The Knicks lost the draft we were the big losers.

we're used to it.

The way the order came down--no need to think about getting Okafor or Towns--thats done. I still think the Knicks will take WCS and especially now.The statistical odds of the 1 finally getting pick #1 were big.
Phil will not take Stein, Briggs- no way.
Now I wonder who the T'Wolves, Lakers and Sixers take? Sixers will snatch Russell before we get too him unless the Lakers take him ahead of them. That's the only way we could still land one of Okafor or Towns. Outside of that we'll be left with Mudiay.
T'Wolved - Okafor
Lakers - Towns
Sixers - Russell
Knicks - Mudiay?

i thought philly already had a good pg
Yeah, but the tanking process only works if you draft your lottery pick PG two years into their career for more draft picks. That and you have to draft injured big man prospects.

It should have been us with the worst record and we would of had the number one... What a shame
Yep....well the 4th pick will be interesting for phil. Gives him the option to do what i want anyway....trade and try to get two 1st round picks or a vet.
Only one team has two 1st round picks: Boston. Would you really trade down from #4 to #16 and #28?
in all seriousness... it's not the end of the world....
twolves and lakers will pick towns and okafor in some order.... sixers are a bit of a wildcard... all 3 wings are in play for them...
russell or winslow is really not that bad... they are legit top 5 lotto picks in a deep draft with solid arguments to be #2 this year...

The perfect summary- we're fucked !
What a bunch of cry babies. We get a top 4 pick which will be a really good player. If everything goes the way the world projects it to go we'll be choosing from E.Mudiay, J.Winslow and K.Porzingis and i'll be happy with any of the three.
Somehow i just knew we were getting #4. This team is cursed. I hope we trade down and get Kaminsky plus another first.
Trading down wont help neither will trading it for a flawed player. Basically we just have to hope russell is there. If not mudiay could be a steal even though he played overseas. They cant reach for guys like stein or kaminsky

Yep, pretty much.
Guess who's comin to town boys ??? GREG MONROE! For all the consternation over him. He's now the most likely target in FA! Unless there's some miracle and Okafor falls to us you can bank on Monroe getting a visit.

i figured 4 too. In recent years the second worst gets 3 or 4. Last year the second worst got 3 so i just knew we would move down a couple spots

Exactly. I know everyone is butt hurt right now cause we dropped two spots but there will be some serious talent sitting there for us at 4 if we stay at 4.
But i still think the 4th pick has as much potential as the 1st pick...Mudiay has as much star potential as anybody. The knicks been watching him all season. He woukdve been the 1st pick if it wasnt for the 1 and done rule.

id rather have towns who is a more complete big man
Crazy things is that we got bumped out by the Lakers and we have like 20 former Lakers on our coaching staff and front office..
