My Posse's On Broadway: Official NY Knicks 2016-2017 Season Thread

knick gonna end up winning tonight

I think they've already locked the 6th worst record. I believe the wolves have the tie breaker on us

Derrick Rose hates fame, but still hopes to be an NBA champion

I wish we could get him to retire and collect that money as an advisor on some A-Rod ish. I do think he'd make a good mentor for our young bigs, but we could really use that cap space. Complete pipe dream but Noah retiring but sticking around to mentor bigs; flipping KOQ and a second for a late first and adding Swanigan to the crew that Noah mentors would be great for me (I'd really love Bam Adebayo also but dude is gonna go top 20). Swanigan as a real PF with defensive potential to go with the offensive games of KP/Willy would have me hype for our front court future.

We don't get the cap space.

If he retires, it still counts as salary, unless he qualifies for a "career ending injury" exclusion. And to do so, you have to be examined and approved by a doctor jointly chosen by the league and the players association.

Yeah, I'll be first to tell you I'm not familiar with how the medical exemptions work or how hard it would be to attain. But as a dream scenario, looking at a dude who has missed so much time the past few years and has had multiple surgeries...I feel like there'd have to be at least a case for one if he retired. It'd be worth a try.

If the best player on the board is Fox at #6, even though there is a good chance his skill set doesn't match what the knicks are doing (aka he can't shoot yet)..... do they draft him as BPA?

If Gaines/Phil want another player slotted later in the draft do they have the balls to see if the kings will give up pick #9 and #10 to move up to #6? It would be really risky..... but its a deep draft, Like outside of a star player we need more quality depth than anything else in order to be able to competitive with teams like Philly in the future. Instead of taking Fox (who can't shoot) we could come away from this draft with two of Frank, DSJ, OG, Ferguson, Isaac, or Justin Jackson. Also I could see vivek going gaga for a backcourt of Fox and Hield.

Anyhow just food for thought on why we should be hoping we can lock up #6

theres no such thing as a tie breaker in the draft
they'll literally flip a coin for it on draft lottery day
these dikkheads better lose

 

[Shogun]

Losing to the The Process will be a perfect ending to Melo's time in NY.

 

[puggle]

I don't want them sliding to 7, Hornacek better play N'Dour at point guard or something.

I figured the seeding determined the lottery balls, regardless of having the same record. But we're down 10, so it don't matter
