Am the only one happy! 

Post#1 » by bleedblue3303 » Wed May 20, 2015 1:27 am

Wasn't sold on Towns as the next anthony Davis or oak with his zero defensive game! Mudiay is a potential beast ROY many year all star potential!! How am I the only one who sees that!! Hell i would even be intrigued by Super Mario as 6'8" best shooter in this draft!! Ask bogut, olawakandi, Oden and kwame brown. If the big guy at the #1 pick is always the right way to go!!!

Yes you are probably the only one happy, im sure the rest are somewhere drunk and still in shock of what has just occurred.

Towns, Okafor, Mudiay, Russell as long as we walk away with one on draft night im happy.

I'm happy. I expected to fall to 5. Glad I kept my wits about me and didn't drink kool aid.

Now it's time to shut up. Draft our guard. And have a dynamic back court of Gallo and pick and shved

I'm not "happy", but I'm OK with anyone in the top 4. I think it could work out.

I agree that Mudiay has star potential, but russell =(

I wanted top 3 but at least we didn't go 5th. Would have been dreadful.

karlito was my 1st option but i'm not disappointed because the Knicks are still in a good position to get mudiay, russell, or kaminsky whose my personal favorite as many already know and a sleeper.

I get it, I really do. There is a bit of relief to me that they won't be forced into taking Okafor with the 2nd (just my opinion Jahlil fans, for whatever reason I wasn't super high on him), and I will be excited with Russell or Mudiay, with the latter making me extremely happy...

...it just sucks in the moment because you've had your options cut down AND someone else took a higher spot at - very specifically - our expense. We "fell" to get to this spot.

Not "happy," but relieved it was not 5th.

May be a blessing in disguise. Looks like a guard or Sf will have more star potential than the two semi-stiffs

Are options are limited and we fell by two spots. Nothing to be happy at all about.

People were expecting big things this lottery and we failed. Ya I am okay with the pick but I am not happy at all. We have to now come to terms with what we have and move from there. Only the **** Knicks can have the second worst record and still get pick number 4. Unbelievable.

Worst record: 1st pick
3rd worst record: 3rd pick
2nd worst record: 4th pick

Yes, you're the only one.

I used to be naive too.

Then I realized the Knicks are the Knicks and Dolan will always be negative karma.

I'm just happy we may actually get a guard. Hopefully we get a big in free agency. I'm tired of having these bum guards all the time.
