Official 2017-2018 Knicks season thread

[illoquent aka dsk]

I mean we are gonna have another lost season with KP out most likely. Of all the teams to take developmental players it makes a lot of sense for us.

I’m with you. Just wishful thinking on my part since Frank needs time too.

I generally lean towards taking the risk of raw higher upside talent and hoping it pans out.

KP looks like he put on some weight, and I don’t mean those jugs

 

[doxen5703]

Those shots by Enes are impressive. Need to see that with someone in his face though.

 

[ballinsam23]

No ones gonna guard those shots. If he’s gonna take 3s in game, 90% of them will be wide open. If he can actually hit at a 30-35% clip, it’ll open up the paint for everyone else.

 

[nick.]

Fizdale made Marc Gasol shoot 3's. If Kanter opts in he's gonna be taking 3's.

 

[100027]

Kanter's a skilled offensive player, no doubt he could learn to hit 3s if need be. Now, playing defense...

 

[ballinsam23]

As much as we clown on Kanter, good for him for adding that to his game. He's one of the most durable consistent players in the league, cant play defense for ****, but adding a 3 ball will at least allow u to contribute in other ways that those before him (Okafor, Monroe, etc) couldn't.

 

[njavier03]

I wouldn’t mind Kanter off the bench, bc he’s too slow and plays no defense. I wouldn’t pay him more than 15 per. I’d rather have Dwight tbh. He’s shooting 3s too now

 

[championboyz7]

Lee and Thomas for parsons and the number 4 pick ?

 

[nick.]

Don't know why but I have a feeling we won't be picking 9th on Thursday

I really dont like the idea of trading up tbh. We have zero assets as is.

Someone on twitter suggested THJr, Lance, #9, & #36 for Parsons & #4. I'd do that in a second if Doncic is available.

I'm good with any draft night trade (up or down) that doesn't include Frank or a future 1st.

 

[ballinsam23]

I'd do that too, even though we'd have the slowest backcourt in the NBA. Have we scouted Luka? Also if he's gone by 4, do u take Bamba or Trae?

 

[nick.]

I guess Bamba.

As far as scouting Luka, I'm pretty sure we've sent scouts to his games a couple times. Perry Mills saw him while they were in Europe interviewing Blatt, too.

 

[gaiiige]

doncic/bamba/JJJ at 4 if we do move up, dont like bagley but he's an option if he slips

wouldn't mind moving down either, i love shai gilgeous alexander and zhaire smith

team has been smokescreening like crazy look at all the guys we're linked to

both bridges, have the hots for trae young, teams called b/c they know the front office loves MPJ, high on wendall carter and now kevin knox/lonnie walker

 

[floodarea]

Clyde with the forever money now

 

[nick.]

We've heard nothing about Miles so he could be our guy

 

[アミーゴ]

Ugh, want no part of Miles.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Red puma Clyde's would be fire with some khakis, denim shirt, with a white tee underneath, and a Cardinals fitted

Agree about the smokescreen I mean they’ve been working out everybody and expressing interest in everybody. I like it.

Finally now he can move out of that old house in St Croix

Jay Z just made a deal with puma as well.

[pauliepeppas]

Teams are fools if their placing that much emphasis on one damn workout

 

[ballinsam23]

He’s a scorer/shooter that probably had an off day. Happens.
