Knicks · What if the Knicks trade Melo to Houston & Tyson/Shump to OKC and get the 21st, 25 and 29th picks? Who would you draft? (page 2)

excuse me for picking on you guys but there is hardly any discussion....only complaining and fighting and nobody has any ideas or hypotheticals to make conversation. Not all of you but know who you is!

LOL. Complaing and fighting? I just re-read the thread and don't see any of that. I thought it was an interesting thread so far with people discussing their thought respectfully all around. Dunno, maybe I'm way off. Now Im wondering though why you started a thread about draft picks if you didn't want wide ranging discussion? And yes I do know you stated specifically you wanted a list of players but nobody is way off topic. Looking back now it kinda seems like the thread was a thinly veiled attempt at a "gotcha" to promote some kind of bizarre anti-draft pick agenda.

I have no idea if I was one of the unimaginitive, boring posters you are calling out and who's ass you want to stick your hypothetical foot up but honestly to me it sounds like you simply don't want to admit or even consider any alternative to what you already believe when it comes to this topic.

I'll be honest, I don't there's a huge drop off in talent from 29 to 39 in this draft. With pick 29, I'd say take the best player available. Spencer Dinwiddie would probably be the guy I target their. I'd probably nab Jusuf Nurkic at 25. He kind of reminds me of Cole Aldrich, except he's coordinated and catch the ball. Cleanthony Early or Kyle Anderson would be my choices at 21.

I would try to package those picks to get into the lottery, and if Dante exum is available then I would go for him... but I have a feeling he may be gone real early.
