I feel like a lot of trades will be predicated on who's available when we pick. Given the nature of the draft, pre-draft trades only really happen if a team has a level of certainty regarding who will be available. Regardless, Sheppard needs a homerun tonight. I don't care what we do or who we draft as much as I care about it working out. I think it's safe to predict that regardless of who we pick, there will be a massive backlash on this board like there always is but how about we actually give whatever we do a chance before we jump to criticize? Just my 2 cents.

I could be wrong, but the vibe from management really seems to be “nothing to see here.” I think they’re not gonna do squat and I put it at about 80-85% that Beal is gone a year from now next July and we are left wondering how the FO could’ve been this stupid yet again. Possibility he could go somewhere at the deadline but I doubt it. Other than a sign and trade next July, we’re screwed.


Let me preface what I’m about to say is I confess to being an arrogant prick. At times.

I expect business as usual which is shocking jive and take the path of least resistance they’re really dunderheads and you can tell by the record overall over all these years.

I will be surprised if they do anything creative

I have no problem with Japanese people I think the translator of this particular talk to text feature has a problem with my dialect and the way I annunciate…
E annunciate

I said enunciate which means articulate

Knicks are in a weird position. Lots of cap room and not a lot of top-tier FAs.

Now, if they were in it for the long-haul, they would take on contracts and assets (IMO).

NY is picking #19. Why would we want a trade down? Maybe if we stockpile 2023 draft picks….

Are you really asking why we would want to trade down 4 spots to get 1 or more extra picks in this incredibly deep draft?

That's why. If we got 19 & 21 for 15, I'd be delirious with joy!
If we got 19 & 32 for 15, I'd be absolutely delighted!
If we got 21, 32 & 58 for 15, I'd think we got an outstanding deal.
If we got 21 & 32 for 15, I'd be more than satisfied.

Please Tommy, make one of these trades happen!!

Turning this years pick into soon to be 34 year old Joe Ingles would be a typical Ernie move.

So this. And add purchasing another 2nd round pick to the mix. We have plenty of open slots to take on 3 rookies and a FA - that even if we resign Mathews.

G: Wesbrook/Beal/(Mathews)/??/??
F: Bertans/Hachimura/Avdija/Hutchison/Gill/??
C: Gafford/Bryant/??

I hope Tommy knows this as well and it is in more the "how" to make it happen than the "if" he wants to make it happen.

Ok, I want Pif making our trades today and Dat making our picks. But both have to clear everything with Doc. Tommy can take the night off.

I had no idea he was that old. Statistically, he had easily his best year - both in production and efficiency.
