[Sorry: genuine questions since I don't really know anything about any of them] Do you really like any of them? Obviously there's noone there with Mitch's upside. But, are any of them really better prospects than, eg, Simms?

Can someone explain why Pacome can't come? I mean you HAVE to have all the rosters spots filled and salary attached.

good luck with that bro

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

yup I didn't mean that negatively just that the knicks don't want the salary to hit the books. He is young and could use more seasoning anyway.

I’ll laugh if they just draft all euro stashes

He’s going to get paid above the minimum and waste money on the cap.

More importantly he’s better off playing regularly and working on his game overseas than bench warming for the Knicks.

Jesus. Every draft is this bizarre shyt. Draft a raw euro who doesn’t play defense to take up salary on the books? Nah, dudes gotta be getting traded

They not stashing him they could have traded out for all that. New young buck to root for yay.

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

I thought it was $17+ million per season.

What if we traded Mitch?

25th pick salary is 2.2mill roughly...so yeah, double 1.1mill minimum.

His salary would be a little more than the minimum (idk, not looking, 1.5m?). That can make a big difference to meeting the aprons etc.

Also, he needs to play at a higher level than Ulm. Yes, he was better there than the miserable Killian Hayes, but he's hella young and should be developing in Spain or the Adriatic League - and EuroCup (if possible) - play.

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

it is a little similar. both were top recruits of their hs class as well. lets see if collier will be able to live up to his potential and be what dsj was supposed to be

Just resign iHart and offer whatever to Precious. Pacman can eat dots overseas for another year.

we cash strapped.. we’ll trade him if he doesn’t agree to stay overseas for a bit and makes a stink about it

I think Bona and Mogbo are intriguing in their own ways, and would be perfect energy high motor bigs totally unlike Simms

They could but I doubt they would want to be literally at the hard cap wall. He just screams draft and stash,
