Wingo, just be honest and admit you haven't really watched the dude play outside of 1 or 2 youtube clips, lol.

[god shammgod]

isn't it kind of universal now that one of edwards/ lamelo are going 1 and the other 2. i don't think anyone is really expecting otherwise.

I don't understand what that has to do with anything? You know what, I don't even want the distraction with the dad. Besides, I like Halliburton.

[HEZI]

That Bulls documentary got me looking at Haliburton like the next Pippen. STFU I'm not calling him the next Pippen but I'm saying I can't get the thought out of my head about their similarities

Now that I think of it maybe Haliburton will be better as a wing player than lead guard, he's got those type of qualities.

Yo stop calling Haliburton Pippen

I saw this post coming, so my reply was already premade

By the way, let me live, this draft may never even happen and the closest thing I got to ball right now is that Last Dance doc. and college prospect videos. Longest offseason of my life

we gonna draft a PG and then opening night he's starting at SF and elfrid payton is still pg here we go again

at least with cole, perry miller and co. won't play him out of position

Lets get both

Cole
Haliburton
RJ
Wood (FA)
Robinson

I don't know how it happens but make it happen

It could happen. I could see Cole dropping from 17 to 27...He'd be a solid pick there - maybe.

That works. Doesn't matter how it happens

One thing is for certain though, Knicks aint drafting Killian Hayes because nobody got time for that

What if we end up picking 3rd and Edwards/lamelo are off the board? trade back for one of the PG”s or take wiseman?

I actually agree with you on that, I've seen the light, the knicks won't draft Hayes. They aren't drafting haliburton either. It's going to be lamelo or cole based on draft position, that's it

[robillionaire]

In that scenario I would think the knicks would try to trade back several spots to someone who wanted wiseman and then took cole anthony plus another asset. I'm not sure which team might trade up for wiseman though

i could see the knicks just taking cole 3rd or 4th if lamelo's gone

I could see them trading back (maybe a spot or two) but I doubt they would take cole 3rd or 4th. It is too much of a leap and if Cole became a bust it could be the catalyst for Leon's firing. He doesn't seem to want to make waves like that.

i don't think anyone is trading up for wiseman. all the teams in the lottery got centers except golden state and there are other bigs in this draft. maybe someone will give up a 2nd to do so. this isn't really a "trade up for" draft.

[TheGreenArrow]

this is a philosophical argument more than anything. i would rather take someone with higher upside potential even if he also has higher bust potential. i'm not trying to hit an easy double with a top 10 pick, i'm swinging to go deep and if i miss so be it.

I used to feel this way completely, especially when it came to picking knox(I’m still holding out hope) but idk anymore.

Knox completely shattered this line of thinking for me.

i never saw it for knox though because he had no dog in him even in college.

well I mean just try. if you're 3rd and GS is 5th reach out to them and see if they want to move up a couple spots for wiseman. If cole is really falling to 10-14 range, call the kings or whoever is back there and see if they want to select cole for us and move up for wiseman. If not, the knicks would probably just reach and take cole early.

Before anything, I would see about trading up for lamelo. I think we should be going all out trying to get him like the mavs did with luka. But if some team like the Bulls wins the lotto and they are enamored with him that might not be an option

[robillionaire]

GS has their own 2021 pick and the Wolves 1-3 protected pick in 2021. Would love to be in a position to take one of those off their hands
