Lmao Towns and Okafor are going to tank their private workout with the Wolves.

Look for us to trade our #4 for Kobe.

Can you just tell me which PBP you are so we can rid you of your misery and ban you?

Could always pick Winslow. I think we'll trade down though. WCS and a #1 for next year.

im disappointed too but same for me.

starting to rationalize that this was a top 4 player draft and we will be getting one of them.

Honestly, this will be fine. I just really wanted one of the bigs. Mudiay and Russell both have potential to excel in this league. Hopefully, our pick (whatever is left) of the two ends up shutting ish down (4's a good spot of PGs right?). I'm cool... getting over missing out KAT/Okafor...

Might as well get C. WCS won't be a star but he has the potential to be one of the best defensively.

I'm not feeling Mudiay. Maybe he can Tyreke but I still rather have a C.

Lol. The Knicks had the worst record up until the last couple games of the season. They lost it and the team with the worst record ends up winning the 1st overall pick and they fall to 4th. The worst team almost never gets the first round pick (at least in recent drafts), until this draft.

You can't tell me that this isn't the worst NBA franchise in NBA history. Ran by the the worst owner and most incompetent front office members ever. Then you have the players and coach sabotaging everything by refusing to tank when they are truly awful.

I really don't know how long I can will myself to be a fan of this team.

I don't think I can do it until Dolan sells the team.
It's hard being a Knicks fan...

We can also hope that Kristaps Porzingis makes a massive jump in draft stock during the workouts.

Okafor is by far the riskiest player in the top 5 imo.

We ought to pray that the Porzingis rumors are true.

The same **** happened with the MVP. We had to win a meaningless game against the Wizards and we ended up with Jordan Hill. This **** has go to stop. PLEASE LET US GET RUSSELL :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

All indications have been that Philly wants Russell...I think we get Mudiay and I really like him for what few quality pieces we have.
PG- Haliburton | Schroder | Sasser
SG- Grimes | Dick | Bogdanovic
SF- Bridges | George
PF- Hunter |Strus| Fleming
C- Turner | Powell | Wiseman
