To me, it's one of those "water is wet" articles.

Or they can stop trying to be cute. This is a 3 man draft, and this guy is going to be available
Worst case scenario is Ja Morant at 3.
I'll take Sexton, 5 and 23 for DSJ #3, and 55F N 11 wrote:isiah_thomas wrote:

THIS X 100!!!
As I just said on the general board, the article clearly says the KNICKS are "DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE" which is exactly what they're supposed to do. It does not say the KNICKS are GOING TO trade #3.
IF Memphis picks RJ, or IF Memphis trades the pick and some mystery team jumps ahead of us, the KNICKS are preparing Plan B,C,D,E, etc. for all scenarios -- just as they should.
Reading is fundamental, people!

#6 + Suns unprotected 2020 pick
That'd be nice, but I see it being protected. Kind of like the Dallas-Atlanta trade.

CAVS: Hey Scott, it's the Cavs. Say, we want your #3 pick and we think we have some nice assets to...

"Reports of trading up"
Just out of curiosity, I wonder how much it would take to actually move up?
2019 #3, 2021, Dallas Picks? I still don't think that would do it either.

It preserves cap space this season and allows them to continue to amass assets for any potential trade or increasing the pipeline of young players on cheap rookie contracts in case of future capped out seasons.
If the Knicks can move down and still pick someone like Culver/Garland while getting a top 3ish protected 1st. I think it's a better than 8 and 10 this draft considering the next couple of drafts should be stacked.
