Would getting Okoro and terry be possible or any of the top wings and terry be possible?

Not likely especially now that workouts are now being allowed. Teams will see that he's physically a lot stronger and his great feel and character will win at least one GMs confidence before the 27th pick.

Ultimately other than the top 3 to 6 guys expect players and opinions to start moving all over the place. You can try to trade down but if you really feel that strongly about someone that others may not, you take him. Otherwise why would you trust your guys to make any decision at all right? If you think a guy is the 8th best player on the board then he's the 8th best player. Trading down is fine if you think the other teams between 8 and whatever you trade down to don't know what you know and see what you see. But iys ultimately a risk.

There is still time to jump on the Haliburton train before it leaves the station

I think more 5 or 6 threads..

The discussion is evolving...

We learned that LaMello has a great upside but has many red flags.

Wiseman could be dominating or not.

Okoro, Hayes, Haliburton, and Vassel have great skills. But could be just role players...

Spent a whole 30 seconds on this

Will be my one joke if we draft Okoro. Too OP, needs nerf. WotC please.

Haliburton's jumper is looking quicker and more fluid; probably because he's stronger now

still has that weird release tho where his dominant hand starts on the outside of the ball, but still encouraging to see that his jumper is looking better

If y’all want Okoro we better be signing Bertans and have a bench full of shooters.

I wont like trading for a guy who could fall to us anyway AND cant shoot.

Something about Halliburton. I think his game is being overlooked because of his funky jumper. He’s actually everything the Knicks want in a PG. efficient, great passer, passer, knock down 3 point shooter, high IQ, size, thrives in transition, size, and gets in the passing lane.

He could end up really making everyone look stupid. This dude has had a 17 assist game. That’s not by accident...

Also just found out he has a 7 foot wingspan...........

agreed. in 2016, w/ Thibs making the decisions for the Wolves, he picked a 22 y/o Kris Dunn at 5....2 picks later Jamaal Murray

I don't think it's just the jumper, it's also his ability to shoot off the dribble and his lack of getting into the paint/getting to the line

He's damn sure long and seems fluid. Reminds me some Livingston. I wouldn't be mad...
