Hoping Davis and Branham go top 10.

I kind of like PF-SF Bochan and Duke center Williams.  Think my first choice, Dotson, is long gone at #11.

Do you mean Dyson Daniels, the high end perimeter appliance prospect with hitherto unseen fluid dynamic profile?

If you think of the vacuum and fan brand the name is easier to remember.

Likely Sochan gone as well. I cannot see two centers in the top ten, so Williams should be there unless a team likes him better than Duran from Memphis.

I am good with Daniels, Sochan, Eason, and Jalen Williams out of Santa Clara who may wind up as our or someone elses primary ball handler in the half court and long term starting PG.

I also wonder if Keegan Murray slides due to the abundance of shinier objects.

Thanks

Duran would be worth a long look as well.

I suspect the Knicks are bailing on Mitchell

Mitch bailing on us.

Listen to the uncle, who feels MR has been mistreated

Robinson makes the second, then third rounds of playoffs before NY does.

If Mitch goes, I would see if Mo Bamba wants his bag and locker. I might even ask Mo first.

I like MO

Not the rim protector Mitch is,  but great size and wingspan, and has elevated his jump shot.

Dear God...

No

No

Chip, you are alarming me. Is this based on any rumor, comments, facts... or just plain speculation?

I understand very well why the Nyets would love to dump him on some suckers. By why, o why, would the Knicks bite?

This moving of tectonic plates is based in part on reports that the Nyets and Irving have not come to an understanding about an extension, and that Kyrie has not picked up his option. 

If he opted out, Kyrie would be an unrestricted free agent and the Nyets would be utterly fucked. 

My regard for his level of command knows no bounds, as his game is simply out of Earth Orbit. 

Alas, so is his ego and self regard. 

He bailed on LeBron and a dynasty in Cleveland, much as Durant did with Golden State. 

He wanted to be a Celtic and Ainge gave up a King's Ransom to bring him on board. 

Went to the EC Finals in his first season, losing, ironically, to LeBron's Cavs in 7 games.   

Kyrie left after his second season, having sworn fealty to Boston, bailing on yet another top tier contender. 

And like a fine piece of China, he is subject to breakage. 

In ELEVEN SEASONS, the 30 year old Irving has played: 51, 59, 71, 75, 53, 72, 60, 67, 20, 54 and 29 games respectively. 

Obviously last season's second least career tally of 29 games was a matter of bailing on his team. 

Peter Vescey used to mock Joe Barry Carroll by referring to him as Joe Barely Cares. 

Kyrie?  With apologies an earlier Irving, who set the hearts and minds of New Yorkers ablaze, WASHINGTON IRVING. 

Icahabod Pain & The Heedless Whoresman.

Based on Chip being on crack.

The Nets and Irving not being locked in on a new deal opens the door for the All Star guard to leave Brooklyn. Teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks have all kept tabs on Irving's situation.

Now I am really ALARMED. As eloquently put by the forum sage:

Orlando had him out contesting threes, which he excelled at, not just hanging back in drop coverage. He still managed 1.7 blocks to 1.8 for Mitch in the same 25 minutes. Mo got 6 d-boards to 4 for Mitch while Mitch doubled the offensive boards 4 to 2. Mo moves to space to take and make threes which he does respectably now where Mitch was more often around the basket. They are both seasoned. Mitch is tougher. Mo has more game.

Whenever a player and team are at impasse, the camp of the player uses the NY rumor mill for leverage with a little Knicks smoke. It is as old as the modern NBA and definitely spans the entire Dolan era.

I am not so worried about Kyrie to whom I say a gigantic fuck no.

We have still got to get rid of Kemba for Clydes sake.
