And whom over Grimes, Joukabitis, McBride and Sims?


Isiah Jackson
Bones Hyland

But I am cool with the draft

[facilitatorn]

Those are now definitely two of the washout candidates this year. Jackson and Hyland. Nice kids. Damn shame.

Isiah Jackson?  Of Kentucky?   

I suspect we gave him a long hard look before putting our #19 pick on ice till, knick on wood, 2022.
 
Could be another Mitchell. 

We will get a look tomorrow night. 

PS: Garza on the Pistons looks to have been a bit of luck for them late in the second round. 

[kidcarter8]

White guys dont rate

National Player of the Year.....

Pistons have already locked him up for extra cashola

Agree.

I think we liked GRIMES that much as an overall talent and knew he would be there for us

Now Hyland?  May be a guy we regret passing on - we shall see

NBA players have a right not to get vaccinated.  NBA employers have a right not to have unvaccinated people in their workplace.  I don't think Kyrie, Wiggins, Isaac can work from home ...  Those guys just need to find another job that'll pay them $20M a year.


I have little doubt these players will receive their full salaries

I had little doubt you would be wrong as you are nine times out of eight.

Good luck with that.

lol lol lol...you are, in fact, lol, the dumbass of the millenium, yet again (and that's no easy feat)!

The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association have agreed to a reduction in pay of 1/91.6 of a player's salary for each game an unvaccinated player misses because of local COVID-19 vaccine mandates, sources told ESPN, a decision that stands to impact Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving.....who, if unable to participate in home games, would lose roughly $380,000 per game -- which would become more than $15 million if he doesn't get vaccinated at any point this season.

Hey - good lookin out, Les

And whom over Grimes, Joukabitis, McBride and Sims?

Jalen Johnson is a 6'8" athletic 19 year old, with defensive chops and some playmaking ability.  Intriguing and versatile.  Knix could use a switchable SF.
I don't know McBride or Grimes, but for now they are NYK 6th and 7th G's.
(Kemba/Rose/Fournier/Burks/RJB/IQ).

Knix could have had Johnson + one of Grimes/McBride.
Cam Thomas seems like a bigtime scorer.

We'll see how it goes.
But appears that McBride and Grimes are going to have a tough time seeing any action.

[facilitatorn]

McBride and Grimes are our two best perimeter defenders right now along with being heady and efficient guards when our team has the ball.

I think JJ will be pretty good but I think depth ahead of him might force him our someone else ahead of him (Hunter or Reddish) out of Atlanta.

[bodiddley]

With #19 & #21, Knix could have tried to move up. 
Not sure who they should have targeted in that #10-15 range.
And with a deep draft, maybe two picks are better.

Giddey seemed like he could be around late lottery, but went #6.  Davion Mitchell at #9 would have been another target that went above the likely #12-15 range the Knix might have been able to move up into.  Duarte?  Bouknight?

I didn't pay attention at all to the lottery picks since the Knicks were drafting 19 & 21.
So it's harder than usual to play my Top 10 bust game.  Plus in a deep draft the Top 10 can be fairly strong. 

#10 Zaire Williams.  I'm not fond of tall skinny wings. And he shot poorly at Stanford.
Athletic, but can he develop toughness and make shots?
Bust potential.  Probably a few years before he is NBA ready.

#8 Franz Wagner?  Does he have game?  Will ORL ever develop anybody?

Kuminga turns 19 tomorrow.  So who knows ... and based on what?  While playing for a competing vet team ...

Giddey a risk, but seems to have multiple skills.  Intriguing.
Mobley is raw if you want to look Top 5.  Raw Bigs have the highest flop rate ...

Guess that's all I have to go with.

DID try.  All reports stated.

Yes.  Likely the much needed sniper was the target if not the overall wunderkind.

Got Sniper Lite with some hands and smarts in QGrimes.

Lowery debut in Miami

74 first half points vs Hawks

I strangely wasn't ready to watch last night, flipping back to WWE after a few minutes.

Better that Knicks get my full attention first.

Hearing now that Mo Bamba played well for Magic

[lesterluv]

Hey - good lookin out, Les

Pleasure mine

[kiidcarter8]

Magic PG situation

FULTZ missed the game
ANTHONY came off bench (16-6-6)
SUGGS started (9-4-3)

Magic also started FRANZ Wagner over brother Moritz
