defending Duarte.
Would love  
Jon in NYC : 7/29/2021 11:13 pm : link
McBride here at 32 if the Wiz dont take him
Cooper/Butler/Deuce still on the board.  
bceagle05 : 7/29/2021 11:14 pm : link
Hope we take one of them over BJ Boston.
Either McBride  
Jon in NYC : 7/29/2021 11:14 pm : link
or Butler. Maybe Cooper. A good opportunity to get a quality backup PG.

It'll probably be Boston.
Wiz take Isaiah Todd.  
bceagle05 : 7/29/2021 11:16 pm : link
.
I would love it if the Knicks trade their late 2nd and a future 2nd  
robbieballs2003 : 7/29/2021 11:17 pm : link
So we can get both Cooper and McBride.
Somebody  
AcidTest : 7/29/2021 11:18 pm : link
mentioned Boston from Kentucky as the probable pick.
Lol  
Jon in NYC : 7/29/2021 11:21 pm : link
