Let me know when Philly & Milwaukee become Eastern Conference powerhouses
You talk like a nikka who only reads the Coli for their sports opinion.lol @ making fun of Philly. At the end of the day they did what they had to do. Regardless how many picks they wasted they got the franchise piece and likely the secondary piece needed to content in the future.
What are the Knicks doing? They don't even have their secondary piece. They are literally building a treadmill team alongside one of the brightest prospects they've ever had.
Simmons will be a playmaking forward, nobody knows what his ceiling is but they already have their franchise player in Embiid. They will most likely get two draft picks this summer, they could have the 1st and 5th pick in this draft, even without the first pick they're walking away with a player that fits their team (Smith or Monk).
Why are you talking about who wants to play for them? Again, the new CBA makes player movement from stars a lot less likely, trying to get a star in FA this summer will be pointless.
Brehs come in here and want to continue bringing up past GM decisions intertwined with what they believe the Knicks should do.
It's not even concise...it's almost purposefully filled with fluff and so convoluted that no one can tell if it's what they think we should be doing or a critique of what's been done.
Typical coli shyt...
Brehs having a end of year final and instead of solving the problem the hypothetical presents, they spend 3/4 of the time complaining about the stupidity of getting into the situation the hypothetical presents.
fukk all that bullshyt.

Anyway... So Chris Paul isn't a free agent until Summer 2018.
That leaves D. Rose, Jrue Holiday, Steph Curry(shouldn't even mention him), Jeff Teague, and Shaun Livingston as the top PG free agents this summer.
I'm really interested in what alot of yall have to to say about this...
You talk like a nikka who only reads the Coli for their sports opinion.
We may not have a perennial second piece however, while yall trying to attach a cheesesteak and a jawn w/ a phat ass and caramel skin to sweeten up a low trade value Okafor and/or Nerlens Noel deal... Knicks are over here ready to get pitch forks ready if a 26 year old Kyle O'Quinn or a 22 year old Willy Hernangomez gets traded. Both of which are signed to four year deals.
Philly isn't winning a chip in the next 5 years, breh. The Knicks, aren't either, but in the meantime, we'll be watchable AND when Melo's contract is over, we'll have those pieces and be in great position to take any trajectory seems best.
Considering the way our GM has been drafting and making moves... I have confident in him regardless of where our pick is in future drafts.
