The knicks need a shooting guard whether its rj barret, culver, keldon johnson, or nick alexander walker you needs guys that can shoot ball. The knicks don't need another point guard we already have to many guards especially if we get irving in free agency would be wasted pick if we get another point guard.
You always draft the best player available. I'm not sold on Morant but if the front office feels he's the best player available (or Garland), they need to take him regardless of who's on the roster and who
might sign with the Knicks. You can always figure things out later. You never draft for need. That's how Portland passed on the GOAT.
Can't have bunch of point guards it not good thing to have and the knicks got 4 point guards in allen, frank, mudiay, and dsj. If the knicks get kyrie irving there is no point in getting garland or morant its wasted pick then. The knicks got 2 free agents shooting guard in 2020 tier and dotson so the knicks need to secure a shooting guard for the next 4 years.
The draft happens before free agency, so the Knicks won't know for sure if Kyrie will sign before the draft. You can't make roster decisions based on what
might happen in the future. It's far too risky.
Mudiay should not be resigned and won't be if we sign Kyrie or Kemba anyways. Kadeem is a non-factor, a third-string PG at best. Frank is not a point guard. So that leaves DSJ as the point guard of the future that's currently under contract. If you've drafted Morant/Garland and Kyrie signs, you can trade DSJ to fill other holes. And that leaves you with an All-NBA point guard and an understudy in Morant/Garland, not this crazy logjam you are describing.
