Halliburton putting on a clinic

I still don’t understand how so many teams slept on Halliburton. They def overthought that one

Beat those Mavs!

we really said, no thanks to Haliburton - we're good, we have Elf.

stuporman · Post #1475 » by **stuporman** » Tue Apr 27, 2021 4:29 am

If the Knicks took Hali they are fighting for the top record in the east prove me wrong...

There is absolutely room for Hali, IQ and even Rose in the Knicks back court rotation as long as Elf is permabenched.

Even the most ardent Obi supporters should concede...it was a serious nepowhiff by Rose facks he gotta be better than that if he wants to take the next step.

Hindsight is 20/20, we got IQ... and we got 3 cracks at our own Haliburton this draft...let make them count.

To be fair, as far as PGs or 'facilitators', Lamelo and Hali may be a couple of the best if in this year's draft but some did have the foresight about taking them if presented the opportunity.....

....which would have allowed them to have 3 cracks at big guard/wing in this draft which it is more stacked with.

An IQ-HB back court would be mind altering for Knicks fans, we'd be having an out of body experience right about now. :lol:

Right but if spotting talent was a sure thing, we'd have Hali and SGA and Donovan Mitchell etc. Im cool with IQ and the 4th seed and whats to come around the corner. I get a feeling that we wont be thinking about missing on Haliburton at that point.

So you think the empty rhetoric of 'no sure thing' is a good enough excuse for you?

For the better part of two decades the Knicks didn't have high draft picks because they were too good or they traded them giving away like free candy.

More recently they have a spotty record of picking, developing and retaining talent in the draft which is the number one way to getting star talent affordably.

Without doing a better job in the draft the Knicks will be a treadmill team at best even in the east, relying on FAs with their fickleness and high salaries is a dicier proposition.

You are welcome to make and be satisfied with excuses, I'm just going still point out the obvious that as far as the risk of doing business of the draft or FA, the draft has better potential to improve the team.

I see no problem with taking note of how the Knicks are doing on it and a more specific emphasis on what the current regime has done.... or didn't do.
