Alexander probably shouldn't have thrown Kansas under the bus.

He would sign with us immediately.

Aaron Harrison is a sad panda

Wow, really bad advice for Wood and Alexander, cautionary tale stuff. Upshaw, who knows but I'd offer him a contract asap

Lol Steven A Smith going HAM on Phil Jackson on SC right now

Loved Minnesota getting Towns/Jones, Orlando taking Hezonja, Indy getting Turner/Young, Brooklyn getting RHJ and Houston getting Dekker/Harrell

Boston was really the only loser IMO. Maybe Utah.

Somehow getting Wood or Upshaw would lessen the sting of that miserable trade.

Yeah. Safe to say he's not a Porzingis fan.

Why do people still talk about that person?

Unlimited potential, Hakeem mixed with Kevin Durant.

Wasn't the Wolters deal consummated after the draft 2 years ago. Maybe more to come tonight or tomorrow, praying there is.

I would have taken Mudiay or traded back, but Knicks gon Knicks.

Would love to see Alexander, Mam, Treveon Graham get camp contracts.

Upshaw will be playing with the Lakers in Summer League

and selection.

With Wood we would find out who was more at fault for UNLV's miserable season, and we could just shun that guy and keep the other. Getting Wood would be like back dooring a late 1st, or at least early 2nd to me, for free. Definitely takes some sting away. I said pre-draft while I wasn't high on him either, I could see him becoming Henson with a mid-range jumper. That would give him better realistic upside than Vaughn to me.

I actually really like the Knicks draft

Mattya · Post #999 » by **Mattya** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 5:57 am

Knicks had a great draft. Any of the analysts criticizing their picks are dumb. That high in the draft you take a guy with the most potential, and Porzingis has as much potential as anyone in this draft. Getting Grant for Hardaway is just the icing on the cake. Feel bad for Porzingis though. Gotta suck getting booed as you first memory of the NBA. Also thought Miami and Denver had really nice luck with guys slipping in the draft.

AussieBuck · Post #1000 » by **AussieBuck** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 11:31 am

How the **** do you get a first for Hardaway? pouty **** who does nothing but shoot. He's an end of bench guy.
