For some reason this fan base isn't seeing this. Add in keeping Lee and KP is up for a super extension soon and you're cap strapped considering the cap isn't likely to move much the next few seasons.

Our team is basically KP, Willy, Noah, Lee, Timmy, Frank and Baker going forward.

That's depressing as f*ck

I'm down with us pushing for Zhou. Built like a twig, but looked really fluid for a big guy. #teamyoungwingspan

You do know that it was at that very moment when we were awarded the pick we used to get Porzingis. Any higher and we would have been stuck with Okafor or Russel, any lower and we would have missed out on KP....Not really a good pick to use to crucify the man

I'm all-in on Qi. We should get both Hartenstein and Qi, but I would slam the phone down on any deal without Qi.

They are not giving up Zhou, wtf people..

Rockets are still pretty big in Chinese market, and now they might have actual Chinese guy who can play for them again..

You guys are so hung up on positions. You are the position that you can defend. Hardaway, Lee and Frank can all defend SFs better than we did last year. The Warriors play Clark, Curry and Livingston with Iguodala and Green at times. Forget positions.

Yeah prolly wishful thinking, they rather keep Qi than get 35 years old Melo

But CP3 Harden Melo is like USA Dream Team Edition Rox man

How is that depressing asf, bro? You're delusional. The team has more young talent than it's had since you were in diapers. Lee is more than moveable. 3 more years for Noah will fly by as the Knicks rebuild and grow from within. Stop making it sound like the team is doomed when they're in a great spot.

Let's see how depressed you are next year when these kids are looking good running the floor, sharing the ball and playing some defense.

Frank is not an automatic to start. He didn't start for his team in France either, remember he's only 18. Lee and THJ can toss the ball around to the bigs and score some.

Frank, Baker and Dotson off the bench prob.


I'd be surprised if Frank doesn't start. He's played against grown men and already started in a championship game in Europe.


Off the bench though. But then again KP started right away, so you can be right.

Dude...we're the Knicks. We're not THAT lucky. We haven't won the draft since 85' over 30 years ago. We could have won 1 game and still wouldn't pick first.
