A Blown Knee & Flat Tires-Another NY Pothole Year: 17-18 Knicks Season Thread

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

I don't know what Lance was doing but he did that shyt on purpose, breh is just irritating

I don’t think top 3 is reachable at this point, but top 5 definitely is. I wanted to see who you guys would draft.

Forget player, what position do you think we need most?

At center you got Bamba, bagley and aynton

At forward you got porter jr and doncic

At guard you got sexton and young.

If KP is hell bent on not playing center, I would love to make Bamba our number 1 target, would love to see him compete against embiid for the next 10yrs.

If KP agrees to move to 5, I would love to target Porter JR especially if his medial records check out.

I would make the two PG’s our last resort, because I would draft doncic before I draft those two.

Would love inputs from you all

Bagley and Jaren Jackson Jr. are my top guys. But Jaren and Bagley could play either the 4 or 5, depending on where you want KP in the future. Bagley will be an offensive force in the nba, and Jaren is a big with three point range who could end up an elite rim protector and defender.

So bagley and jackson jr as number 1 and 2 priorities? Above aynton, bamba, porter jr and doncic?

Interesting, would love to hear why jackson jr

We need a forward in the draft. A shot creator.

Dare I say it...














We need a Young Melo

michael porter might drop to us cause of his back issues (unlikely unless that tank is expedited )...might fill that 3/small ball 4 role that we need to pair with KP
6'10 shot creator...not hyper athletic...but he gets buckets.
we're probably gonna get mikal bridges tho

 

[Carolina Slim]

I've seen a lot of Bagley around here in NC, and I really am starting to like his fit for us. I think he could develop into a Chris Bosh type player.

 

[ZackMorris]

I'm really feeling this Mudiay/Frankie backcourt so far

 

[Miles Davis]

Liking how Mudiay and Frank playing, they better develop them properly.

Also after this game I don’t wanna see Jack getting anymore time, these dudes have shown they can handle the job.

Is this the end for Trey.I.?

Breh got 8 minutes tonight

check the edit. Posted about Jaren a while ago too.Regardless of need, a guy with Jaren's skillset is kind of hard to pass up.The Knicks have a lot of needs though(shot creation, athleticism) so I wouldn't be mad with any of the guys mentioned ,but to be real, there's a real chance KP could injury prone his whole career. So I want a guy who can bring some of the things KP brings, and be able to play alongside of him too when he's in the lineup, hence why I'm thinking Jaren is the guy.

It shouldn’t, he can come off the bench as Frank/Ay getting the starting roles.

Just read your edit and I agree that you could put Bagley at 4 or 5 depending on KP’s willingness to play the 5. But if you’re saying jaren has 3pt potential and rim protection, you’re overlooking bamba who does both better than jaren. Imagine having bamba and KP in the paint, you’re looking at creating trouble for teams for the next 10yrs with 2 7footers

And since 2018 season will most likely be a wash with KP out until january or February, I wouldn’t mind another tanking season and targeting RJ Barret.

Going into the 2020 season

C- Bamba
PF- KP
SF- Barret
SG- Frank or timmy
PG- Mudiay or Frank

Mudiay and Frank could be a fun back court to watch if they develop properly, they actually complement each other pretty well. I like that they're seeing the bulk of their minutes together too, if they're the back court of the future it makes no sense to not play them together often.

True, but what about Hardaway?

Timmy Tank jokes aside, I'm pretty sure they didn't sign Tim to that 70 million dollar contract () to be a 6th man....

 

[ISO]

Timmy’s inconsistency is infuriating

Nikka still has that high wide dribble and still chucks too much

 

[nyknick]

I've only seen Ayton play but KP has to move to 5 next season.

You always go for the best player available but unless there's a huge gap between 5s and 3s I would definitely go for an SF.

 

[DPresidential]

Mudiay with 29 min.

Frank with 31.

My way too early mock draft next week after I come back from LA
