I expect it to be 15 or higher but we all know we ain't going number 1. Maybe we can package the Dallas pick to move up to top 3

Off to a good start with reports of KP out until early February!

Is it bad to wish harm to a player? Asking for a friend... :lol:

As long as Luka's healthy, it doesn't matter.

mavs record was 11-7 without porzingis (61.1%) and 32-25 with him (56.1%) so let's hope he comes back soon and chucks hard as ever

Man listen, even if we're picking 5th and 19th in the 2021 draft it's going to be epic. We had 8, 27, and 38 in this super weak draft, and there are reasons for excitement. Next year is going to be UNREAL as long as we hold the picks!

We need to also grab two probable lottery picks in Houston and Charlotte deals

Any Knick fans out there willing to take one for the team and create our own version of Celtic Pride.

I know that Obi should mean JJ doesn't make sense for us...but I can't help but think about how unstoppable an offense you could build with JJ & Obi as your bigs, as long as RJ & Frank took that step with their shooting that we'll need them to take no matter whom we draft. Throw in Quickley turning out to be a steal or whomever we can nab with the Mavs pick, and oooo...

Not saying we should take JJ over better fits, just that imagining JJ to Obi PNRs is fun...

I will help raise the bail if our heroes are in need of assistance.

I don’t care where the Mavs finish, I’m trading up from their spot and trying to have 2 top 10 picks. Even if it means trading some of those 2023s & other Mav pick.

DowNY · Post #633 » by **DowNY** » Sun Nov 29, 2020 12:04 am

JJ looked real good. Just don’t think he fits here because he’ll be a 4. But that means more wings and PGs slides.

Obi at the 5? defensively that is no bueno

Jalen Johnson and the depth of the wing/forward class is part of the reason I would've gone PG this year

Hopefully Amar Sylla doesn't blow up and can be in range for our seconds.

If either of Greg or Isiah converted to a sf they would be great for us and could maybe be there for that Mavs pick.

Brown and Todd are both 4's

Knicks can't keep playing too big and moving players down a position

my dream scenario going into the season was BJ Boston and Caleb Love

Love
Boston
RJ
Obi
Mitch

2 top 10 picks would give this team a young core that can grow together and conceivably give the team long term stability

This is the draft to cash in all your draft chips for the top picks. I believe Dallas is going to have a hard time making the playoffs in that division. The majority of their games are going to be against solid battle-tested playoff teams and a few hungry up and coming teams. No team is going to take the night off playing against Luka. I hope Houston wait until next season to hit the reset button, we need them to help us by taking down Dallas.

I know, but if he's surrounded by JJ & 3 +defenders, good luck outscoring that group...plus they'd just be a ton of fun to watch.

I love how you kept it realistic. 5 and 19th is easily conceivable and damn this draft is deep. Studs jusat popping out of the wood work.

Luka kinda chubby and logs major mins. He also plays kinda reckless at times. Combine all that with the short off-season and almost no camp. And...
