THE LOTTERY THREAD - Knicks pick 8th

[moocow007]

Lebron is so leaving the Cavs for Danillo and Curry

People act like Mo Pete, Delonte "My fifth team" West, Wally World, Sideshow Bob, and Big Z are a formidable team that a superstar would run to.

Never under estimate the power of the Sideshow!!

wat do people think bout derozan?

that doesn't matter. he aint leavin if they win the championship.

I'm not saying he is. I'm just saying, I can't stand people acting like Wilson Chandler and Danilo don't have an upside far beyond anyone on the Cavs.

Mo Williams I think you meant

Offer the pick to Utah in exchange for next year's #1.

Good talent but seems like a screw is loose somewhere and defensively he's mediocre. Worse 3pt shot than T-Will but does have a nose for the ball around the basket and good finisher.

i guess earl clark wouldnt be bad we would have a big line-up with chandler-clark-gallo, which would could cause problems to opposing teams

hopefully chandler improves his handling during the offseason

Clark probably is better in the backcourt (if that's what you're thinking). Clark can handle the ball with either hand, is a strong defender and had terrific feel for where his teammates are. The biggest knock against him is that he has a tendency of fading into the background and relying on his physical skills rather than taking over games like he should be able to do. In the NBA, that's a big concern and why a lot of teams don't have him as high as he should. When you take a look at the physical tools, the skills and the upside he's probably top 5.

Seriously Im so pissed. no one good is going to be available.

Jennings will be GONE
Evans will be GONE
Harden will be GONE

That's why Clark is the pic. Worry about everything else later. Get the most skilled, versatile two-way athlete... and lick our wounds with tail between the legs.

Seriously if we draft Curry I hope Pringles becomes the new Escapegoat.

I like Clark decently...but I think I go Evans right now.

No way does Evans slip by Golden State.

Evans is the PERFECT guard to play next to Monta Ellis. Plus it would allow Ellis to play SG.

Mo Williams I think you meant

Mo Williams got taken out of the game his last season with the Bucks because he was embarrassing himself against the Knicks...the Knicks! Mo Williams was an All-Star because of Lebron (why Lebron was the clear and obvious MVP even before the vote was official). Lebron likely would have been able to make Jamal Crawford and Zach Randolph and (if he played) Eddy Curry All-Stars if they were on the Cavs (a testament to how good Lebron is not how good the other players are).

Is it possible to trade the 8th + cash for Rubio?

That's where he was end of the draft early Mock last yr and very Early Mocks to start the season. Can't deny his physical tools he's the most polished player on both sides of the ball. He may not be the best at any particular skill but he's highly skilled at every skill. Just needs to find out what button needs to be pushed on him and making full use of his skill sets instead of cookie cuttering his talent like college systems tend to do.

But does Clark have the mental edge? I really don't know if he does.

[Jose7]

But does Clark have the mental edge? I really don't know if he does.

Clark has awesome versatility but does not play 6'9 if you know what I mean.

[TheBluest]

But does Clark have the mental edge? I really don't know if he does.

I think you could say this about plenty of players in this draft whether their mental deficiency is selfishness, IQ, motor, competitive spirit etc etc. And Just because you're strong mentally doesn't mean you're a good defender. I take a players strengths and measure them against the negatives and then compare. What I do know he isn't mentally weak or stupid enough not to play D and isn't limited in his skills to do so whereas others are and don't and will not have the skill sets to be good defenders.

Man Bluest is really still trying to convince people on Clark. He got Optimus on his side, which should tell us all something.

[Pharmcat]

i'll take clark if evans is gone

We need to be decent next year. Harrington should be trade bait.

Clark is too big and too skilled to pas up. We passed on McGee last year. Lets not pass on a talented big again this year.

[god shammgod]

you're all lying to yourself. you know we're taking curry. why are you even bothering thinking otherwise ? i for one am not setting myself up for disappointment. again.

Clark plays smaller than Nate.
