Knicks · If You Had the 16th, 19th, 21st and 29th Picks In This Draft, What Would You Do? (page 1)

What would you do? Who would you draft? Would you trade up? If so, for who? Etc.

make a trade for thibs

I would probably be a Philly or San Antonio or Phoenix fan, cuz you know the Knicks would never have all those picks

probably overeat and explode

I'd probably call the Celtics or Lakers and see if they'd be willing to trade down, assuming they had the 5th or 6th pick. The Lakers need a number of bodies and to ditch Nash's contract, while the Celtics don't need a PG, which eliminates the value of staying at 5th, which is where Dante Exum and Marcus Smart are expected to go. The Knicks could help to alleviate either of their problems if we had quality picks like those. My target would be Exum, who looks like he'd be a great fit in the triangle. If I'm left with an extra pick, I'd be looking to draft Adrien Payne.

I've been looking forward to us running the triangle. As much as I love Thibs, I'd pass on him to get a guy who can actually run that offense.

Read Phil wants Kerr locked up so they can go to the draft combine together.

Do we have any picks? Look for guys not drafted? I don't think we can buy a pick anymore, but are their trade considerations we might have?
Lakers always did real well with a guy like Rick Fox or Luke Walton as that glue guy. Have we read much how much Phil was influential in his roster construction?

If I had all those picks, the first thing I'd do is block Masai Ujiri on my cell phone...cuz he'd be owning all of them

I would select 4 players who I could give up and demand we trade after a year, as soon as they start to struggle.

Probably just a bonding session. I do think that there are a handful of decent players coming out who could go undrafted.

I would release Bargnani, hope he gets picked up by another team, and then, I would trade our picks for him all over again.

Come on lol What about that time we drafted Walter McCarty, John Wallace and Dontae Jones in the first round. Remember how well that worked out

Unfortunately we can't buy a pick until July 10th, when we traded our cash for the juggernaut known as Andrea Bargnani. As for our own picks, we don't even own a 2nd rounder. It's pretty depressing but what's new as a Knick fan?

Ha, we all thought John Wallace was an awesome steal at the time!

depends which team it is, what contracts the team has, what needs, but in general I would probably say trade 1 or 2 picks for FUTURE draft picks or/and draft Euro talents to stash for the future if they fall
