I was shocked when i heard Jalen Rose say he's the kind of guy a team can draft to put him on the Lebron's and Durant's of the NBA. He said that about Knox and Mikal.

Didn’t the Bulls have the most access to MPJ and his medical records? If so and they pass on him at 7, I think that would speak volumes.



doesnt necessarily have anything to do with medicals. they just simply may prefer Carter.

Well I hope he improves. They asked him what is he working on and he said having the ball on a string and playing defense since you have to guard Lebron and the Kds.

Luka is going to be the Eastern Conference version of James Harden when it comes to the strip clubs.

No way Knicks pass on MPJR for Knox if he's on the board.

I posted here over a month ago saying that the Bulls loved Carter. That was from within the organization, too.

I personally never bought the MPJr hype just because he's a HORRIBLE fit in Chicago.

2 weeks into the season they will be calling him a bust,saying they can't believe they Knicks passed on Mikal for him.

If I remember correctly, the Knicks did not send their top scouts to MPJr's workout.

He might as well have agreed to go to Sacramento. I don't see how going to Atlanta really puts him in a better market


At least the fans in Sacramento care about their team.

Hawks are a much better organization though. Losing Bud is a loss for sure but at least they have a track record. Kings are the west coast Knicks but broke.


But the Kings could have been a nice squad with Luka though. They got some nice young pieces that could develop nicely over the years. Atlanta does too but I guess nobody wants to play in the 4th city in California that nobody even cares about :lol:

I figured that would be the case once they gave a draft promise to Chandler Hutchinson at 22.

But who knows, maybe it's just draft day misinformation.

I've heard that Michael Porter Jr may have to red-shirt his rookie season. Again, maybe it's misinformation.

I had Carter Jr going to the Bull in my Mock...

My Mock Lottery Draft 2018 (2018/06/18):
01. DeAndre Ayton (Suns)
02. Marvin Bagley III (Kings)
03. Mohammd Bamba (Hawks )
04. Luka Doncic (Grizzlies)
05. Jaren Jackson Jr (Mavericks)
06. Trae Young (Magic)
07. Wendell Carter Jr (Bulls)
08. Michael Porter Jr(Cavs)
09. Mikal Bridges (Knicks)
10. Kevin Knox (76ers)
11. Collin Sexton (Hornets)
12. Miles Bridges (Clippers)
13. Lonnie Walker (Clippers)
14. Shai Gilgous-Alexander (Nuggets)

It's possible Porter Jr drops further if the red-shirt thing is true. I don't know how Howard's trade from Hornets changes their draft pick.
It's hard being a Knicks fan...

Nothing like Porter Jr falling to the Cavs so they can get their hopes up after LeBron leaves, then be heartbroken when Porter is exposed.

Yes but thats just what was reported.
For example, Knox met with Knicks 3 times. All that was reported was a single 3on3 workout
