AJ Griffin is NOT the answer in this year's draft. Those damaged knees are going to give us all Antonio McDyess flashbacks.

Re: 2023 draft thread
The Knicks have their own pick, the Mavs pick top 10 protected. Detroit's & Washington's top 18 protected (or there abouts) - er, I think. I don't think we see Detroit's or Washington's picks till 2024 or 2025 or maybe 2026 for Washington.
Knicks traded their 2023 2nd, but they may have a few 2nds coming, and my god it gets confusing. Mavs, Jazz, Thunder, Wiz . . . but I can't make sense of it and not all of those might convey and one went to get the center drafted at #13 who the Pistons want so . . . it's a mess.
I think it's too soon. Lets wait and see if the Mavs are on pace to win 55 or 40, lets see if the Knicks are going to win 45 or 35, and I'm sure the 2nds will be cleared up eventually . . .
I can't wrap my head around a draft when there's this much range in where they might be picking.
A 2023 mock draft might be better.

Re: 2023 draft thread
Can we talk about which established veterans Leon will attempt to trade all of these picks to acquire as if his very employment depended on it?

I 100% get the criticism for Leon, but he traded a 2022 #11 pick for 3 future firsts, then he did a swap of 1sts and gave up 4 2nds to shed salary. The Knicks have 11 firsts and 11 2nds over the next 7 years. They're not dumping picks.
Now . . . future actions may change that, but for all Leon's flaws and unwillingness to do a full rebuild, has shown some respect for not giving away picks.

Do you know any teams willing to trade a future lotto protected pick, preferably for the eighth pick of this draft? Extra points if they convert into 2nds

Leon Rose absolutely sucks and he should have no business running an NBA team. President of the Knicks hiding away and giving once yearly interviews---absolutely idiotic. But since knick fans over the years have shown no opposition to whoever **** on them I guess it does not matter.
As for his overall performance up to this point: Straight F. All his contract extensions blew up in his face. Instead of sitting players and getting into the top 8 range last season and potentially ending up in the top 4, the Knicks again won meaningless games --dumping them to 11.
Again same plan for the summer: Trying to get Brunson so he'll solidify the Knicks at 35-40 wins, play in or 7-8th seed while other bottom dwellers will win 25 games and have a cornerstone franchise player 1 year from now.
The whole Knick organization is utter trash. Those imbeciles prefer to be utter **** for 20 straight years and lie and try to deceive their sheep fans instead of rebuilding fully and walking away with 1-2 franchise players.
I hope Brunson sticks with Dallas, just to make Rose look like the imbecile that he is.

Who gives a f*ck.
Knicks will trade out, blow out, or be in a position to draft mediocrity

Its never too early to hype up players we won't get in the draft. At least its something different to talk about.
