Official 2019 NYK offseason thread. Brooklyn knick fans check in

[dmvisrnb]

Damn yall are depressing AF

How we gonna get a top pick with the entire fanbase basically predicting and asking for a bad pick? I know many probably don't believe in the Law of Attraction, but that **** is real . I'm confident things are gonna change for the Knicks but not if we don't start acting like it...

[|A-Man|]

I'll start acting like it when things actually change.

 

[8pm at msg]

We had our draft pick for consecutive years, that’s a big change

 

[throwback1718]

I thought with the worst record the lowest we get is a #5 ?

 

[keko jones]

Yes, thus the % would be higher because it is a guaranteed spot at worst. People just equate that to highest chance.

Not sure what kind of math is that, so I just let it be.

 

[nick.]

I hope we finish as the #1 slot. Can't afford to fall out of the top 5.

 

[you go boy]

thats a good sign but they dont know how to draft guys with that pick... look at frank

 

[keko jones]

Look at KP. That's 50 50

 

[Air Pope]

Look at KP. That's 50 50

Dudes just wanna complain man

y’all still don’t understand the chart or how probability works

If the worst record has a 14% chance at #1, 13.4% chance at #2, 12.7% chance at #3, 12% chance at #4, and is guaranteed a top 5 pick, then what is the chance of getting #5?

100 - 14 - 13.4 - 12.7 - 12 = 47.9%

Therefore, the worst record has the highest percentage chance at getting #5

Technically, ANY team in the lottery can end up with #1

It’s really simple math

 

[donewithjs]

There is no way any big names are coming here with this wacko as the owner.

Exactly, they have a 52.1% chance to land a top 4 and the very worst 47.9% 5th spot.

The funny part is that at the 2nd and 3rd spot they have the same exact odds at the top 3 picks only difference is they can end up with 6 and 7th.

So why exactly do you not want the worst record?

Again is guaranteeing a 5th pick ...

Simple math.

Simple math.

Bc were the Knicks and we’ll end up with the 5th pick. It’s easier to accept the 5th pick if we finished 2nd to last.

For reference

 

[the 718 truth]

Y’all want me to watch the Knicks and do math?

Let’s just make the best of this #5

 

[njavier03]

At this point, math is much easier than having to watch this team

 

[Coupé It]

There is no way any big names are coming here with this wacko as the owner.

Yup, we traded a Unicorn because we’re going to get KD.... Dolan knows what he’s doing

 

[njavier03]

We traded him bc he wanted out...

 

[Mark Antony]

Slobknob on the back of a Jersey would be too fire not to cop.

Wheeling and dealing like corn on the cob.

 

[ballinsam23]

Yea we need to stay in the top 5. Continuously drafting in the 7-10 range is a recipe for mediocracy. Unless you strike gold, you'll end up with zero franchise changing talent and a bunch of role players in that range.

Luck is still involved, but getting top 5 picks is where the real talent is. All of these guys are better than any young player we have. Keeping KP would've had us in this category as well, paring him with Zion/Barret/Ja/ but we know what happened with that.

Sixers (2 top 5 picks) = Embiid and Simmons
Kings (2 top 5 picks) = Fox and Bagley
Lakers (3 top 5 picks) = Ingram, Ball, DLo
Celtics (2 top 5 picks) = Brown, Tatum

Zion dunking and knocking down the 3 ball

 

[floodarea]

Just realized I completely forgot Wesley Matthews was on our team for like 2 weeks

 

[njavier03]

Zion dunking and knocking down the 3 ball

Zero rust. Dude is killing Cuse.
