he can play! my pet cat..maybe a Euro stash but I expect big things from him...good passer and scorer..

Herky jerky with the ball on offense- hard to keep up with him, but not the over-dribbling I hate to see. I like what I saw.

Really


Oof is that right? Not the best...

Areyou fucking shitting me?

WHY WOULD YOU TRADE FOR A PICK THAT COULD AT BEST BE EQUAL BUT OTHERWISE WORSE? What’s the point?

Only reason I can think of is this: there wasn't a trade to be made or a player the Knicks really loved with this year's pick so rather than use the pick now they kept it as an asset to be used if a trade possibility opens up in the next year. Can't really knock that strategically.

Todd is a good fit with the Nets.

Does it matter anymore since we got who we wanted anyway?

um, think if Kai Jones or Keon Johnson become superstars it will matter to fans...that trade is terrible, tells me the Knicks were the one's who initiated the trade, likely panicked when their guy got picked just ahead ... Duarte is mt guess ..

My bad, Edwards. Still solid.

What's up with Cooper?

Ridiculous. This was a planned move if the guys they wanted were gone. You don't YOLO a trade when on the clock

Cooper must have fucked someone's wife.

Yeah. Was too good to be true to not be lottery pick protected.


Oh well.


Crap trade imo.

How so? We came out of it with who we would have drafted anyway and we pay them less money since they were picked later than they would have. Plus more assets for a trade. I am not understanding why people are down on this trade.

Even more of a reason to draft him if it was Fizdale's.

VDesai @ 7/30/2021 12:03 AM
We got the same amount of players, and perhaps the 3 players we wanted, and got 2 more picks next year in the process.

Not sure but I've given up all hope that we'll draft him.


So right now I'm just praying that he just doesn't go to a division rival such as Toronto or even an Eastern Conference team and as I'm typing Toronto just passed on him.


Good.

Yeah...but it still feels like the collective fan base got cucked.

Love a smart front office. The braintrust are playing chess. Knick fans play checkers.

Bingo!

I'm staying up but what are the chances we keep this last pick?

Charles Bassey and Vrenz making it to 58? I doubt it

Witchcraft. I was worried the Knicks would trade up.

I don’t know much about Grimes - read a couple articles, but I was pretty high on Trey Murphy. Seems like next on the draft chart on the wing.

Love the McBride pick. Had no clue he would still be on the board at 36.

Don’t know Roku, but sounds like we got a free player.

Pretty happy here while hanging out looking for 58… hoping to find Jericho Sims or Vrenz Bleijenberg in our stash.

Brock has taken over the front office for sure
