Keep your assets high for future moves.

With the value of this pick, you would expect more than just a future 1st. At least a second rounder as well.

Not excited with our first move.

KnickDanger @ 7/29/2021 10:08 PM

I'm good with trading 19 -- no info on year or lottery protection of Hornets future #1 but it could be a good gamble.

NYKMentality @ 7/29/2021 10:08 PM

did we trade 19 or 21?

I don't want freaking Kai Jones!!!

Uptown @ 7/29/2021 10:09 PM

If we pick Garuba @ 21

Bouk hurts a little, Kai is a major project and I'm not sure I have the patience for that.

I'll turn off tv for that as well. Gimme value damnit.

VDesai @ 7/29/2021 10:10 PM

I'm not into Kai, but not sure I understand the trade with the talent on the board

KnickDanger @ 7/29/2021 10:10 PM

Thinking Thibs don't give a f@%k about any first rounders?

TPercy @ 7/29/2021 10:10 PM

Just gimme Cooper and Bassey and this is a good night

True...Kai will look good playing with Lamelo....

Eh, we might not see him for a few years with the buyout. Let him develop in a high class organization and bring him in when he's ready.

Why so much Keon hate- best athlete in the draft. Lot of upside. Could be Spree like.

McBride

Chandler @ 7/29/2021 10:11 PM

That was a smart move. Knicks didn’t want Kai. They can get a big later. Delayed gratification

Knicksfan @ 7/29/2021 10:11 PM

Is this the type of excitement of a Thibs’ coached team at the draft? Trading the first 1st rounder you have? Are we trading all out picks for future picks so we never make a draft selection again because youth sucks.

Nah, I’m just bitter. Don’t like this move but whatever.

SupremeCommander @ 7/29/2021 10:11 PM

I would be pretty pumped with Keon Johnson...

HofstraBBall @ 7/29/2021 10:11 PM

Guess there were not multiple Kentucky guys to use the 19th pick for. Jackson our only pick??

If its unprotected we are a Lamelo Ball injury away from a lottery pick.

TPercy @ 7/29/2021 10:12 PM

Keon sucks. Keon has no real skill. NO KEON NO KEON NO KEON.

NYKBocker @ 7/29/2021 10:12 PM

So Knicks rolling the dice and saying Hornets are a lottery team again next year

NYKMentality @ 7/29/2021 10:12 PM

Please be Sharife Cooper @ 21 and then I'll LOVE the trade to Charlotte because they stink and can give us a top 1-5 overall lottery pick!

Sharife Cooper or I'm turning my TV off ;-(
