Numbers this season don't tell that story


Barrett is going to be shit in this league. He can't shoot

Yep. He had a poor, inconsistent season for someone of his supposed talent and stature and surrounded by it.

It's not very exciting to me, but I thought I read the Knicks like him. We're desperate for a point, but if we're getting Kyrie, no way do we draft him or keep the pick anyway.

I agree with the above mentioned that rj is the number 2 because of Conley.... Ja is a knick

Nah...Griz almost traded Conley this yr...They are taking Ja and will move the aging Conley

They may take Ja, but who is going to take on Conley and that contract? If anything, they'll have to keep both.

The only consolation I have is that the Cavs and Suns and Bulls didn't get Zion. But Zion is going to be in NO only for his rookie contract watch.

Wtf!

Top 3 had the same chance! Same percentage! Only us remained in the Top 3! We know how unlucky our franchise has been! We all secretly expected the 5th pick because it would’ve been the worst outcome!

We have the third pick, fellas!! Yes, we didn’t “move up” to the top, nor the desired 2nd spot, but the third is great news for our franchise. We still have a chance at Ja and Barrett is a solid get with our pick!

I know, no reason to go out naked screaming with joy, but no reason to be angry. WE could’ve been the Suns! We could’ve been the Bulls. We kept the 14% and have a chance at a cornerstone.

Things still look up!

You do realize Knicks fans are know it all cry babies right? The kid crying after the KP pick was our most mature fan. Lmao

If we get Barrett, we did well. Losers are Cavs and Suns. Not us.

Personally, I think there's a drop off from Ja to Barrett. The difference between 2 and 3 was huge in my opinion. Certainly better than 4 or below, but I went into this thinking we HAD to get one of the top two picks.

Forgot you were 12

Barrett's is a player in this league...dude is a bull taking the ball to basket, has a scorer's mentality, has legit 2 guard size and he is left. He is 19 yrs old, plenty of time and hard work and he can improve his shot. He is a much better prospect than all of the dudes behind him. It could be worse....

And yet it could be so much better. Let Zion and RJ play together in NO. #3 + Dallas 2 picks + filler for AD none of which includes Mitch or Knox or IsoZo

ekstarks94 @ 5/14/2019 9:22 PM
Despite the 3rd pick we were real freaking lucky...of the top 4 picks...Lakers moved up 7 spots....Memphis and NO moved up 6....we dropped 2,..crazy

Because neither of them will ever improve? One year left on his deal, and you dont want to see if DSjr can come back with a better shot? You ever shoot the ball with disc problems? I have. Cant believe anyone is calling it on DSjr or a player who has yet to play one NBA game.

DSJr is not a smart player. Frank is a smart player but not athletic....I don't want either one of them. Ja Morant please. read my post above.

Does the unprotected Dallas pick go to the Knicks in the double draft? Knicks get 2021 and 2023 now from Dallas.

Anyone who shares the rock as much as DSjr does, given his athleticism, and ability to get to the rim, almost at will. Is a smart player. Players out there with Smith jr's athletic ability who are much happier calling their own number, like Kyrie.

Smith isnt a finished product, but you talk like he's been in the league so long that any improvement in his game is a longshot. Most dynamic PG we've had in decades, and you want to ship him out in spite of some big games, and a cap friendly contract. Dont see the rush, thats how you end up trading players before you know for sure what they can do for the team.

I agree with this we did luck out picking top 3

smackeddog @ 5/14/2019 9:35 PM
I'm relieved - could have been better, could have been worse.

I really wanted Zion or Ja, but you look at what happened to the Bulls and sun's and it could have been a lot worse.

For me this pick raises a lot of questions - will the Griz go for Ja or RJ (probably Ja), could we trade up with them? If the pelicans can't persuade AD to stay would they do a trade around the third pick and reunite Zion and RJ? Or will RJ turn out better than he's hyped to at the moment?or do we trade down with the lakers (I still like DeAndre Hunter)?

Hmm, lots of uncertainty until draft night

I don't necessarily disagree, but let me take the other side. Ja played AAU ball with Zion. Yet it seems like Ja came out of nowhere. Late bloomer? Idiot scouts? Maybe he tore up a weaker conference a la Jimmer?

Papabear Says

This is why I stopped watching the games. We have such hard luck and now we are once again ready to trade away our prospects. When I think of Houston I think of the Knicks because no matter how good Houston is they will always have to get pass the Golden State just like us and MJ and the Bulls.

magicTs @ 5/14/2019 9:44 PM
The New York Knicks receive a 2021 unprotected first-round pick and 2023 top-10 protected first-round pick after the Mavs did not make it into top-5 of the NBA Draft. The Kristaps Porzingis trade already paying off for the Knicks.

I like Morant a lot and would be happy with him but he did play weaker competition compared to RJ and Zion. That doesnt mean he wont be as good or better but its something to remember
Knicksfan @ 5/14/2019 9:56 PM
RJ or Ja, we get a good prospect with ya of potential.

We survived the lottery.

Good quote by Pat. I mean we are getting a hell of a prospect. A kid once considered the top pick and who knows maybe his games translates better.
