So a Frenchman, Latvian & Spaniard Walk Into Bar, Melo Takes All The Shots Offseason NYK Thread

[Wargames]

In hindsight that draft was pretty weak.

Towns went number 1 cause he was better than Russell

But I remember Knicks fans all wanted okafor. Thank god Silver didn't rig it.

But clearly there NBA has been favoring Timberwolves, Philly, Lakers Cavs and celtics over the last 5 years

Now that all those teams are set. Next up is Knicks....especially if Melo is gone.

That's probably why they're trying to get him gone

Not for nothing I hope your right

Idk 5 we got KAT, Porzingis, Willie, Booker, Turner, Powell and a bunch more that can pan out with playing time this year

WCS
Winslow
Portis

He Was The Consensus Number One Pick There Was No Debating That

That #1 Coulda Easily Been Rigged For Us

They won't fix shyt for us man.

The league hates Dolan, we can't even get a foul call forget about draft picks. Melo's headband flies into the third row and refs look around and shrug

Please God remove the cancer named Melo.

I'm actually kind of excited to see the core of KP, THJR, Frank and Willy for the next few years. Been a long time since the Knicks had a real youth movement.

Right but in hindsight, Booker, Willie, and even porzingis weren't expected to be as good as they are now. Thats how KAT went number 1 overall and Dangelo snuck in at 2. None of them had amazing rookie years besides Kat and Porzingis.

Im just saying Knicks weren't given anything in that draft because it wasn't considered great by the scouts. No player was a sure thing.
I was a fan of Justice Winslow and even he got slept on by many teams.

But Minnesota and Lakers still got hooked up and picked the players who they wanted or atleast thought they wanted in the case of Dangleo Russell.

I meant in Hindsight it was good, because players took off by their second year.

But LOOKING BACK at draft day and the rookie season that followed, people weren't calling it a strong draft. Nobody predicted Booker or Porzingis to be this good.

Dangelo Russell went 2nd overall after all and he just got thrown in the bushes by the Lakers for this years 2nd pick

That core has 28 wins written all over it
