I'm all for drafting Ball, but can we hire a legit shooting coach to fix his janky shot

Look at what Fred Vinson has done for Lonzo

Leon’s bringing Lavar onto the staff.

Knicks making a play for LaMelo always made a lot of sense. Not sure Chad Ford has any sources other then just putting 1+1 = 2 together.

Would love to get LaMelo somehow, but def not trading next years pick unprotected. Cade looks like the real deal, and some other intriguing prospects.

So since it’s Chad Ford..... we’re now clearly not getting LaMelo

^ That is some good reporting. The tweet took his speculation and made it seem like he had sources. Ford didn’t say he had sources and clearly states that this is a guess.

I mean if you look at it it says “could be a team” which basically means nothing but who cares. Speak it into existence Ford

He called Lonzo. To LA. And NyC is best fit. Turn the team loose.

Would be the best core piece we could sign through free agency, just need to find a dumping ground for Randle. Make it happen Rose. Add a sniper wing to the mix and we got something

What would you think about trading for Myles Turner for our PF spot? I saw something somewhere that he could be on the trade block. He can shoot the 3 ball, is good around the basket and blocks shots.

PG--Cole Anthony
SG--RJ Barrett
SF--A.Nesmith/K.Knox
PF--M.Turner
C---M.Robinson

If we can't get Nesmith with thta Clippers pick then maybe go defense with Patrick Williams (FSU) or S.Bey, T.Bey or go all in and use the Clippers pick and more to trade up for Deni Adija, Isaac Okoro, Jaden McDaniels. Unless K.Knox can take that next step and take the starting SF spot.

It really depends on what the cost would be to get him. If the asking price is something reasonable then he could be a guy we target but we can sign Wood for simply cap space and save those assets for a wing upgrade if possible.

I somehow forgot to name my favorite PF out there that i want the Knicks to get in Lauri Markkanen. That's my top choice if we had that choice. I like Wood but not sure if he was just a guy that was producing on a bad team more then he is a guy that can produce like he would be needed to when actually having good players around him.

Knicks trading up for LaMelo will be remembered like the Sixers trading up for Fultz. Maybe worse.

The only thing I find reassuring about this rumor is that Chad Ford reported it.

Can Barrett get in on those shooting lessons as well?

yep, we need a top-notch shooting coach

add Frank to the list too; he's a reliable 3 ball away from being a valuable rotation player on any team

Thats what I fear: Knicks trade up to get LaMello. Especially if would cost us our own FRP.

If costs us a Dallas unprotected pick, I could live with it. But I think it will cost us more.

I hope LaMello drops to third. And the team with third pick does not need PG. And we can trade up on discount.

Just because Lonzo fixes his shot doesn’t mean that LaMelo will fix his. Just because they’re brothers? lol

Meh... Even if he doesn't which I think he will.. his passing alone is enough for me to justify drafting him
