Amen.

It’s outrageous, but then again it’s just par for the Dolan course.


Pointless we were the worst team last year and still picked 3rd so just dead it bottomline is relying on the draft right now just ain’t feasible

That’s going to happen wherever we have picked :lol:


Rose looks like he assembled a legit team that might know what they are doing so lets see how they handle this draft. It's not Mills so I'm cautiously optimistic


Not Mills should at least land you a rotation player

I think this is how the draft is going to breakdown. Who are you picking here?

This is such a terrible take. They tanked 1 year. We got #3.

They tried to be good and failed miserably every other year.

Miserably.

I know this sounds crazy but I really think Leon Rose was hoping to win the lottery while bumping Minnesota so that he could Godfather #1, RJ, Mitch, and cap for both KAT and DLo.

As it stands, I expect him to package 8 and youth out the door first chance he gets for the next McDyess, Amare, ZBo, Carmelo level talent he can find. Hashtag Dolan.

Meh. It's a weak draft, and this saves us the embarrassment of picking Lamelo Ball, who will almost certainly bust in spectacular fashion.

3 is better than 8.

It's really not that complicated.

Yah...I kinda feel like this is actually an indictment of the non-tanking crowd.

Take vassell and you run, same thing if haliburton falls. If we can walk away with one of the 2 best shooters in the draft at the 8th pick its a god damn steal.
