Pacome Dadiet is the steal of the draft.

He's decent. He'll fit right in with them. Plays hard and can shoot.

tbh, that looks like a fantastic trade, if you imagine you are going to be drafting 22-27 if you had your FRPs.

Brock made out like a bandit, afaics.

Well, it seems that all this maneuvering has saved the Knicks more than $3mil in cap space for this season which could be the difference between being hard capped or not if they do keep iHart while still being able to add all those super-duper valuable picks!!!

All kidding aside about the picks this was all about clearing cap space this season and adding a little future draft capital for a single pick in a purported weak draft. They still might add a couple of rooks from the 2nd round but we know they are long shots to see any floor time with this roster.

basically the draft is an auto skip for us while leon is in office, we’re finally good again so i can’t be mad

I think that he’s trying to keep as much cap space available as possible for this season.

Do you think Denver covets mid 2nd rounders

Thank gawd. It was stupid staying up all night watching weird eruropeans getting drafted.

I think of you as a weird European fighting lions, tigers and bears in the Pacific Northwest.

It still stings but every year we are desensitized more….. :nonono:

I wonder was the Mikal and OG signings done to keep the fanbase from suffering?

We haven’t re-signed iHart

Also, even if we do, you need a 3rd big with Mitch missing half the season.

team is far from set.

No backcourt center
No front court depth
Need a backup playmaker (duce isn't a point guard)

I find you very persuasive. We are without a doubt doomed.

I'm old enough to remember knicks winning 25 games a year, trading and drafting like ****. So I'm not mad...
