How many drinks thrown back before posting this....take a wild guess

What a f’ing bounce pass by Zion in the ACC finals. 3/4 court bullet bounce pass to Trey Jones. Damn.

WE dropped and at least did not have Okafor!

It doesn't change the odds but we are due. law of averages?

Atlanta is due.

They have attendance problems and they have worked really hard in tough circumstances to build their team over and over again.

Financially, for the entire league, Atlanta's situation is pretty horrible across the total bottom line. When they have Millsap, Korver, Horford, Teague, etc, that was a time where a prime FA could have pushed that team over the top.

If the league cares about the bottom line for all franchises, Atlanta is due to get the top pick overall soon.

F...ATL....folks are in the strip clubs anyway...

WE ARE DUE....

Zion in NY would be sick

There are some attendances that cannot be cured....Atlanta is one of them. Zion or anybody else...Atlanta is a football town and now with Atlanta United winning MLS...it's also a soccer town...NHL MLB NBA...2nd fiddle.

Just awaiting that #5 pick to arrive in a weak draft.

Spencer Pearlman's recent assessment of the draft is...I dunno...just a tad bit depressing given how bad we are this year, unless you are the king of homers.

Yes, it may work out just fine, but rather ironic that one of the worst seasons in our history is also one of the most PowerBall like drafts in memory (Zion or bust!), as I can recall. We won it with Ewing, but I was barely a fan then so means little to me.

The tinge of hope in free agency is highly prevalent, but is really one of those things where you do wonder if fans' hopes are once again too high, too low, or too "balanced" in contrarianism as seems to be the dynamic of Knick fans based on my experience.

Anyway...we'll all "live," Dolan will still own the team, and the Nets will still have fewer fans for now.

We shall over...something

Maybe he's off as there's always a "chance," sure, but basically, his view is if you don't get Zion, the next 3 picks he would trade down from. Is that normal?? This seems really quite bad for teams that don't win the lottery, or is highly risky for teams as bad as we are.

If we had a "typical Knicks" season of being in the 6-9 pick range, this of ALL years, based on evidence - and he is basing it on evidence not "feelings" - would be more ideal as we'd get better value.

The risk-reward is better with Zion the prize, but some "big" prospects are not really showing enough to warrant top 5. That's the real f**k you to us. We always whined that top 5 was needed to get top talent, but one of the few seasons we are in that range, is one of the seasons where we don't see that kind of talent available after #1.

WE ARE LIKELY NOT GETTING ZION.

That's the smart answer we need to come to terms with.

I could be wrong, but it's just probability.

yep, we're not getting Zion and likely will end up with the 4th or 5th pick. Make peace with it now and avoid crushing disappointment in May

SI dropping Barrett to 4th,and moving Ja Morant to 2nd and Culver to 3rd

I can still see Barrett turning into a star. His shooting will improve.

Yeah, I have zero clue why he brought up those players.

But sure, I’ll play:

Frank: I think he can be great and I think his shot can improve as well. He has all of the physical tools. His mentality is holding him back severely.

Dennis: He can also be great. He’s inconsistent though. He can improve his shot and he has that ability. If he does, the league should look out. I am pretty sure he has a history of character and work-ethic issues though. That can hold him back.

Lance: His game is what it is. I like him but he’s not improving significantly at this point.

Timmy: His game is what it is. He can be a nice piece coming off the bench for a good team. That might be how it is for Dallas at this time next season.

Barrett is big, athletic, left handed and from what I understand, has no character or work ethic issues. He has the ability to improve his shot and his defense. If he does, he’ll be a superstar that all of those guys you mentioned can’t dream of being besides Frank and that’s just based on potential.

shooting is at a premium in this league now...you need to have it when you enter the league...the prospects who can improve their shooting enter the league at a dime a dozen...i.e not very deserving of second and third chances. Barrett is not even going to bully his way to the rim like Zion can or defend like he can. Why would he be deserving of #2?

i brought up those players because they all suck at shooting.

They do but they really don’t compare to RJ. I will say this: RJ does concern me and there is NOBODY in this draft, including Zion, that’s a sure thing. I just don’t see RJ NOT improving his shot at least enough for him to be much more of a threat. I don’t have his stats but the guy is basically pure money from 15 feet and in whenever I see him. It’s his 3s that kill his % because he hits most of everything else.

He needs work on his defense.
