All my friends (Knick haters) knows Timmy for his shooting & rookie/sophmore game. Think he's nice & that we keep trading away talent like "we always do".

well grant is also 23 years old. Porzingis was obviously picked as a high potential high ceiling pick.

I look at it like this.

Would you rather have a Porzingis/Grant draft

or

Mudiay/Looney draft

I think I would rather have the former by a long shot. Grant seems like he can do a lot of what Mudiay can do.


Grant and Mudiay are just different players. But yeah I'd rather have the Porzingis/Grant draft but then again I was high on Grant. And I'd rather have the Porzingis/Grant draft more than Mudiay/WCS or Kaminsky.

But Mudiay is a really good PnR player and he gets out on the break better than Grant does. They're just different players.

I have a hard time seeing him come back. Did they already give him word he was? He's atrocious defensively.

What was the last trade the Knicks won? Odds are against us, but right now we look like a winner in the THJ trade.
