Lol

[Luv those Knicks]

The Wiz just seem to be making random picks in the hope that they pay little salary and lose more games.

Starr was generally regarded as the top pick of the draft. George is a high upside pick - a good pick at 24.

Are they planning on being bad next year . . . probably, but I don't think they did badly this draft.

Meh. I’d need to be in their war room and know their plan before declaring them winners.

I said "don't think they did badly". I agree with your point. The Wiz have a lot to prove before they can be declared winners, though I think Starr saying no to Atlanta, helped them. (why is Washington OK but Atlanta is not? Can anyone shed some light on that??).

The Wiz are playing the Tankathon, plain and simple. They hope to draft enough good players to eventually win. It's a common strategy.

I'm old enough to remember knicks winning 25 games a year, trading and drafting like ****. So I'm not mad...

Where’s Channing Frye when you need him?

[KnickLeDime]

Bring Pacome over here, have him train with our staff. Still need to fill out roster spots so what's the difference?

Someone was talking about how 2nd round picks are more valuable than 1st rounders under the new CBA and how stupid the Knicks were for including them in trades so now they got 5 of them for a late first rounder in a weak draft it must mean they are smart...right? Right?

tbh, that looks like a fantastic trade, if you imagine you are going to be drafting 22-27 if you had your FRPs.

Brock made out like a bandit, afaics.

Well, it seems that all this maneuvering has saved the Knicks more than $3mil in cap space for this season which could be the difference between being hard capped or not if they do keep iHart while still being able to add all those super-duper valuable picks!!!

All kidding aside about the picks this was all about clearing cap space this season and adding a little future draft capital for a single pick in a purported weak draft. They still might add a couple of rooks from the 2nd round but we know they are long shots to see any floor time with this roster.

Completely agree. Seems like a really well done draft. Even screwed the Wiz out of the low 2nd round pick this year.

[NoLayupRule]

this is the 2nd Rose draft Ive watched only to see zero players join the team

basically the draft is an auto skip for us while leon is in office, we’re finally good again so i can’t be mad

I think that he he’s trying to keep as much cap space available as possible for this season.

totally

dont know how much it matters
we cant offer I hart more than 16 anyway

It still stings but every year we are desensitized more…..

I wonder was the Mikal and OG signings done to keep the fanbase from suffering?

You’ll be fine when we win 60 games this coming season.

He didn’t want to be statshed but he has no choice here. He needs to marinate anyway

What he wants and what the Knicks want are 2 different things.

If they really wasted a pick on this dude to NOT stash him I'm about to egg Leon tomorrow.

Fixed

Thought the same after seeing him. Creighton?

Stevens tripped on the second stair like Biden running to the phone.

“Don’t mind if I dooooo!”

we shouldve gotten collier

Read on Twitter

Why do you hate deeeeeeeez

nah fr im just a fan of collier. i think he has very high upside. but hes prob better off on a team like utah where they'll develop him versus here where he'll be on the bench racking up dnps

You have a type. He has some dsj predraft vibes

[Knick4Real]

Let’s hope all this draft shenanigans leads to Ihart coming back

That's exactly what this is about! They're trying to open up salary to bring back iHart and avoid the apron penalty.

Or, in other words, do you want iHart or do you want (fill in the blank) rookie tonight who won't play??

Or so HE thinks lol

[KnickLeDime]

I think it's telling as to what they think of Pacome that they drafted him while trading down and then out of 26th pick. They must really like him.

[stuporman]

Has any draft and stache ever played a meaningful role for the Knicks in their history let alone any significant minutes beyond a look-see? I can't think of one.
