Older thread '20 NYK Off-season Thread

[Carolina Slim]

Was listening to Alan Hahn earlier, and he was spot on, in my opinion. Said this isn't the draft where we need to be overly concerned about trying to move up; we need to identify someone useful and use the pick on them, or "make our own miracles", as he put it, and package the pick. He did say that he thought we could get CP3 without having to include a pick since we'd be doing OKC a favor and taking his contract off their hands. I'm kinda on that one. I don't see any way OKC does that without trying to get some draft collateral back

Cp3 is a bad idea simply because he's getting injured and out for the year as soon as he touches down in the Garden

I like that Kira finishes with both hands. Some players come into the league without that skill and he makes it looks easy. I'm all for him at #8 but you know how that goes.

We have too many options to fukk this up based on need, because we basically need everything.

I still like Okoro as our #1 option with a PG if he's not there. Just stay away from Cole Anthony because he looks like a chucker who wouldn't play well with RJ.

If I don't see CP3 ina Knick uniform...but I see Mitch and RJ still on the team... And I see we didn't try to recklessly move up in draft...

I'll be happy.

Otherwise...I'm already over it.

Let me also say... although my mental health has actually been surprisingly stable throughout quarantine; it really has done a number on my value systems.

I really don't even feel even a little upset or frustrated or disappointed at this latest "let's laugh at the Knicks event".

It's weirdly freeing.

I'm kind of numb about it all

Kira and Vassell are the names I’m seeing the most.

Ok, My dumb offseason scenario of the week:

Sacramento calls and offers Buddy Hield and 12 for Knox, 8, the 23 Mavs pick and Scott Perry. What do you guys say?
Hield will make 24 next season but is on a front loaded contract and that leaves us with about 25+ left in room before possibly dumping Randle.

Okoro would be a terrible selection for us.

There’s nothing wrong with R.J. playing with a scoring guard. The issue is Randle.

Cole is one of the most athletic guards in this class and one of the best at making tough shots good jumper mechanics and balance has a good pull-up game and step backs and from what I’ve seen not bad at those Iverson cuts off ball.

Cant judge him too harshly he played with trash spacing and through injury.

I’m saying hell yes.

C Mitchell Robinson
F Davis Bertans
F R.J. Barrett
G Buddy Hield
G Chris Paul

Now this is a team

 

[Kitsch]

If RJ was in this year's draft where do you think he would rank?

Top 2.

Ya’ll need an exorcism.

How the Warriors that have been the most winningst team in nba history have one down year and still end up doing better in the draft in one year than ya’ll in 20. That shyt ain’t right.

Ain’t no good players in this draft after 3

Damn
