I told the board from the Jump I had a good deal for Lillard. From the start of this draft I wanted John Wall or end of FIrst pick. I lost out on Wall. I played with Lillard before. Im happy. Picked up a third. Pooch you need to SHUT UP right about now. You have no idea. Its not a trade Rape. Its Tape is Smart. I offered that deal to like six GM's. They all kept waiting. I said from the JUmp I have a Good Deal for Lillard. I play this game my way.

I don't even see how it's a trade rape. I was taking a guard with my pick regardless because those are my favorite type of players, but I don't like Lowry and I felt that Dame was a better centerpiece than the 2 other guards I was looking at.

Of course you had your reasons, as I had mine calling it a bumming cuz I would have preferred other players on board right now over Dame. If Ill is offended by the word bumming or traderape I take it back, I dont have a better word for it though, heavy price? I like the bumming more, I get bummed from time to time as well, to follow my heart

Seeing all these trades got me like...

woof bullet dodged...

yeah, Lowry wasn't even on my board to be honest lol

The hate for Lowry on the Knicks board is too strong. He's a top 6 point and all of you haters look like clowns for putting some bum pgs over him earlier in the year.

How Derozan or Wall go over Lowry is something I'm not able to comprehend. I'd take him over Kyrie right now honest.

Personally I do think Lowry is better than Wall (not by much at all) but he is slightly. However Lowry is 30 plus and Wall is 26 that was my main determining factor in taking Wall. I highly considered Lowry along with Griffin at 15.

kyrie is unguardable while lowry is guardable
u'll see the difference in the playoffs

[Knicksfan1992]

Again if anyone in the 30-40 range wants to move down to 46 let me know. Willing to move up and give quality depth.

There's no metric this season that you can point to that says Kyrie is better than Lowry. They're pretty much equal offensively while Kyle plays defense and Kyrie is allergic to it.

Fair enough. They are close. If you have a particular team vision though I can't fault you for Wall because there are some things he does better than Lowry. A nice Pf for example looks better next to Wall than Lowry imo.

40 could be available but its a while away when it gets closer you can hit me up.

But he's a revolving door on defense.

[pelifan]

Lowry's only playoff flaw last year was not being able to hit the 3 worth a lick, all the rest of his numbers say he was the same guy he was in the regular season.

Derozan was much worse in the postseason last season.

Yo, you should take another guy from my old team with you next pick. PG is already a worse version of Kawhi. You could just build Pacers version 0.5.

Now I just gotta find all your Lowry comments.

Lol I knew I was going to get roasted by you. Lowry was just the easiest to go at lol, Lowry is a beast who's made crazy strides in his offensive game to match the best pg's and on top off that he's a bulldog on defense.

[Mecca]

Stop it. Lowry can't hold Kyrie's jock strap.

If I didn't trade my pick I was decing between hayward and someone still available..

Lol I love Irving but we all know what he is without Lebron.

No we don't

Last time we saw Kyrie solo he was 21 years old. He's a grown bull now.
