We're the only team that didn't hold its spot in the lottery. The failure of this Phil Jackson move and the Donnie Walsh deja vu is incredible. Hmmm, we're not so attractive saying to free agents we've got the number 4 pick. Phil's arrogance is being punished here. Yeah us. We're always going to come up short. Trying to get out the lottery with untested point guards. Eeek.

You guys are such babies. Yes the boogieman basketball gods F'd us. If and when Mudiay or whoever we pick does well, everyone who is bitching will be the first ones on the bandwagon. Only in NY can the fans be upset at a top 4 selection and a chance at a fantastic PG prospect in an age where guards are dominant. Guess who else were number 4 picks over the past 10ish years: Bosh, Paul, Westbrook, Conley. Relax, jesus.

Right, except mudiay has to be the guard that went to china and got hurt as opposed to russell who showed out at ohio state every few days. With the 3rd pick we'd have so much more control right now. I don't know what to think of mudiay outside of some highlights and the hype. I'll have to go find as much tape on him as possible. As of right now I have no interest in winslow really.

2 top bigs very likely to go 1 and 2. So it's not that crazy for Philly to pick someone else over Russell.

I'm totally fine with any of the top four and I've been saying that for a long time. But what worries me is that we didn't go to China to see Mudiay play. If we take WCS over Russell or Mudiay, I'm gonna flip..

Those stupid stupid wins at the end of the season cost us an unbelievable amount of equity in this lottery.

We have our coach to blame for that.

Honestly, the only thing that has me legitimately upset is

* #1 overall pick Lebron James is born and raised in Ohio; Cleveland Cavaliers win lottery.
* #1 overall pick Derrick Rose is born and raised in Chicago; Chicago Bulls win lottery.
* #1 overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns is born and raised in NJ; Knicks get 4th pick.

It just felt right.

mudiay highlights on repeat.

If we're pissed, imagined Towns and Okafor. They wanted NY. But whatever, our options are wide open now. Not all top 3 are going to be HOF players, never.
Now we can trade get WCS or someone and get a 2016 as well. Also anyone can drop. Also we can still get Justice or you boy from Euro.

I'm good with pick #4. Today is a joyous day for us. The stage is set for my sig to come to fruition!

Lakers can rock the boat if they indeed choose Mudiay over Okafor.

The Lakers aren't gonna pass on a franchise big for a small. We'll see in a lil over a month tho.

Those motherfckers always get that franchise big.

Manny would have been pushing for one of the top 2 spots if he played in college. This is a blessing in disguise. Remember how great the Kidd and Pablo lead offense was. We're going to be able to have similar ball movement with guys that are 13 years younger. This is an exciting time to be a Knicks fan. I can't wait to have 2 pitbulls on the perimeter making guys scared to dribble.

1. Take Russell if he's there.
2. If not, Take Mudiay
3. If they trade the **** pick, I'm gonna just watch the Rangers all season.
4. If they take someone else, I'm gonna find Dolan and do this this to him thirty straight times

Who does Mudiay resemble in the NBA?

melomax · Post #16619 » by **melomax** » Wed May 20, 2015 1:24 am

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LOSING OUT ON OKAFOR/TOWNS

it has everything to do with

NOT BEING ABLE TO PICK OUR #1 GUY.

HEZONJAAAAAAAAAA AND Mudiay will be sitting right in our laps? Awesome.

Been hyped on those two all season, not to mention you also got Winslow who could be like a Kawhi or Jimmy Butler?

We're more than good.

I like where you're going but you missed one of the best players that will be there for us in K.Porzingis.

I need to do my research on Porzingis, he's probably the only player I avoided looking video up on.
