My guess is at the time you would not have been in favor of giving the #9 overall, the 36 overall and this year's #1 for the pick that became Doncic - not that Hawks would have done that anyway.

Yes, works for me.

Look, this site is getting Dicey. I'd love to keep in touch with everyone.


As I've said before. leave an email address as a comment at knicksmecca.blogspot.com just in case... it ain't going anywhere til I'm gone... so there's that.



This site isn't going anywhere, whether I step down as mod or not.

This was just a hiccup, barely even technical.

Did you get a note from me?

Oh.  I had gotten the impression that the Kingdom of Elba was in existential  danger, my bad.

Never mind.  Don't bother with plan B.

Steve Popper now reporting Knicks not interested in BALL or EDWARDS.  Also not too keen on HALIBURTON as well.

Trade down appears imminent.

Also hearing Van Vleet back to Raptors and Joe Harris too expensive for us, while Melo rumors to NY continue.

Paul, Barrett, Bullock, Carmelo, X.   Starting 5.

Draftees off bench.

Yes.  That would be advertised as Peaceful Memories Square Garden - the geriatric version of the Wild West Show.

I *do* think this is very possible, though.  Not sure this is the "competitive" type team Thibs is advertised to want, though.

I HATED what the acquisition of Melo did to this organization over time.

But I will root very strongly for his efforts this year should he come in on a much lower, shorter deal

Dust off those #7s, folks.

By the way, folks, if there is another outage of some sort here and you want to be kept in the loop about what is happening, you can drop me (or whomever takes over, should I leave) at [email protected].

BoZ, if Ball was such a sure thing, such a genius, why would GS do that trade?
Curry is 32, going on to 33 pretty soon. I’m sure they could coexist for a while, with plenty of minutes for Ball at the 1 or 2. Great guard rotation Curry-Ball-Klay.

It would certainly be about fit
Ball isn't really even central to their thoughts if they stay at and select at 2.

Fit but more so timeline.
GSW is trying to win now.

Someone who will be learning their craft and the NBA.
Bottom line: GSW needs players they can rely on in the playoffs.

ESPn reporting that Lakes will trade Danny Green & the #28 pick for Schroder.
Not sure if that means CP3 likely to stay in OKC.
Or if Thunder will flip Green for something else.

Like the even younger Edwards....I think GS will be fine given their current roster plus who they can draft, even given a deal down.

But GS will still be looking to add vets, of course.

Tough west, no matter how you slice it.

If I were GSW, I wouldn't want to rely on Scurry-Klay & Dray supported by young uns Wiggins, Pascal, draftee (Edwards/Ball/WiseMan).

Not sure how much money they have or willing to spend to lure vets.
Before they were said to be trying to add Dwight on the cheap.
might get a Bullock type.  Really a thin team for now.

Again, I'd do the Wiggy/Love flip to add another solid vet.
Then just two key yute in Paschal/draftee.
Or trade the #2 for a solid vet.

Yeah, why would the Knix want a quality G ... ?

Okongwu, Halliburton, Vassell are my choices.
And likely Okongwu goes Top 5.
One of TyH or Vassell should be there at 8.
Everyone seems to link NYK with Killer Hayes.

And yes, I'd flip Mitch for Ball.
Maybe for Edwards.

Check out these LaMelo transition passes in the video
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30306095/lamelo-ball-holds-workout-front-warriors-hornets-pistons
And the interviewer gets TheMelo to open up a little.
I think the trick with LaMelo is to mention his family some, that's where he seems most forthcoming and engaged.
