The Tank Battle of the Ping Pong Balls

Who's going to win this crap fest?


Silver has it fixed for the Warriors to get #1. Pels have Lakers pick swap I believe so they will be 2 and 3 respectively.

Cam with 5 points and 3 in the first quarter so far.

Man... Kyrie is talented. That Maverick pick is probably the one we should've traded.

This is why I get frustrated as a Knicks fan. Our last "draft pick" is joining Lebron James as a rookie.
30 points, 17 rebounds and 4 blocks. Let me know when Mitch, Sims or IHart gets in this range. I believe Mitch had 20 rebounds before, but doubt he ever gets 30 points (on putbacks.)

Since you're going to go there, Mitchell Robinson once scored 23 points in 29 mins, which is higher per min avg than Duran's 30 in 42 (double OT).

He's scored 22 in 27 mins, which is an even better rate.

Grimes got 33/6/4 earlier this season.

This sort of stuff is just too easy...

Nets have a nice mix of 2-way wings...Of course their dreams of competing for a chip this year is dead, but they are still going to be a tough out.

Too many wings to all get meaningful time. Plus a boat load of incoming picks Hopefully the Knicks can get Bridges, Cam, or even Watanabe who may just sign as a free agent.

Have you looked at Duren's shot chart? Pretty much all at the rim with no outside game. How is that any different than Mitch? Duren appears to be a very good rebounder with solid interior D even as a rookie. But I'm always careful about budding "all-stars" (at least that's what some are calling him on this board) on crappy teams.

So nothing against Jalen Duren, but he is the current focus of draft regret for some Knicks fans. Never mentioned is that trading that pick has brought us future assets. Also never mentioned is what he would bring to the table to play ahead of Mitch when healthy. Or would he push the valuable IHart and Sims to the bench? Or that he is doing it on a lottery team. And haven’t we learned not to blow your wad on one game?

Seems like a fine young player though.

Can or should we sign Stanley Johnson ?

Could do worse for a deep bench contributor.

Are you going to give us Duren’s stats from tonight’s game? Didn’t think so….

Ouch! I hope Dame, Grant and Simons can figure out a way to use Cam right before he goes complaining to an assistant coach.

Shouldn't a player be safe in confiding his frustration to a coach ?

Remember that picture that had Zion, KD and Kyrie all in knick uniforms together? We dodged three bullets.

And remember all the clowning the Knicks received for their “fail” in acquiring them?
