I'm not impressed at all....all that trade switcheroo stuff for those guys who could have been gotten without it.

I think we did well, but I don't really know

Toppin is a good pick though. This is not a Knox pick. Guy has fire, he's going to compete hard

Yeah as bad as the Knicks were defensively last year it was like pouring bleach in my eyes watching this team play offense too. If we're going to suck let's at least be able to score the ball and put our players in much better situations to pad stats and raise values. RJ is going to love the spacing Quickley brings and honestly I don't think the Toppin Mitch fit will be as bad as some people think. I think Toppin's jumper is legit and I think on the short roll he'll be able to make the right reads. In transition, he'll be AMAZING.

Trade Randle for something and we've all of a sudden got some really nice spacing.

Something weird here... we got the 25th pick from OKC but received the 33rd pick from MIN. And now we traded 2023 pick from clippers for #33? Something fishy.

We need to trade Randle doe sure.

I guess they don’t feel confident in drafting a non CAA client or Kentucky player so they are punting..... smh

Honestly I'm glad we didn't pick up a 2nd round pick this year. Every year we hype up our 2nd round pick like he is going to be a next star and only if we gave them some burn they'd turn into Jokic. Now we don't got to pretend

He has an argument for being a top 10 PG in the league.

Yeah your username suites you too well. You def BugginOut.

Luka
Lillard
Chris Paul
Ben Simmons
Kyrie
Lowry
Westbrookn
Trae young
Ja Morant
Kemba

These are basically the top PG's in the league.

FVV is in the next category, with Fox, Bledsoe, D'Angelo Russel and Diwiddie.

Out of all those guys I'm taking FVV

Yes all those guys were allowed to walk when they were 26 and FA. How is he arguably top ten ??

this makes no f***** sense to me

trade down from 23 to 25 and miss out on RJ Hampton, one of the few players w/ big upside to pick up to get pick 33

then at pick 25 take a Quickley who could've probably been had at 33 and then trade pick 33 for a 2023 2nd rounder....

could've had: Obi, Bane, and Quickley instead they just have 2....I just dont understand

Ima need a Luka grade 5 ankle sprain in practice soon. Not afraid to admit it

Wait ...what? WTF is going on? Rose is playing pinball out here! Trade up. Trade back. Trade for a pick 2 years away with the second trade up. Traded two trades for a trade for another to trades and trade one away for a future 2nd Rd pick? Trade trade trade trade trade....trade.

we got Mitch in the 2nd round. he's our best player.

late 2nd's are kinda worthless, but picks 31-40 have produced some good players

there was only 1 good PG in the draft and he went 3rd, I ain't even mad

I'm mad. This draft was a major kick in the gut. I don't even feel excited about tonight and while over the years, we've all tried to talk ourselves into getting excited about our picks, this year just feels different.

Yea, now is the time to stock up on cheap young players and see what you have. They all won't pan out.
