Leon better talk to Thibs about the offseason and tell him what he wants for his bench. I'm not hearing anymore of these 8 man rotations during the regular season. I want to see 9-10 or 11.

He's completely relaxed because he knows the Knicks aren't picking a single one of these kids he doesn't want anyway

Leonard Miller we buy a pick in the 20's.

Emoni Bates end of second round or post draft. Let's roll the dice.

Leonard Miller is currently undervalued in this draft. Love this prospect.

He is going top 15 right now.

Just to use one mock as an example
https://nbadraft.theringer.com/mock-draft
going 12 there.

It's frustrating because you know how you get Leonard Miller. You draft him last year and make a late 1st round commitment. I would have absolutely rolled the dice and had him play in the G league this year for us.

Emoni comes off as such a major tool though. We have mostly a really good culture going right now. I think it's a better idea to keep guys like this away from our team

Probably not realistic, but would love to find a way….

multiple scouts have said the best player at the combine is Amari Bailey. Transitioning into a fulltime point while being a point of attach defender, watch his name going to start moving up faster in the boards.

from the way he moves to his shot form he reminds me so much of Kawhi Leonard.

Randle, a future first and IQ for Grant and their top3 pick (we can add a protected 1st or two swaps if needed)

Nurkic
Randle
Simmons
Quickley
Lillard

Mitch and a pick for Turner, Barrett for Mikal… and Grimes, Fournier and Rose plus 3-4 picks for Beal or someone similar if a good fit becomes available (though I would give Grimes a chance at least one more year to develop further…)

Turner / i.Hart / Sims
Grant / Toppin / Veteran
Mikal / j.Hart / Fournier
Grimes / Di Vincenco / Draft
Brunson / McBride / Rose

Rose and Fournier as a trade chips when the last piece to add becomes available, or for a quality bench player along with picks! The Knicks havent been in a better situation since mid 90s

Coach: Jay Wright (wishfull thinking)

Randle, Grimes, IQ, iHart to POR for Nurk, Sharpe, #3

I have Grimes as a proven starter so currently > Sharpe

Meanwhile Portland trots out:
iHart-Randle-Grimes-IQ-Dame
proven lineup with some good durability. They will need to add to back up pg and C, but this group seems good.
Meanwhile, we take a step back to leap up in a year or so
Mitch-Toppin-Hart-RJ-Brunson with Sharp, rookie, Nurk, Deuce, and that point guard import (unless he becomes part of the deal).

I think Cam whitmore is going to be a star and I been saying that for months.

Major Tool, Trex arm length, and is fundamentally horrible...hard pass.

Intriguing prospect here

Watch on YouTube

Reminds me of Jarred Vanderbilt. He’s the type of long athletic forward we don’t have that we could have used to put on Jimmy Butler in the Heat series.
