I think Danny Ainge did okay given his constraints.


:lol:



Danny Ainge had a "Donnie Walsh Knicks draft night" in that, the C's didn't get worse but they didn't necessarily get any better.

he will be in the final year of his contract at 12 million...


So are two of the players they received but the KEY is they got the #11 pick Domantas Sabonis. Basically they got a top pick for a salary swap. Genius!

Different GM, different approach...

I think they could have gotten a better return on Young but once in the draft, Marks did what he needed to do. I also like that he doesn't seem too concerned about the sunk cost of his lost draft picks. He's gonna make this team awful and just build his asset pool for a few years. It's the only choice he has, really.

Stylistically, yeah, he'd be kind of like those players. A guy who can play on the perimeter, shoot, good court vision, can rebound, has a good motor and is coachable. He just needs to develop an NBA body, much like KP.


If you Thon Maker is a Durant/Garnett hybrid... then, KP must be a Dream/Duncan hybrid.

Only, you know...better.

I swear man, it's sh*t like that which gives us Knicks fans a bad rap on GB & the rest of RGM.

Still early in his career, but he looks like a future stud.
