Quentin Grimes

[Kam]

He will be a crowd favorite at MSG.  3 and D.  Could replace Reg Bullock.

[lesterluv]

I think I like it!


*** Careful, Kam, nobody can replace REG BULLOCK...NOBODY

***** I think I might like it A LOT!

** Let's face it, we had two starting positions we needed to upgrade to take another step up, Bullock's and Elfrid's. This could be one — Bullock can ONLY EVER BE 3 & (decent, but don't go haywire) D, there's some intriguing upside here. Meanwhile, Elfrid's is an AUTOMATIC UPGRADE as there will be NO ELFRID


*** Plus, what do we get, a future Hornets pick? That sounds like a nice trade stuffer to use at some point.

** Plus Plus Bonus Plus: Every single peckerwood assclown prognostication about ANYTHING has been completely wrong. Despite knowing and predicting this in advance, it still satisfies! Like a good long fart after a big bowl of kasha!


** Plus Plus Bonus Plus plus:
two PG'S to finish the night!! WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN

A three point shootah.

[Kam]

Miles Mcbride and a Euro

I think we stash Roko.

Grimes and McBride so far. The kids shoot and get into people. Dotson & Galloway part dux.

One pick left to lift this draft out of meh territory.

[Kam]

This seems like a very smart use of picks.  Hardly 'meh'

This seems like a very smart use of picks.  Hardly 'meh'

I agree.

We got two scrotum eating hard nosed defenders who are both ÷40% 3 point shooters.

Paying forward our '#19 for 2022 lottery protected Charlotte and converting the #21 into a #25 and a 2022 #2 yielded a targetted player in Grimes, a 3&D with a big wingspan to supplement or supplant Bullock/Burks.

And we converted the #32 into an intriguing Lithuanian PG overseas stash at #34 and Thibs' hard nosed  PG target Miles McBride at #36.

Seemed  bizarre at first, but clearly the Knicks projected Primer Targets [Duarte, Kispert, Murphy] were out of reach, so they prioritized their secondary picks, whom.Thibs CLEARLY targeted for his priorities moving forward: THREE POINT SHOOTING and DEFENSE, a 3&D wing and a PG.

So, MEH?

Figuring we reup Rose, teaming him with McBride, Vildoza and Quickley, we have PG/Combos who can shoot and facilitate, play D...likewise, RJ and Quentin give us some foundational Wings, assuming we do not overpay for Reggie and Alec.  Perhaps allows us money to reup Rose, Mitchell and Nerlens.

We save guaranteed rookie scale money by converting #19 & 21 to.#25, which could come in handy for free agency come Monday.

Might not satisfy one's desire for shiny objects, Brother Facil, but a pretty nicely calculated haul.

And we still have Obi and Kevin, to.develop or horse trade.

So.MEH?

MORE LIKE Yeah.

Jericho Sims

JERICHO SIMS

An athletic 6'10" big.

And we are one of only four teams with big time cap space come free agency, and I would expect us to explore sign and trades and squirrel away as much of our cap space as possible for our own FAs in 2021 and some more tasty talent in 2022. 

[facilitatorn]

We got the best full sized athlete in the draft at 58, in Jericho Sims. Two perimeter guys and a banger who hit the prerequisites for their spots. Draft saved & very nearly aced.

I’m still assuming Roko stays overseas and that we sign the rest.

Mitch Pelle Sims
Randle Obi
RJ Knox
Quickley Grimes
Luca McBride

Thats 5 4 slots and about 46 million to play with not counting exceptions.

[Kam]

Showing our hand a little regarding Noel and Bullock by drafting their replacements.

[facilitatorn]

I’d like to add Makur Maker or that Belgian kid as UDFAs.

Not sure what that metric is doing, but doubt anyone thinks Rose, IQ, Burks  Knox, Obi were better defensively than Bullocks, RJB, Noel, Elf ... as it has there.

Eminently, Imminently Replaceable
*** good guy, not bad for team, no problem keeping him, just don't overvalue him...he's a placeholder

I've been saying we'd be better with Reg Bull on the bench unit.  But not sure how easy it is to replace him.  Knix have been searching for a starting 3&D SF/wing forever.  Lots of Courtly/Afflalos/Derrick Williams/Lance Thomas types have rolled through.  Reg Bullocks the best we've had.
I'd like a better starting 3&D SF.  But until we can get one, Bullox is valuable for NYK.

25  Quentin Grimes  6'5" SG
34  Rokas Jokubaitis - overseas stashed shooter
36  Miles McBride   6'2" PG
58  Jericho Sims  6'10" C

Interesting.  To be frank, Grimes I don't know. 
We passed on Springer, Cam Thomas with multiple nothankyou's to Butler who dropped all the way to #40.  Great addition for Utah.

I like the McBride pickup.  Replaces Elf.

With the C glut in the league and on the Knix, Sims likely destined to be a 2-way player in Westchester.
Mitch - Taj - Pelle
Mitch - Noel - Pelle
I expect Taj to return on a small contract.  $3M is hard to make when NBA retired.  I wouldn't go to war with just Mitch - Pelle - Sims.  Especially since our two PF's can't man the middle.  And Mitch has been somewhat brittle.

Without moving up, Knix weren't able to get any projected starters.  So still need a starting PG and SF upgrade.
Maybe use Noel and Burks in my fantasy trade for Ball.
That's two solid role players for NOPe.
Problem is TOR didn't take Suggs, so Lowry more likely to stay put.
Leaving Ball maybe less available.
