We'd be a finals contender year 1 with Kyrie/KP/Frank/Knox/2019 top 5 pick


IDK about Finals contender. Most of our guys have never even played in a playoff game before. We'd need to take our lumps for about a year or two before things came together for us.

Musa was an equal rival to Doncic when they were 15.


Really? Damn. How much hype does he have overseas?



i swear a saw a tweet last week that somebody guaranteed him late in the first. ill see if i can find it. ive read a lot of good things about him though. think hes outta reach even though nbadraftnet has him falling to us. id be excited if we could snag him.
There's something about an underdog that really inspires the unexceptional.

So if he's still on the board when the Knicks go on the clock, we have 5 minutes before we pick to work him out and see if he "checks out physically." That seems...challenging.

:crazy:

Or are you saying we should pick him and then work him out to see if he checks out physically? That seems...backwards.

:crazy:


By the way, I would love to take Porter Jr. at #9 if he falls to us, but I'm just confused by your post.


I was confused as well. Not sure if I'd take Porter over Knox right now though. This just has Gallinari written all over it.

you try to trade Porter to the kings apparently

if he's there at 9 they save a ton of cash

assuming they picked Luca or we really want Bagley

Kyrie such a clutch alpha. Would depend on how KP recovers from ACL, but that duo is elite on so many levels.

His defense tho...

I do think the offense could translate and could see him successfully be a microwave sub type player. The Euro Lou Williams.


That production is good value for a pick in the late teens IMO.

The 1% chance that this is just the beginning is what’s got me all hot and bothered :lol:

doesn't this guy have severe back issues?

Bro you know I'm a huge Kyrie fan. To watch that man in a Knicks jersey would be a dream. I just don't see it all coming together like that in year 1 though. But it would be so fun watching them

Just like his boxing analysis his basketball analysis is on point :nod:

Wendell is going to be a star, and he's going to prove you wrong for saying he is the 4th best big in this draft.
