Knicks for clicks :snoop:



And give up half our roster and draft picks for the foreseeable future?

I'm bored and I stole this idea from another thread. What if we put any 3peat Jordan on the current Knicks, how far do you think he will get us and what will be the starting lineup?

Frank
MJ (92-93)
RJ
Randle
Robinson

Are we making it out the east? :mjlol:
:mjlol: This kind of shyt (and the replies that follow) is the reason why I don’t post in this thread as much as I used to.

I think he has a decent chance of developing a little 8-5 foot shot. They got to start asking him to do that in game now though. I don’t think he should work on his post game yet, he doesn’t need to be banging down low.

On the low I don’t think they actually challenge him to do anything he isn’t already doing because they see him as “Good”. The Knickdis so fukking subpar on development. If you need it they treat you like a scrub and if you come in already good at certain stuff they don’t ask you to expand your game or if they do it’s unrealistic. Everything basically is set for you to fail.
Supposed development strikes again :francis:Our g league guys show actual development :francis:

i mean that embiid stuff is typical knicks rumor thatll never happen, but you get him and a few shooters and theyre already the best theyve been since the 50 win season. rest of the supporting cast doesnt even matter.

it seams clear theyre never gonna go full rebuild, as much as i'd like that. so if theyre gonna star chase, they could do much worse than embiid. id be for it :yeshrug:

After doing some internet scouting I think our draft board so go

Knicks Pick: Killian Hayes/Ball, Haliburton

Clippers Pick: BPA, if possible package $5 mil and the second to move up.

Could? If they doing star chasing they are going to do way worst than Embiid. Like putting Derozan on the team with RJ and then wondering why those two can’t play together. Or trading for Paul and Melo and then being surprised we don’t make the playoffs.
This franchise is embarrassing

Like every picture of Leon, he looks like a dude who finally got forced to wife up the chick he use to just mess with cause she bought him expensive things. He got that “fukk me how do I get out of this?” Look.

- Woulda been cool if the Knicks landed the double-max cat combo and brought back Melo. It's cool to hear that was strongly considered. It's also nice to see that Wood is the one name standing out for a target this offseason. I'd throw the bag at Ingram and pray but Wood is a really good option.

- Seems like Atkinson is respected but not getting that strong of consideration. Other options have been name dropped with interest attached, for Atkinson it's "idk/tbd."

- My "pick BPA and trade up from the Clippers pick for Kira Lewis" strategy feels like it got an endorsement at the end there too. The draft lottery will really help me pick a direction. Add LaMelo and Mannion to the 5 PG's listed there and that's 7 PG's projected in the top 25 without mentioning Jones or Winston who are projected in the 25-35 range (I like both to be quality back-up PG's). With that many, I might play chicken and hope somebody slips...assuming one of those guys isn't the BPA with our top 10 selection.

I’m gonna paraphrase the draft stock watch from this Athletic article...

Vecenie’s 2020 NBA Draft Buzz: Some names moving up and down the board
Vecenie's 2020 NBA Draft Buzz: Some names moving up and down...

Kira is comfortably in the 10-20 range now. Depending on the team, i can see him going in the lottery... some teams like Kira more than Maxey who a lot of scouts have as a top 10 prospect.

RJ Hampton stock is falling. Barring a chance to workout for teams, he could fall out of the lottery.

Nesmith looks like the second best wing in the draft behind Okoro... (Edwards and Hayes aren’t considered wings)

Teams think Nnaji can play the 4 in the league... I have spent zero time thinking about bigs in this draft so...

And finally, for Nico Mannion fans, he could be there for us at the clippers pick. Veccine thinks Tyrell Terry is yet another pg that looks better than him who has declared for the draft. Terry has me intrigued, I’m starting to hear more and more of him on some of the draft podcasts I’ve listened to...

I could convince myself to take Cassius Winston over nico mannion...Kira Lewis is a dude I want to trade up for with that clippers pick. RJ outside the lottery is a really nice pick! Every time I listen to scouts Nesmith is like a pet favorite fam. He’s always getting a ton of love.
