You have to add Mudaiy to that list

So this morning I woke up and I have Towns over Okafor. I bet I'll change my mind 1000 times between now and the draft. I just think Towns is more versatile offensively and way better defensively.

If Sixers get the number 1 pick they are more than likely taking Mudiay...no reason for them to take Towns or Okafor so you have to think if the Knicks want one of them they need to be 2 or 3

As of right now maybe it is best if the knicks can get the 3rd pick in the draft. That way they can just choose whoever is available among Okafor, Towns, or Mudiay.

Knicks sbould try to get another pick even if it's a second round pick. If we can get Mudaiy we can just get a defensive bean to play next to Monroe.

I don't think it works that way. I think everyone just chooses the best available, then they draft based on need later in the round depending on available talent.

So if Okafor is the consensus number 1 pick and the Sixers get #1, that's who they're drafting or they can use that pick in a very nice trade.

It would be stupid for them to draft Okafor, they have 2 big men already they drafted high, they need guards now...Mudiay is a great fit for them...

They can get a proven guard and some more draft picks in a trade. A number one pick is quick the leverage. Everyone is going want that center.

We need a PG that can drive and attack the basket. They're times where our offense is stagnant and force up bad shot because nobody can get to the basket. Mudiay fits that role for us. One of the reason we won games with jeremy lin was because of his driving ability. A PG driving to basket will create a lot of open looks for everyone

St John's ranked 24!!!!!

This team is a real fun to watch, for those that actually still care.

If we get the first pick and the 76ers get the second, who thinks they'd be desperate enough to give up MCW to swap.

No no no no no

If we go on some fluke streak and end up with like the 5th or 6th pick, I'd trade it for MCW.

No MCW

I'd do it.

You'd get MCW and Okafor.

Eats a little bit of cap space but it shouldn't hurt us that much in FA

That said no way in hell the sixers trade the 2nd pick plus MCW to get mudiay

Phil definitely didnt work any magic. He took on Calderons 3 year over 7mil contract and gave up Chandlers expiring. We got fleeced in that deal.

You forget they Ray Fat Felton and his 2 year deal was also sent to Dallas. Calderon's extra year is bot so bad. Plus did we not get the 2nd rounders that got us Cleanthony and thanasis.

I didnt forget, we gave up the best piece in the deal being Chandlers expiring and took back the worst piece in Calderons 3y over 7m per deal. Feltons deal was around 3.5m for 2 years, it would have been an expiring deal next season. Not only is it half the salary of Calderons it would have been easy to dump being an expiring and at that salary. Now we may be stuck with Calderons cap hold for another couple of years. We also could have really got something for Chandler in my opinion. Not just a 2nd rounder in Early who im not high on at all. We also bought the pick we used for Thanasis if im not mistaken.

No we bought the pick for that French guy

Reggie Jackson... trade for him or throw that money dance and hope OKC. doesn't match... Knicks. Seems like forever we have just been playing half court ball on both sides of the court. While teams are running up and down on us.. blowing us out.

Whoa!! Great...Lavin got them playing hard...really like Pointer, Obepka and Jordan. Pointer Remind me of Thanasis... it's strange because they actually had more talent last year... but played with brain farts last year.
Also R.Jordan better stay next year or he is going to end up getting pick in the 2nd round and in the DLeague.
