Why?

You keep wanting to ignore the fact that we could've had both a pick last year and Brunson because it exposes the flaw in your argument that Leon and co. are playing 4d chess

Throwing away 1st round picks to dump contracts you just signed the year before when everybody knew they were bad is not praise worthy.


Stay miserable, we got a top 30 player for a lottery pick… and walked away with a couple more firsts. Not sure how that’s a bad move. Oh don’t forget the 2nd we got taken away for tampering, that probably makes the whole deal a bad deal…

I wish

He's a more athletic Hart

But we're not gonna do anything to get a draft pick, and he's not gonna go undrafted.

Like I said

You keep ignoring that if the FO were competent, we wouldn't need to trade that lottery pick in the first place. It wasn't either or, it could've been both

And those picks are heavily protected, and will turn into 2nd rounders

This blind faith y'all have in Leon and co. cause they nepotism'd their way into Brunson while showing complete ineptitude at roster construction for years is wild to me.

I’ll say this for Leon—at least this year I didn’t have to read through the annual 7-10 one-hundred page draft threads leading into the annual Knicks draft nothing burger.

It just costs money to get into the 2nd

There's legitimately no reason for us to not buy a 2nd round pick every year

It's honestly malpractice. Yeah, we're not getting a franchise guy in the 2nd, but if you could find one solid depth piece every 2 or 3 years, it's well worth it.

At least respect the fans and send that out early during the first round. However, the signs were there they didn’t work out anyone who is likely to go in either round. Obi tried to pressure them into a trade and they have no idea who would be worth trading him for. It sounds like they were lazy this draft.

Did we buy a pick already? Maybe we had a deal with some player who asked to be undrafted...
