Stop this nonsense. Just take the best talent. If Durant and no one else comes it helps this teams lack of talent, lack of an alpha, lack of offense. If Durant, etc do come talent will be a lot more desirable to depth for teams looking to trade quality vets.

Look man! Scott Perry and Mills think they slick. They really just getting to know mad players and forming relationships. Not just sitting on their ass like Phil.

The whole "trading down" thing is just click-bait. It doesn't even say Knicks want to trade down. I just says they are exploring it. I mean, who wouldn't "explore" that option? That's what management is supposed to do. Explore options and plan and be ready for certain scenarios.

To me, it's one of those "water is wet" articles.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder how much it would take to actually move up?

2019 #3, 2021, Dallas Picks? I still don't think that would do it either.

If you telegraph your pick at #3 you are basically inviting a team to trade up to #2 to snatch that guy lol

Makes no sense if kd + FA is coming.

I loveeeee cam's upside(i think its the highest in the draft after Bol) but he needs alot of time for development and that's just not something we have.

With kd possibly in tow this is a win now situation.

Do you think the Pelicans are "exploring" trading back from #1?

All of the rumors, possibilities, speculation and then people overreacting to them is part of what makes this process so much fun.
