I don’t care about saving the reality that was bad pick with talent on board.
Man Cameron Carr was sitting right there

Looking him up. If he was MVP material he may be ready to contribute
Looks like a Shamet replacement, what do you think?
Tall 2ndary ball handler and shot creator for others with the goal to compliment Brunson and feed teammates.
Need a inside presence.
We need length to guard Cade. Shai. And San Antonio guards.

Knick interest was noted in a Jake Fischer reference about the Knicks wanting to move 1 of their 2 top picks - though not sure that actually came from Fischer or someone else. I went and looked at about 10 minutes of his tape and there is stuff to like. Big +6'5" ball handling guard who has a nice bounce to his game with hesi's, euro's - just a well rounded looking feel for the game. Doesn't look like an outstanding athlete but maybe more in the Nano De Colo or Sergio Lull type game.
Someone with size who can handle and play off/with Brunson.
Not sure if Knicks looking at PG's but watching some tape of the Stanford freshman PG Ebuka Okorie out of Maine (avg 23 per game this season). Just watching him and the name that popped into my head was Hot Rod Strickland. Kid is super talented with the ball and fearless (but super creative) attacking the rim. Shows him at +6'2" but under 190 lbs -- but very creative (downhill with the ball). Talkathon has him #24 on their big board.
De Larrea was mentioned a week or so ago by Fischer in association with Knicks --- I like his size and his film. Big, ball handling guard with vision, passing and understanding/feel for the game. Think his 3fg% was ~39% in limited minutes.
Stash him - save ~$3M under apron and let him develop MAYBE into something.
I like it TBH.
Joshua Jefferson at #31 please
To me this means we are bringing back the crew .

I like this pick as the kid is a pro, and the youngest mvp a big guard that can bring the ball up … we have great euro scouts that found Mo so I really trust this pick .
Plus welcome back Mitch !

NO - Knicks will sign Shamet.
It's Mitch I wonder about -- IF he wants big deal.
This kid is a lottery ticket you stash and save $3.2M under the 2nd apron.
Wonder if we could somehow get our hands on E Missi using Deuce/other assets and let Mitch walk.

me too. I never heard of the guy until about a week ago and mentioned him in some of the threads. Young tall can handle the ball and shoot
we needed size back there.
YEP +1 on the above comments.

It’s ok. He’s slow and doesn’t do anything particularly well in my opinion
De Larrea is basically the new Jokubaitis.

Carr SG – Baylor – HT: 6-5 1/2 – WT: 184 – WING: 7-0 3/4 – So – A long, lanky guard with a picture-perfect jumper and great above the rim ability. Needs to add strength and develop his frame but finally had his breakout season this year and is a first round lock. One of the best pure shooters in the draft class.PLAYER COMP: Jaylon Tyson+, Devin Vassell

I trust our scouts. They've done a good job so far.
Going overseas to grab undervalued talent is a good strategy
Our international players for the moment are Mo, Dadiet, Huk, Sochan and this new guy
I'm with this guy ☝️

They know what they want to do --- just a ? of whether they can get Mitch on favorable deal and if not what they going to do with Deuce in terms of finding a Mitch replacement.
I think Shamet stays - teammates love him, plays D and now loved in NY.
Can say same about Mitch but his contract going to be more concerning AND he's going on 30 with lots of injuries and ZERO offensive game.

Guy looks like a legit first round prospect from the scouting reports, vids and even projections (supposedly CLE had their eyes on him).
Savvy move if he is stashed and we do run it back somehow (hope that everyone that has to takes the pay cut to keep the champs together.

McCullar is ready for that role so as long as he is coming back then this feels like a stash pick and a cap move like most think at this point

Randle literally being dumped with Minn having to add a higher pick in the deal is just pure I don't know what.
Minny needed more $$$ so moved out of the 1st BUT still they basically are counting on addition by subtraction with Julius spin move going to BKLYN.
Now the question is who do we take at 31
