I know it's tough but if we end up with a stud in the draft this will all be worth it. I'll be ecstatic to have been wrong about this year's team if we end up with an impact player.

We saw that when Bargs was wearing the # 14.


You mean Chris Copeland?

I mean Jason Smith. 77 = 14

Incorrect. 77 can go to the hole.

This year is a wash. Looks like we're a lock for top 3 in the lottery.

Winnning basketball is not easy to play when you don't have talent on the roster. The Knicks need to acquire a second scorer in the worst way. Buy it if need be, or draft it. We need a second guy that can carry the load so we don't rely so much on o e player.

Hey! If you're fixing my post, I would think that you would open your own quotes. He's only played in his third game. We'll see.

Why are barg and Amare still getting minutes is beyond me. This order can't come from Phil Jackson, I think fisher is the stubborn one who is Adamant about seeing what barg can do

We don't know exactly who we'd be drafting but that person would likely be an upgrade given who we play now. Besides whoever we draft I hope that we can develop them into a more complete player than they are in college right now. If it's Towns, Okafor, Russell, Mudiay... We need to add more talent to this team.

With 30 games left they're gonna see what Bargs can do. Makes no sense at this point to just not play him. Amar'e is likely gonna be bought out and move on. They're not gonna shelve him at this point if he can play. There's a lot going on here. Young Player development and vets trying to show what the have either for here or somewhere else.

Why should we play him. First of all i guarantee he will be reinjured within a week or 2. Secondly we cant even trade him for a 2nd rounder at this point. Id rather just cut him because everytime i look a him i realize how Toronto owned us.

seems like the focus on "talent" has to do with one end of the court. we need two-way players, and a real talent will end up producing more or giving up less and net out as a positive-sum player, a difference maker.

so i ask again, do any of the collegians you deem "talented" remotely promise to match this criteria?

Great draft resources especially if you don't watch a lot of college ball. I prefer draftnet but draftexpress does a really nice job with their video scouting reports.
