2019-2020 College/Draft thread 13: One week to go

1. Kira Lewis or Devin Vassell ... it is @ 8.

2. Trade for either Schroeder or CP3 or Westbrook. In that order. With Schroeder, you may have to give back assets. For the others, not so much. Just outright absorb the contracts. Problem is it cuts down your 2021 money.

3. Giving future picks will be stupid because it gives you a chance to get that #1 pick. And Knicks are due.

4. If Vassell and Kira are not worth the #8 pick as per the decision makers then they would trade that pick.

summer 2022. just hang in there it will be here before you know it. of course our 14% chance will have us picking 5th

summer 22 is a whole new front office and likely a diff mindset if we're still low enough to be tanking

ok thought it was 23...

Has anyone ever done a RGM retrospective on last year’s draft thread?

Seems like every year, we fill hundreds of pages with hype and sh*t talk about two dozen prospects.

Would be interesting to see some data on which, if any, of you knuckleheads actually know what you’re talking about.

Due for what?

A new owner? Management is under the same delusional “win now” mantra as ever. We’re on solid ground for yet another meaningless season on the mid-lottery treadmill.

Best thing that could possibly happen would be no fans allowed at games so that maybe Dolan accepts some common sense instead of the same toxic waste fire year after year of burning the future for a make-believe now featuring thousand dollar tickets and chants of Bobby Portis one game per season.

When you’re picking 8th you have to select someone with more upside than Devin Vassell. To be honest I wound even take P Will before him.

Due for the lottery, see the context.

when you are picking 8 you just want to select a good player. Look at the history of the 8th pick

Even though he has a couple of sundry fans on here, Obi has the most detractors.

Therefore, Obi is the top of my wish list.

Leggo Leon! Make the Knick fan angst rain down!

thebuzzardman · Post #892 » by **thebuzzardman** » Fri Nov 13, 2020 1:44 am

Westbrook
RJ
Knox
Obi
Mitch

30 wins!

He was one of the guys I wanted at 38 but I’ll take him at 27 if we have too

i'd be down with schroeder, and i'm also down with vassell.

i still think this draft is bad that at the end of the day, it'll be the role players that have success.

if devin vassell can be kerry kittles, who wouldn't sign up for that?

Is there anyone we HAVEN'T been connected to?

What concerns me more than the history of the 8th pick (which tends to be disappointing ill give you that) is the idea that once again the team picking in front of us will take a stud. It’s happened far too often.
