Okafor landed in Philly and now they have 3 high-profile rookie bigs.....HInkie will have to trade one of those 3 right?

another website claims that the Knicks have invited Christian Woods to summer league. Don't know much about him.

It's because no one cares about the Magic. For better or for worse.

So pathetic that's how you treat someone with 13 rings. Then again Knicks fans are usually pathetic as we saw today

He's an idiot.

He rants before the guy even play a damn game. Even though almost every scout has said he has franchise potential.

Maybe If he porzingis get a dark tan, Stephen a would like him more.

Also Stanley Johnson is a role player. No star quality in him at all. I watch pac 12 games a lot living in Cali, his ceiling is a good role player starter.

That's what I want to know. I knew he'd take okafor if he was there, but you got to wonder what their next move is.

I wouldn't have been satisfied, if it was only Porzingis, but the Grant pick and the Hardaway trade made it a great draft.

He was going to do this regardless but I still don't know this prospect, is he good, did he get drafted?

The moron meant Stanley Johnson. Stanley Roberts is not a person.

Is so

false you have limited cash.

and cash doesn't get you into the top half of the 2nd round which this kid was going

bleh, i'm aware of the limits of spending for a 2nd round pick. my point was the knicks don't have to worry about spending, period. pick someone else, then. i don't think this kid was worth 2 future second rounders when we have limited future picks as it is.

Anyone know which 2nds they were? Were they ours? We got a bunch this past year from our trades. 2 with Shved. 1 for JR/Shump. May have been one or two of those.

I understand trust issues but to call 13x champ a bum is beyond pathetic and shows lack of class Knicks fans generally show

Rock Bottom · Post #2275 » by **Rock Bottom** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 7:33 am

Im starting to come around abit on Zinger as a knicks first choice pick..

some things i like are the rotation of the ball on his shot, he sets his feet, and most of all his attitude..

Like how he tea bags fools then picks them up like bros like in 1:43 of this video

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naiNypEtmhM[/youtube]

I can see why Phil likes him.. and would choose him..

For what it's worth, Porzings in his rookie season could at least be as good as Robert Horry was under Phil. It wouldn't surprise me if he is used in the same role.

I don't think Embiid ever plays for them. I think he's gonna milk that foot/back/leg/arm/chest injury till the contract is up, and then move on somewhere else.

And your troll attempts are all class, right?

Acting like a tool, reveals just how little class you have.

Oh dear...that wasn't very classy of me, was it?

Apparently you're not. Teams now have a total limit on cash they are allowed to spend in transactions per season.

There are two separate limits, one for the cash a team pays as part of trades each season, and the other for the cash a team receives as part of trades each season.

If either we had used our cash in transactions this season already, or they had received the limit of cash, then cash was not an option in this trade.

You don't know what you're talking about, so stop complaining.

...did I not just say I'm aware of the spending limits? It was reported before the draft that the knicks had not used up all cash transactions. They had the ability to buy a pick.

Do I have to make it any clearer? The pt is the knicks don't have to worry about cash, other trams do. Use that to your advantage instead of trading future picks of which you don't have many.

Post #2280 » by **mpharris36** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 11:31 am

i'm not sure you understand the buying pick process though. The top part of the 2nd round is very difficult to trade into because of the value. 1st round value with a 2nd round contract. Maybe we could of bought a 50-60 pick with cash. But not the 35th pick.

the nets traded two 2nd round picks for the 38th pick. If that doesn't tell you that the 2 future 2nds was the going value for that pick then I don't know what else would.
