Will the Knicks ever land a player like Klay Thompson in future drafts? Smh, that guy would be ace here. I love his game.

Just like a good football team you try to win when your QB on a small contract. We have Prozingis making 3 mil that won't last long. So now is the time we go for it. Here is what I would do. Try a 3 way trade. Lopez Calderon Grant K Oquinn and a first round pick and Hernandez from the Knicks.

Atlanta trade Teague and hard away 2 round pick
Philadelphia trade Ock and the 24th pick

Philly gets Grant Hardaway KOquinn first round from Knicks 2018 2 round from Atlanta Hernadez from Knicks

Atlanta Gets Lopez and 24th pick

Knicks get Teauge and Jahil Ock

Would you do it ?

huh

He's saying we trade JC, KOQ, Willy, Lopez, Grant, and a future 1st for Teague and Okafur in a 3-Team Trade.

He wants to know if people would do it.

--Mage

nah Phil will not trade Grant and Rolo. If AA opts in he will be traded

Watching yesterdays game showed that we need Rolo more than ever!

Bembry = John Salmons lite

Mccaw = terrance ross lite

Ahh okay. But KP can play SF too, just can't play SG. TBH, I like having a 7'3 guy will Klay's Skill set. :lol:

Call me nuts but if we sign Allen Crabbe, he can be almost as useful for us. Now before folk go off in a hissy, I mean being a net positive defender, credible scorer and willing passer as a second or third option. I think that's a more likely scenario than us drafting one. If we do end up with a high draft pick next year, I would like to see us spend it on a lottery grade point guard.

**** I want Dunn, the kid is going to be ridiculous. I would honestly take him #1. If the Sixers get him..

Simmons and Dunn would be nice...but Ingram and Dunn would be even better.

Bembry and McCaw have WAY better playmaking skills. Also, Bembry doesn't jab step 10x before making a move...every single time :lol:

Who's everyone's bust predictions?

Simmons. I just hate his game. Frankly having a hard time getting excited about any of the top draft picks.

Ingram is a nice kid and has a nice game but he was always slower than even the Duke bigs on the floor. He has a Wiggins-like game but doesn't have his athleticism. I want the kid to succeed but I think he's going to struggle just like Russell did because he's slow and can't get around people.

Hahah John Salmons that's a good one. I've watched close to 80 percent of Bembrya college games there's no way he's John Salmons. To me the best comparison is Evan Turner. Versatile big guard who isn't necessarily a shooter but is crafty in the mid range and near the basket. I do think Bembry can develop a jumper though because his form isn't as awkward as ETs.

McCaw is more raw than Bembry but he might have a little bit more potential. Might take him a little longer to adapt to the NBA game as sometimes it seems the college game moved too fast for him.

Maybe , but Allen Crabbe is a FA.

Could be Allan Houston lite

Bembry seems to be more of a SF, I like his game, I would pick him only becaus I haven't seen McGaw.

That said

A LOT of people like McGaw. He is a little younger, a little longer

Phil likes mature High IQ types, Bembry seems to fit that bill
