I couldn’t agree more, just stick with one of the Bridges or Carter or Young if they fall. Don’t blow the pick or make a stupid trade giving up future valuable assets which would set them back even further.

The Knicks brass idiot meter seems to be spiking unless they suddenly have become smart and are actuallybeing clever. We’ll see, the more I hear and read the less confident I am of a good outcome. Meanwhile the Lakers are on the verge of getting 2 or 3 very good/great players, of course….

If we develop his rebounding, defense, ball handling and playmaking then baby we got something.

This is exactly how I feel. Just draft the guy who is already good at shit, not the guy who’s “a good athlete” and “oozes potential” yet somehow puts up pedestrian numbers when he gets a chance to play. We had this same stupid ass argument over Emmanuel Mudiay just a few short months ago. “If he can learn to finish, and works on his shot, and improves his defense, and makes better decisions, he could be really good!”

I can’t believe this isn’t blindingly obvious but on the other hand, Knicks.

With Sexton and Knox, the big problem is not that a team might bet on them, but that they’re precisely the type of player that we all knew, we knew that the Knicks were going to like months ago, whether they are actually good or not, because of Mills’ very specific idea of what he looks for in players. The same school of thought that sent Willy packing and brought in THJ and Mudiay.

Trey, meanwhile, had to blow people out of the water for months in the G-League to get a chance, because he doesn’t fit their typical mold.

I trust Givony a lot and he has no reason to make this up but man, just how stupid some of these dudes can be. I’m firmly on the “front offices are often ran by stupid people” group but this is a whole new level of insanity. I just hope against reason the Knicks are not one of those teams but they probably are in the list.

At this point I just want them to draft someone obvious. Just go for either of the Bridges or Carter Jr. or Young if they’re available and call it a day. Drafting a complete bust this year would be a tragedy we really cannot afford. I’m a swing for the fences guy but I feel the fences are like 500 feet away with Knox or Sexton.

I saw there list of possible trades. I don’t know what they are smoking, because I can’t see why NY would do this. We trade our best defender who can also score for a terrible defender who can score. They are both coming back from injuries, except that Kyrie gets back earlier. Getting a player back from injury sooner and getting rid of Noah’s contract doesn’t help us much because we aren’t in win now mode, at least I very much hope we are not. So why do that trade?

It was one of those “LOL Knicks” arguments. Now, don’t get me wrong, I think the Knicks organization is still a bad one, but that doesn’t mean I think you should suggest dumb trades just because “LOL Knicks.” The article even notes, “Why wouldn’t they just wait?” and essentially explains it as, “Because the Knicks are dumb.”

Phoenix and Sacramento are clearly bad teams. But what about Atlanta and Memphis, or the Knicks for that matter.
