Knicks · Wonder who in the Knicks camp wanted Halliburton over Toppin? (page 1)

martin wrote:What does that have to do with Woods though? Stay on topic man

IQ is a Christian, which happens to Wood's first name. As we all know, there isn't room for TWO big-time Christians on the same team. If the Knicks drafted Hal, they wouldn't have drafted IQ and it would have freed them up to sign Wood. Geez Martin, follow along!

To be fair, I do agree with you and would have LOVED and wanted a draft of both IQ/Hali

Time will tell on this one

After 13 games its time for regret already?
Shutter to think we’d put wiseman in the Kwame Brown pile after a 20 game stint had we drafted him.

This isn't Pokemon. Can't have them all. For every Anthony Randolph, Jimmer Fredette and Morris Almond you sign, you're going to miss out on a Christian Wood. Blame the gods, blame the salary cap, blame whoever. That's just the way the game is set up.

Haliburton was my original first choice. I moved off of that because of questions about Ty's athleticism and foot speed. I liked him because of his maturity and his 3pt%. I thought that would do well with the current roster.

Then the FVV/Woods infatuation set in for me. I was with Briggs on those selections. I think they would have played out well for us. I switched my top choice to Devin Vassell because I thought he would be the best pairing with the FVV/Woods. Clearly, the Knicks Jimmered the last offseason. But, IQ/Randle appear to be bailing them out.

Obi looks pretty straightforward to me... buried behind Randle and super tentative as he gets no plays called for him. Its also 20 games. If it puts me in the minority fine but I 100% believe Obi will be a walking bucket stud and people will be digging up "remember when people wanted Hali over Obi " threads

Linsanity was a Christian before Imsanity was though, so don't forget about that angle

And so was Landry Fields, and the connection between Fields and Woods is almost self-evident, but who cares...

Exactly! That's why the Knicks had to let Jeremy go. Not enough room for him and Landry on the same roster.

Why? Those 2 could of played together

I have my doubts. I see a player with no position. No hope in guarding on the perimeter and no hope of defending centers in the paint. Im still very confused what they saw in him.

I believe Obi will pan out. If that ends up being the case, would rather draft a quality big, and a potential PG of the future. Avoid a "QB controversy" like with Jackson and Strickland, way back when.
