OT: NBA Discussion Thread: Part III

[YoSoyLalo]

Did he want Porter? The medically on his back were disastrous.

He’s not a Knicks fan but he thinks the Knicks should have taken the risk.

 

[sabremike]

They just compared the guy Charlotte drafted to Michael Carter Williams. Hornets fans everywhere must be rejoicing they are trading him to the Clippers after hearing that.

 

[darko]

I wanted Sexton-****ing Cavs...but like the Knox pick

I was hoping you guys grab Sexton as well.

 

[Fvital92]

Seriously, wtf is wrong with the nba? Why the f*** they made these rookies wear the hat from a team when they were already traded?

 

[East Coast Bias]

What is wrong with Philly? So so stupid.

He was perfect for them. At some point you gotta come out of the rebuild and go for it.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

My brother is flipping out (bad way) over the Knox pick

The next 3 guys were all better. Holiday and Williams are value picks.

 

[NYRKING30]

Forgive me if this has been answered. Whats the deal with that reporter from ESPN tweeting out the first 6 picks? Does the NBA draft operate different or is this guy Edward Snowden for the NBA?

The teams tell him.

 

[NYRKING30]

The teams tell him.

Why? Lol. Well I guess thats the NBA for you.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Do yourself a favor and read the scouting report on Mitchell Robinson (Knicks 2nd rounder)

The contrasts btw positives and negatives is hilariously wide.

This team has broken my heart too many times, but I think I'm slowly warming up to the idea of watching the knicks more often again. It should be interesting to see how this new coach & the kids do with all of the pressure off with KP potentially out all year...at least until Dolan gets distract by a new shiny & f***s everything up again.

If the coach is as good at developing young players as everyone is saying he is; then maybe Porzi will come back to find Knox & Ntilikina are ready to start sidekicking it up with him. Which in turn, actually gets Kyrie excited enough to do something as stupid as spending part of his prime trying to save the knicks...

...plus I like the idea of using our 2nd rounder on a mobile & talented 7 footer who was a top 11 recruit a year ago; before he sat out a whole season due to mysterious NCAA shenanigans. I'm all for giving this "developmental" coach as much raw talent to develop as we can.

 

[Cassano]

What's worse is next year's draft is shit. Picking the worst year for KP to miss a season.

If Frank & Knox get a lot of minutes & grow, I don't care too much if next years pick ends up just a role player.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

LEBRON, KCP, Lance Stevenson, and Javale McGee are LAKERs! I've been a fan since 75. LAKERS VS KNICKS FINALS! Knicks sign Hezonja.

 

[darko]

Knicks picked up what I think is a pretty good player in Hezonja. Misused by Orlando.

Disagree. If you like top 5 Euro picks, Doncic will be a top 4 rookie, as good as Kukoc, and maybe the 2nd best Euro ever. We're going to the Lakers/Hawks game.

What does Doncic have to do with Hezonja?

Mudiay 2.0.

 

[darko]

Mudiay 2.0.

Wouldn't be surprised if Hezonja averages 20 per game.

Agreed. Love taking a flyer on him.

Did you get drunk off the LBJ news and somehow end up on the Rangers board celebrating the Lakers with a bunch of Knicks fans?

 

[East Coast Bias]

Count me as a liking the Hezonja move too. When Orlando had a lot of injuries and he got starter minutes, he was good.

 

[a tribe cq]

Hezonja move is great, if he comes anywhere close to his potential it's a win.

 

[Rangers in 7]

First take out here telling me that the lakers will win the championship in two years because of Lebron......hahahahaha

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Mudiay 2.0.

Agreed. Bust 2.0
