Check it fam, Lance Thomas and Kuz are both trade targets...Can we get Hezonja? Prolly not but I'd inquire in a heartbeat. Either way, this is my point about cheap role players...teams are willing to take them off your hands if you really need that cap space, so adding them when you have a chance (key being for a reasonable price tag) is beneficial. They help your team identity while they play and they're easily moved, sometimes bringing back decent assets depending on the circumstances.


Every versatile forward is on their list.

The Westchester Knicks should be playing
I feel the same way about firing coaches before the draft due to Larry Drew leaving and going to Milwaukee for them to draft our promise (Giannis)

They aren't gonna stop, until they've fukked their way into the 7th or 8th pick.

The good news is that's still range for Frank or Isaac (I don't understand why the entirety of Realgm's Knicks board has deemed the kid a guaranteed bust but they do it to one cat every year). I realize that's not Fultz or DSJr or Fox...but as a consolation prize, there's still plenty to be excited about for one of those cats. But damn...this feels like deja vu.

Which Melo stans does this refer to?

I've seen one person trolling back after brehs trolled Melo throughout the whole year.

This is fascinating because I'm interested in how what's happening on the court with the Knicks is a result of anything a Knicks fan has control over.

Sounds like the feels @I.V. spoke of.

Season almost over Breh. :manny:

Id rather have him over every pg thats not Ball or Fultz, so i suppose that's the silver lining in all of this.
To be fair, I imagine most rational brehs are disappointed in not having the option to choose between and it's less about whether they'd still get the guy they want


I do understand that.

:mjlol: This dude @Mr. Jack Napier consistently throws shade at people mentioning the draft in every season thread, so the idea that he is some type of victim (for lack of a better word) just getting justified payback is laughable. Dude is trolled for his horrible basketball opinions that year and year out are proven to be wrong...but let's not act like "get the fukk outta here with that draft shyt!!!" when delusions of playoff aspirations are still fresh is not a common theme. I can't wait for next season when bi-weekly threats to leave the thread come upon us. :pachaha:

Nah nothing about him says potential star.he could be very good on defense but his offense is nothing great

He could be a solid Jrue Holiday type but this franchise needs another difference maker not potential solid starters

A bigger, less injury prone Jrue could make a few all star teams though. I hear what you're saying, but with someone like Dennis Smith, his height, wingspan, and poor defense makes it hard for me to see him as a star in this league. I suppose he can max out as a Kyrie type of player, but if he's anything short of that, can you stomach his defense? So its between Fox and Ntilikina for me, and its close.Fox probably has the edge in terms of potential, but think of all the guys who come in the league and never fix their shot? Fox is a poor enough shooter to make me really hesitatant on picking him, but ill admit i still do flip flop on who I'd rather pick out of the two though.

The NBA is a star driven league I'm taking the player with the higher upside every time which is why I'd gamble on Fox or DSJ over Frank

If we went "safe" a few years ago we would have taken Winslow over KP
