2019-2020 College/Draft thread (Part 4)

I love how that someone from the media tweets that the Knicks have L.Ball as their top PG or top player that people actually believe this like it's a fact. Do people really think anyone from any professional organization is gonna tell anyone in the media who their top player on their board is before the draft even gets started? It's just so ridiculous to think that anyone would be the dumb even anyone in the Knicks organization. We're most likely gonna be picking right around the 6 spot and you think the Knicks are gonna lose any leverage they would have to get Ball if he is actually their top ranked player? The NY media is a joke.

It’s complicated. There have always been leaks because there have always been politics and disgruntled Knicks employees. This isn’t like Mills Or Walsh where we are open with the plan, but I believe it.

The real question are 1) is this actionable news like the knicks have plan to move up for LaMelo 2) is this a smokescreen because while LaMelo might be the best talent they identified nearly as talentEd PG’s they can grab later.

What disgruntled Knicks employees that would even know what the GM's white board looks like? Not everyone in the front office knows what the Knicks draft plans are. Nobody would leak info like that to the media. The media just took the most logical choice which is that L.Ball is their top PG and everyone knows the Knicks need a PG and they ran with it. It's really just common sense but nobody would need a disgruntled employee to put that together. Even us fans could figure that out.

They’re reportedly firing three of their top execs..... so any of those guys.

The good about today's NBA is that a players weakness individually isnt necessarily a weakness in actual nba games, where he'd be deemed unplayable.

As bad as Trae's defense is for example, I'd easily take him over anything the Knicks have had since Ewing, and that includes drafted players free agent signing etc.

I would think if they know they're firing those guys then they wouldn't let them in on their draft plans since there's a good chance all of them get a job with another team.

I'd actually put a non-disgruntled KP without his brother Janis in a close race with Trae. I'm one of the very few, if any, that actually misses KP and what he brings on the court.
