Don't forget we stole a W from them a month ago

These nikkas don't need to be lucky again

 

[nomoreneveragain]

I was looking at Orlando and Philadelphias schedules.

I don't see them fools losing either

If not him, then markanan?

he mentions a guy that doesnt use athleticism on offense...and you suggest we draft a shorter kristaps thats worse at rebounding and defense.
he's polished offensively...and nothing else
the team needs guards or wings.
edit: a 7 footer in college should not average .5 blocks a game.
i'm sorry. players are much smaller at that level...it should be easier.

You never know with these dudes, they seem to play their hearts out for the games that should be an auto L

And then turn around and lose to the Nets TWICE in a row

If they're gonna go with a big, I'd rather they choose Isaac or Patton or Allen... If they're gonna pick a guard, I think Smith or Frank and then Monk/Fox -- I think. I really like fox and monk, I just have concerns about what kind of ceiling they hit.

Markkanen for the Knicks? Nah, with our needs I'd go with any of Fox, Monk, Frank or Smith (one of which is bound to reach our draft slot) over Markkanen.

problem is we alread have a plethora of bigs on this roster going into next year...and those are reaches if we get a pick in the 4-7 range.
i feel like fox has a higher ceiling....and monk is more polished right now
fox idolizes westbrook...so its kinda nice seeing someone with a motor like his....and the athletic explosiveness he already has. may not be westbrook level...but he's up there.

 

[Illuminatos]

No more bigs.

 

[The War Report]

Knicks and bigs don't mix...

Yeah, but who cares? One of them is star caliber, the others range from starters to backups. If they wanna go ultra length, and positionless basketball -- Isaac is right there as a guy who can play anywhere between 3-5.

Clearly guard is the weakest part of our team. But after Fultz everyone has questions, there's no real top 3-5. Ball, Tatum, Jackson, Fox, Monk, Smith, Isaac could be interchangeable based on workouts/hype.

ehh true...but i did state....we need guards or wings....and isaac fits the mold of a durant-like 3... physically and skill wise.
he aint really a big in the traditional sense...like the other two men you suggested. those would be the reaches.

Maybe. Ultimately you gotta go BPA, because this team sucks. Isaac is damn near 7 feet tall, probably ends up best as a 4/5.

The problem is they need everything, pretty much EXCEPT for whatever position you play porzingis at. They just need talent.

There's no way Ball goes past two

Even if the team with the second pick doesn't want Ball they are gonna say they do til the last second to squeeze something out the lakers via trade

Oh absolutely, but my point is that I think Fultz is the most complete player.

Everyone else has questions. I think they go 1/2 -- but if Phoenix got the 2, it would actually get very interesting very fast.
