2019-2020 College/Draft thread X [marks the spot] (Knicks own #8 pick, 11/18 DRAFT)

[RHODEY]

The only way I'm taking CP3 is if OKC hands over two firsts. CP3 still has value to a team on the cusp but they aren't getting a haul for him if they're trying to dump him to any old team. They better be prepared to pay up if they're calling MSG.

2 is a bit excessive. 1 is good enough for me. Oh, and they take Randle back.

So is 40 Million for an injury prone 35 yr old.

From ATL:

Cavs and Knicks have been in talks of a trade with Okoro being the target.

Any good info in this one?

Read on Twitter

The dreaded 3 on 3 and 1 on 1 workout.

Hopefully they had Steve Mills locked in a closet over at MSG Entertainment and someone slipped Perry a sleeping pill.

Nice.

Knicks going to burn a pick for Shumpert 2.0

Nah
Put Okoro on the Jimmy path

All kidding aside though, if Perrin and the junior whiz kid draft genius think he's the one, not unlike Perrin told Utah to move up for Mitchell, then why not. I guess.

Note: I'm not remotely comparing the playing styles or college careers of D. Mitchell and Okoro.

Also, I feel like the Atlanta guy is proposing every single possible scenario, so later he can talk about "how he called it", when he was wrong on 95% of everything, but got two trades right.

Then again ESPN built an entire industry on this behavior, so why not?

Why stop there? Why not put him on the Dwayne Wade path, since just comparing players makes them great? (While, obviously, disparaging them by comparison it totally accurate. )

Hawks guy saying we want okoro and are in talks with the cavs to get him.

I’d love it honestly.

To be fair, everyone is talking to everyone before the draft. A lot of discussions take place where the other side either isn't interested or the two sides can't agree on value. So good information can easily end up not happening... but that also makes it easy to make up plausible scenarios

I love Okoro. I know its a bigger risk with RJ shooting/Mitch if it doesn't develop. But man if the shooting gets respectable he is one of the most talented prospects in the draft.

He is also a thibs pick through and through. He wants his Deng/Butler player on the knicks.

Thats my feeling as well.
Everything is there but the shot right now.
If our player development staff thinks they could work with it, lets do it.

IF we are trying to get Okoro, I wonder what they have lined up for lead guard

[TheGreenArrow]

Someone called it before but I can definitely see this being the opening day lineup.

Cp3
Okoro
Rj
Melo
Mitch

That as I stated before could/would be very interesting!!!!!

No doubt it would be cp3.

That’s how Berman operates as well

That lineup is definitely solid if one of RJ or Okoro progress in shooting

DSJ, Okoro, RJ, Randle, Mitch
