It'd be nice if the Knicks could trade picks with some team in order to grab two players in the first round. This is a team that needs to literally rebuild a roster from almost scratch. Be as it may, it might be in the Knicks best interest to take the BEST player available especially since it has been VERY difficult to find a second complimentary scorer alongside Melo.
And for the sake of argument, let's say the Knicks get a bonfide talent via free agency, what can it hurt to have 3 top talents that can spread the floor?
Chad Ford keeps going off about how Porzingis is the best slice in town. Yet, haven't we all heard this SAME talk about "the next Dirk" when Bargnani was entering the draft?
I just hope the Knicks don't overthink this.
What scares me is the possibility of Phil looking for triangle guy and NOT best talent out there. When you draft in the top 5, it should be talent FIRST. The Knicks NEED another big talent alongside Melo and if you can get one on a rookie salary, it's cost effective.
Whoever the Knicks sign in the off-season will try to rob them. So I prefer the idea of drafting youth, then trying to sign FAs to a one year big deal because the Knicks don't have a pick next season.
