Official 2017-2018 Knicks season thread

Didn't move down

Can't remember a year when Sacramento wasn't top 4

They only got a top 4 pick (Tyreke Evans) once in the last 20+ years

I don't think they've ever been top 4, they always get hosed

edit: Tyreke was the only year

Why it seems like they always there

 

[nick.]

I'd try to get Skal or WCS from Sacramento

No surprise

I hate Knicks' no. 9 history

Last time, we had no. 9. It was in 2003

Edit: Outside of Knicks, no. 9 pick history looks nice. I hope we find our own Tracy McGrady

Cuz they are trash. They just always lose the lottery

Didn't move down

What matters most

At 9 Young seems like actually decent value.

i know some ppl don't like trae but if he falls to 9 you gotta roll the dice with him

I'm not in love with him but considering our desperate need at PG I think it could be a good play.

 

[nick.]

I wish we had more of an established core so we could swing for the fences with Zhaire Smith

 

[100027]

We might've stayed pat tonight but at least we aren't trapped in Grand Central with no Metro North trains.

This is kind of a weak draft, but there are 9 players I can see helping the Knicks, so I guess I'm glad we didn't fall further back. I'll be happy with either of the Bridges. Not sure which one I like more tho. Mikal is obviously more polished, and can already shoot and defend at a high level, but Miles has more athletic upside and I like how he plays w/ an edge. Would lean towards Miles just bc of personality/style, even though Miles does have some bust potential.

The only pick of the top 10-11 guys that would upset me would be Wendell Carter. He just doesnt seem to have a nba game or athleticism and would have no place next to KP. I also don't think much of the 2 kids from Kentucky (Shai or Knox).

 

[nick.]

We got the 36th pick, too

 

[you go boy]

mikal or sexton would be good picks imo

 

[nick.]

Can't go wrong with one of the Bridges

 

[doxen5703]

Knicks need to go snatch Zion mad years early.

 

[njavier03]

We just need to continue to be trash, so we can get my fellow Canadian next year or Zion

 

[goldenchild9]

****** really said Jaylen Brown was underwhelming and would never be the focal point of a teams offense

 

[ihust1e]

the upside is this garbage *** lottery method will change next year

hopefully for the better

and by that i mean so that we have a much more even playing field

Now we know why Mills has a job for life

No surprise. He's an Ivy League alumni after all



Good decision by KP. Real Madrid is one of the best sports clubs

 

[squatchnt]

So question for team tank. Was it worth it? Will the Knicks be able to get an impact player at 9. A player who might be impactful in the near future. Tanking for the 9th pick is so damned Knickish only player I say stay away from is M Bridges because he's already 21 going on 22, he's only got 2 years left in him

Mikal will be 22 before season start. Miles turned 20 this past March
