If we hand a handshake agreement that Russell is a Magician following this deal then absolutely.

Having a handshake in place is not guaranteed, because Brooklyn hasn't renounced his rights yet.

Knowing him since long time by the fact that it happens that I already played some ball with him during summer , Ntilikina is a decent floor general. A stronger , higher IQ Mcw. Great defender. Could thrive as a backup pg . Ny destroyed him . We should give him a chance. Fultz at this moment is no guarantee.

I would easily. 26 is only marginally better than 16 in terms of talent available.

Nothing is a guarantee but you still have to have some reason to believe this is a risk worth taking.

Even if he does have a low motor and can't play extended minutes, he and the other center we drafted with the same issues can split minutes and grow together.
Looks like he has a spider web suit on. Someone was wearing a blue suit but couldn't tell who it was.

They're gonna share the backcourt.

Rumor is Knicks trying to trade him for a 2nd rounder. We had serious interest at the deadline before Fultz deal happened. Another rumor is were trying to sell our pick. Fans saying trade the pick for Franky.

Walking away with Langford + Ntilikina is a huge infusion of athleticism into our backcourt.

Such a Orlando thing to do, but this is extremely buy-low scenario. If we could convert #46 into Frank I think it's a win especially considering Fultz is still a question Mark and we literally have no one backing up Augustine that isnt a FA.


why not take best offensive PG available at 46? We already have enough offensively challenged players on our team why add another?

word was that they were going to sell it.
You would still need to have the cap space.

Just trying to come up with what i THINK is the WeHams top 5 realistic rankings

1 - Bol Bol - Measurables are off the charts, one of the few unicorns in the draft
2 - Keldon Johnson - Typical 3&D guy with long wingspan
3 - Romeo Langford
4 - NAW
5 - Bruno

When he's in the game, the momentum shifts drastically...I saw it all year at his UCF games. Opposing players freak out when they shoot and are intimidated by his giant presence.

Some former NBA players have said he should be the #1 pick in the draft.

Please, Orlando, don't wait on him with the second round pick...he'll be gone.

Won't see another player like him for 20 years. :nod:

definitely no homering here huh?

Fall will be lucky to be drafted, and even luckier if hes in the league in 3 years. I wouldnt even draft him with the 60th

Surely not to draft a PG. You have to wonder if they know something about NY's selection.
