Knicks Morning News (2017.05.17)

Former Knick and team broadcaster Walt Frazier says he doesn’t want to see forward Carmelo Anthony leave the Knicks organization, according to ESPN.

The Knicks were awarded with the number eight overall pick after the announcement of the NBA Draft order at the 2017 NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday evening.

Former Knick Charles Oakley told the USA Today For The Win podcast that James Dolan should have been suspended for his actions in a February incident that resulted in the former forward being ejected from Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks are currently in the seventh slot and could drop as low as 10th — though there’s only a 0.3 percent chance of that happening.

Walt Frazier said he was honored that Phil Jackson tabbed him to be the Knicks’ representative on the lottery dais Tuesday, but that doesn’t mean he agrees with all the team president’s sentiments. For instance, while Jackson is campaigning to get Carmelo Anthony shipped out of town, the Knicks legend would like to see him…

The Knicks pick No. 8, the Nets pick 22nd and 27th. That’s what New York really cares about. But here is one stab at what the draft might look like after Tuesday’s pingpong-ball extravaganza. 1 – Celtics: Markelle Fultz (6-4 PG Washington) — Yup, Boston has Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Smart and Avery Bradley, but…

Clyde Frazier did all he could. He had a crazy, loud purple and gold suit tailored and brought along his two NBA championship rings and his lucky chain. But none of it mattered after the Knicks landed in the eighth spot in the June NBA draft during Tuesday night’s lottery in Manhattan. “We were hoping…

Eight is not enough. In another hugely disappointing night for the franchise, not even legend Walt Frazier’s dais presence could prevent the seventh-seeded Knicks from falling back one slot in the NBA Draft Lottery. The Knicks will pick eighth in the June 22 draft, losing their shot at Lonzo Ball, Markelle Fultz and even Kentucky…

As Mike Vaccaro recently pointed out, little has gone right for the Knicks in the draft lottery since winning the Patrick Ewing sweepstakes 32 years ago. Though Tuesday night’s drawing could change the fortunes of the long-suffering franchise, the Knicks only have an 18.3 percent chance of landing a top-three pick, including a 5.3 percent…

It took until the fourth quarter for the Celtics to pull away from the Washington Wizards on Monday night in Game 7 of the closely contested Eastern Conference semifinals.

Stephen Curry scored 29 points for Golden State, and the Warriors never trailed in Game 2 as San Antonio sorely missed the hobbled Kawhi Leonard.

The Celtics finished this regular season as the top team in the Eastern Conference but had good odds in the lottery because of a 2013 trade with the Nets.

The Knicks continue to be a loser in the Lottery.

Walt Frazier doesn’t agree with his friend Phil Jackson’s opinion of Carmelo Anthony.

Who will the Knicks take at No. 8?

This was the kind of night the late, great Boston Celtics patriarch Red Auerbach would have enjoyed.

The results are in and the Knicks will have the pick in this year’s NBA Draft.

It was very shrewd of Phil Jackson to publicly acknowledge that he recently spoke with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

Charles Oakley says Adam Silver should have done more than just play a mediating role in the ongoing feud.
