I want to weigh in on the Randle trade. He’s not overpaid for what he does. He did have a bad playoff series but e also had a good one. Trading a good, fairly paid player for nothing isn’t the way to improve your team. Of course cap space is worth something, but I think Randle gets a bad rap. Every team he’s played for has ended up using him extensively and gotten results.

lol Donnie, why does opining that this isn’t some dynastic roster, just a solid one with an outside shot at repeating trolling? I think we are squarely in the mix with all the teams going back to the Durant GSWs. And I very much doubt that any one of our current bench players is the difference between repeating or not. I expect that our bench will be fine, 2nd apron or no 2nd apron.

I’m fully expecting the Knicks to punt on 24, probably for a couple of seconds. They will more likely make the 31st pick or trade down for 2 later ones. Seems pretty predictable, no?

Wish Leon punted already…no reason to wait until the last minute unless he’s adding Deuce and trying to move up a few spots. Im perfectly fine with picking that spanish kid and stashing him down there for a couple of years.

Maybe now we know why Tim Bontemps was so skeptical of the Knicks throughout this playoff run: he’s in talks to join the Atlanta Hawks’ front office!

What happens to Hoop Collective if this happens?

Mara being mocked around #14. Is Deuce plus our top pick too much? Deuce and our #31 would probably get it done.

I keep seeing Mara projected to the Warriors and I wonder if they’d rather have Deuce and the 24.

“I really hope they just draft BPA at 24 and 31, with no extraneous bullshit, and put them on the roster — but I’m well aware that we’re getting to Lucy perpetually pulling the football from Charlie Brown territory with this one, with me as CB.”

Possibly, but there was one big thing that happened lately that might change the way Leon is approaching the draft this year.
