It would be nice if Chicago would start losing again too

Kanter clearly couldn’t score with Boogie defending him, so why not have Noah in instead who could defend Boogie much better. (this assuming we wanted to win)

Knicks currently at 12 and dropping with a long way to go. We need to root like crazy for the Lakers to keep winning so that neither Boston nor Philly draft ahead of us. Getting to 6 would be a minor miracle, though.

Bad news is our 2nd rounder from Chicago keeps getting worse.

The goal should be to draft one of Mikal Bridges or Troy Brown Jr. and then steal Jalen Brunson in the second round.

…Mikal Bridges, SF, Villanova. I’ll take that!

Just got in. Yikes, another fold job. Good for the tank, though.

I can see it now: 2018 NBA Comeback Player of the Year Jarrett Jack.

Jokes and clairvoyance aside, the presence of Bridges, Porter and Sexton in this 6-10 range is why the Knicks should tank no matter if they can reach the top 5 or not. I believe the drop in potential from theses guys to dudes like Jackson, Miles Bridges, Shake Milton or Kevin Knox is quite big.
