I'm out of words right now, can't believe Phil pulled it off.
I can't either. Getting the 19th for Hardaway was amazing.
Love the trade but knowing our luck timmy will probably turn into a all star
Jerian Grant is
an excellent passer
very good at creating his own offense and an offense for
a leader- almost took his team to the final four against the #1 ranked team
Unlike Hardaway he can defend! very well!
This guy is going to be awesome! I've rooting for this guy since day 1
Now people can get off Phil's back cuz this was a GREAT MOVE!!! There's no other words for it but GREAT. THJ wasn't going to cut it and Jerian is a much better player IMO. Phil is giving the team a future and a present.

Except that Jerian can shoot it better.
I'm going to read Phils book tonight. I am so proud of this organization for the first time in a while. Great value and fills a huge need. Couple decent free agents, and Phil has made his mark on this team. Just a great night to be a Knicks fan. This turned out so much better than any of us could've hoped for.
Wow! Great swap in our favor. Grant's a much better player than Hardaway. nice job Phil! Keep it coming!!!
true floor general on both ends. Home run
Fantastic fantastic fantastic move. Love this kid.
He will be the fan favorite from this draft.
this makes me feel slightly better...
i guess the common theme is that he wants ppl who are just about ball...
grant's not without warts... but he has a shot... he's got good character...

Somebody- might have been one of his coaches- just tweeted Hahn and told him that Grant would be teaching the triangle to the other players on the Knicks.
He's also a character guy and a leader.
Stunning move.

Kris and Jerian are the future of this team now. We've got a FUTURE!!! The team isn't just stuck with whatever happens with Melo. This is a great draft especially if Kris reaches his potential.
This is what it feels like to be excited about basketball again. I love it.
