Draft Thread #16 - UPDATE pg 75ish - Knicks inquiring about trade ups

[El Poochio]

i been away an hour, did we get mo bamba yet ?

We got no bamba

[CoolKids]

The Knicks do not want Bamba.

Clearly, they have been talking to Memphis and are very confident they can move up if necessary. Obviously, the target is Doncic.

Meeting with Bamba is simply them doing last minute due diligence in the event that Doncic is not on the board, but they want to know if they should still consider moving up at that point.

It's due diligence, nothing more.

Also, Bamba is overrated. He processes the game slowly, is a slow leaper, and his shooting is grossly overrated just because of his size. No thanks.

lol wildly innacurate

[dakomish23]

I haven't done enough scouting in the upper tier of this draft to be 100% sure but I probably would. I'm worried about reinjury. You?

In my besart of hearts I want both Doncic and Mikal. Them two with Frank and KP puts us in line with PHI & BOS for future of the East.

Replace KP with Bomba and does that lineup have the same ceiling? Idk. Very tough. KP to me is AD lite.

[Knicksfan20]

you gladly take parsons if it meant getting the 4th pick while still keeping the 9th.

How is that even plausible?

[spree8]

come on don't fall for the trade up BS, we are taking Mikal or Knox at 9 tomorrow and you all damn well know it

Getting Mikal is just as good. Knox tho? Not so much.

[NYKHardKnock]

Need moar rumors

[TruthBeTold]

Read on Twitter

If the Knicks can get the 4th pick and still hold on to their 9th pick, then I say GET IT DONE KNICKS!

I recommend Knicks front office view my mock draft before making final decisions.

Ayo, I think Memphis really takes this deal for THJR and scrubs straight up.

if tim gets traded on draft night again

lol doubt it. he doesnt save them much money and hes a year longer than Parsons.

what do you think though, you like Bamba more than Carter ?

ima die laughing if he did and if he's sitting in clydes wine and dine again watching the draft thats the icing on the cake but yeah i think bamba is the most unique player in the draft. would definitely be cool with moving up to get him

like you said though i doubt it happens

[dakomish23]

Was comparing contracts that have like a $10mil per year difference a syntax error, too?

Was expecting some posters to recognize that both have two years of dead money a mental error?

Thinking that contracts that are $10mil per year different are on the same level certainly was one.

Thinking that an expiring deal and two years of dead weight are on the same level is a 100x worse

[Mecca]

Imagine Kyrie surrounded by 3 all-nba defenders in Frank, KP, and Bamba??? And a 2019 top 5 pick.

[Reign23]

guys we are not getting 4 AND keep 9. be a little realistic...

Kevin Knox scouting report.

Repost and spread the word!

Also, I have an interview up there with Elie Okobo's teammate.

But are we targeting Mo to play with KP?
I’m not sure they’re a good fit.

Like I said, good problems (so far)

[NBA Fan 1234]

I need help! I am not seeing all this love for Kevin Knox. Show me a clip or two that would make me feel this offseason would be a success if we drafted Knox.

I just watched his highlight game vs WV. Man he was cherry picking most of the game and got a lot of phantom calls against WV. He did knock down a few threes that looked rushed, but what else can I point to that make me buy into this draft pick. How can he be considered to play center if he was always leaking out on a fast break?


I also watched his "workout" video with Givony where he didnt impress me there either.
He doesnt have the handles to compare to Tatum. Could you see him jamming it home on Lebron, I dont....he would probably try to lay it up.

I want to draft a guy with a motor and can play.
I would actually pick MJP over Knox even though I havent seen him play at all.

Uploading my strength/weakness video as we speak - should be up by 630. I have other prospects up as well and they all got great reviews from execs that I've sent them to (and former FO personnel like the one I got off the phone with 6 hours ago). I'll post it here and quote you, if you want to check it out?

Just saw the Mo Bamba/potential trade up news. Bamba has been my top target for a damn while, but figured it wasnt possible since we won too many games. Also saw some other news that Knicks will likely draft Mikal if we stay at 9, so thats also still good news.

Cant wait until tomorrow night.

[stuporman]

Who gets booed and who gets cheered by Knicks fans if picked? Just curious....

[Oscirus]

Im fine with taking parsons for the fourth pick, what Im not fine with is the stupidity of giving a superstar deal to move up 5 spots ( Salary relief, two lottery picks).

[SARGO127]

I’ve been away for three hours. What’s the rumor?

[King of Canada]

I hear the Grizzlies are interested in the rights to Milos Vujanic.

does he still have potential?

Potentially
