I seriously hope that the Knicks don't get Lyles. Rakeem Christmass is twice as good as him.

It's heartbreaking we aren't in the top three man. I'm still not over it.

Me neither. Those last 2 wins we had will be memorable...for the wrong reasons
. There is still a small chance one of the top 3 fall if a trade goes down
I don't think i can be at work today... too much angst, excitement and anticipatory disappointment running through me

So ridiculously disappointing. Here's to hoping Hinkie does some Hinkie-like stuff and takes someone other than one of the top 3. Or, my ultimate hope, that the Lakers/Sacramentio take Okafor at 2 and then some team give's Hinkie an offer he can't refuse involving future draft picks (aka "Hinkie Heroin") to take Porzingis at 3 and Russell falls to us...
I dont think there is any chance anyone from the top three falls to us. Sometimes people are stupid, but not this stupid.
I am hoping that we either gamble on getting a future star and take Mudiay, or trade down and go for a more proven quantity like Kaminsky or Payne, plus assets. I dont see anyone else being a good risk-reward proposition.

Lakers if think Russell will be a star, they can sign Aldridge or maybe Love. If so, they can infuse Randle, Love/Gasol/Aldridge. Russell into the starting line up this year with Clarkson.
Im Lakes I give the 2 and maybe Clarkson but thats it.

Love and Aldridge are UFAs. Why would the Lakers have to give up the #2?

Thats my view, and......Cousins is not on his rookie contract either. Thus I don't see cousins as a premium. Really, Lakers must be asking for Cousins and the 6th pick if Randle is any part of the discusson. Thats the only way anything makes sense. Cousins is only 25 and POTENTIALLY better than Aldridge and Love but the dude got bad attitude.
Gotta hope Zinga goes top 3!!!!!!!

What does it say?
I hope Phil has the stones to take Zingis! If Melo is not on board we can trade him!!!
Nalods Hope:
1. Oka4
2. Russell
3. The Zinger
4. Mundiay
If we Trade down, the starphuch won't be apparent but I hope Phil gets two guys that make him look brilliant over the next two years.
Yep, Two years. The Drunk Teens at the draft tonite can hoot and hollar but reality is nobody knows until we get to year three!!!
Justise Winslow will be a knick.

Thats my point, they take Russell and sign one of those guys.
Even if Oka4 falls out of top 2, Philly would take him and trade him.

Yes, he is a valuable asset, unless they very much value Mundiay as a potential long term star player.
Both mocks just moved Turner up over Lyles. Its expected I read Turner was one of the best workout guys wherever he went and he comes with shotblocking and a better and extended touch. I think its a guy the Knicks did not investigate enough.

They had him in for a workout on 6/23.
