So zach lowe confirmed that the Knicks were trading the fourth pick until Charlotte backed out

@I.V. apologize whenever you're ready

Zinger was not their plan a


How did he confirm it? Phil spoke about it?

Because if it's just more speculation - Kaminsky could have been drafted at 4. He was there, they could have taken him, and did not.

Plus it's been stated over and over the he was the FIRST choice of Clarence Gaines, Phil's number one scout, who went and saw him in person. And that has been confirmed by Gaines himself.

Why would you take frank at 4 when you can get him at 9 plus another pick and sullinger and whatever else was offered

Why take frank when the guy that your front office wanted all summer is right there at 4, and he's a stud?

Here's Steve Mills, recalling a conversation with Melo leading up to the draft. THAT is from Lowe's reporting. And it PRECEDE'S rumored deals.

Why don't you just let this one go, now? Leave the reporting to those with news sense.

The question could have implied a lot of things -- including the frustration a 31-year-old with aching knees might feel about the franchise, his franchise, banking his NBA twilight on an unknown not far removed from a regrettable cornrows phase. Mills decided total honestly was the best way to push through any tension. "Carmelo," Mills said, "if he's there, we probably will draft him."
