“It would be amazing. Especially because I’m from New York so if that happened, I’d be thrilled”

“I haven’t thought about it but it would definitely be special definitely to have MSG as my home”

"It's special, a special place to play. Everybody dreams of playing in this place, the bright lights, everybody watching. It's just a special place."

"Carmelo Anthony has been my favorite player so wherever he goes, I go. I think about that all the time. I would love to not only play with him but play for this organization, just because I'm from here. But whatever happens, happens. I can't control stuff like that."


You've been harping on this.

1. Kemba is from New York.

2. Second article is from just before the Big East Tournament held in MSG every year. He's being asked specifically about MSG and every player answers the exact same way.

Biyombo could actually be the worst player currently projected to go in the first round.

The love for Kanter and Biyombo is craziness Especially if Walker is on board when we pick.. Walker100% no doubt will be a better pro then those two scrubs, imo..

I have a feeling we're gonna see a lot of draft day moves from bc this year.

I have that feeling every year but BC does nothing. I'd love for BC to draft Knight then structure a deal around Bargs for Dally and the 7th pick (Biyombo).

But we know that BC tries his hardest to get something done. This year with the lockout looming we'll see some moves.
