Rooting for all these dudes.

Still sucks we got the Mavs pick in the worst draft of the past 10 years.

 

[you go boy]

^ it dont matter what first round pick we got cuz Leon is trading it regardless

Do they want Melo to come out of retirement or something?

I like the Tyler Kolek pick. Good shooter, can make a variety of passes, not the best defender but the effort is there.

So we got a draft prospect for the future in Dadiet and a ready now guard in Kolek. Can't really complain honestly.

I wonder if a Dolan said **** it, I’ll pay to keep errbody

 

[ballinsam23]

Watching that Mitch Rob roomies interview, he sounds like he's already been traded.

I think Kolek will force himself into the rotation at some point. He's much more of a point guard than McBride.

 

[you go boy]

the people covering the draft said kolek was the best passer in the draft... kinda hyped to see him with this team...this will let duece continue to score at will without having him forced to be a PG

[pr0phecy718]

Good for him

 

[Mark Antony]

Happy he got the bag.

Nice to have someone run the 2nd unit if he's as good as advertised.

Especially since IMO McBride is better as an off the ball shooter and lock down defender. McBride while athletic as hell isn’t as shifty with the ball in his hands to create space like you want a PG to have and that’s fine. He still has a spot in the lineup for what he does exceptionally well.

Wondering what the market fitna be for free agent big Valinchunas [sp?]. Works be nice to have a real stretch 5.

That rook they took has a chance to go thru the Thibs School 4 Bigs and maybe even able to contribute sooner than later.

Team pretty much complete before the summer madness really starts.

Per athletic his value is about 7-9 million per. But he’s a huge huge defensive liabiltiy

 

[Mister Meaner]

Knicks can afford that.

 

[keko jones]

Happy for IQ, but if this is what it would have taken to keep him, we did better than I expected in the trade.
