and for the record...Adam Silver's new draft format sucks. How the Knicks were the only team out of the bottom 6-7 to land a top 3 pick is a fucking farce. No way for bottom feeders to crawl their way out of the barrel...expect changes again.

I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

It is meant to get teams to stop tanking. Isn't that good for the NBA?

It tells teams to not rely on the unlikely chance of landing the highest pick or even staying in the top 5 (as you can drop out easily if you aren't the worst team) as a way to get better.

Yes, we will see more Orlando Magic moments where mediocre teams will win the draft. It will be more random and that's better for the league, IMHO.

Oh to be a Knicks fan...finally tank and still get fucked.....bunch of suckers

14% is 14%

This is correct.  We actually won.  Only had what - a 40% at top 3?

[facilitatorn]

3 & our second rounder for 8 & 10, or take Culver.

[lesterluv]

Three Times Golden State double teams EK in the post first quarter.
Three Times Turkish Delight makes them pay with the delish assist.....

[lesterluv]

Hey, did the Knicks end up with the fourth pick?

Reverse Jinxes are my ting.

understand the thought behind the tanking argument, but 5 other bottom ranked teams did not "tank" and none wound up with a top 4 pick? Not sure how that makes the league better in those markets.

Do we want Conley?

Lakers should trade the 4 for Conley

I guess we would look at a deal if we land KD

[lesterluv]

Do we want Conley?

We always want Conley. Team IQ triples instantly.

[Merciless]

With Zion you can convince AD to stay.

Zion's worst nightmare..the last place on earth he thought he would wind up. AD wants out for the opportunity to play with LBJ and/or a bigger market.

Alright, I guess we owe you.

Absolutely. Nobody, with the possible exception of the ever-incredible Knicks, will ever be stupid enough to purposefully tank again.

Good management will be rewarded. Got to stick your picks, whereever they are. Draft well. Trade well. Develop well.

*** so with our braintrust, we are obviously f'd, better sign KD or KL +++ or it's all over forever...


***** if we had hired Budenholzer instead of FukWhale, actually played to develop, grow and win, tried to maximize the value of our vets for trades, we probably would have ended up right about 33 & 49...and have a much better team, and Zion or Jah:)) And the thing is, this is no surprise, any idiot could see what was going on as soon as they announced the new system. Believe the math.

[lesterluv]

And how is Portland still in this game while playing like absolute crap...

[carlos123]

Damn

You jinxed us!

Nope.  We had already lost.  3 teams crept into the top 4. If anything i reverse jinxed us out of the 4th.

By the way Kam(s)ter, you need to go back to ‘rithmetic school 📈📉

I don't think you're accurate about New Orleans being the last place he thought he would wind up.  Aside from the 6% chance, he was always thought of as trade bait for AD if he would up on the Knicks or the Lakers.

Didn't you post a fantasy trade for AD centered around Zion and Knox?
