I will never forget it. Doing all the study on draft picks. Looking for all the hidden gems at the end of the first round. Being excited on draft day. Then the crushing news that we sold our pick for cash.
And the year they traded the pick to Chicago for the next years pick was like getting a box of socks and underwear.

Can we give them a Miami pick instead of Chriss? Would that still fly?

no. I think smart GMs see Riles... with a boatload of cash and a team that already went 30-11 down the stretch last year playing in the East and would realize the value on that pick isn't that high.

Sounds like the possibility of the Knicks moving Kristaps is gaining steam. Funny that it happened right after Broussard "reported" the Knicks weren't seriously shopping him.

I think the Suns would have a good chance of landing him. Boston has the assets, but I doubt PJ wants to trade him within the division.
Knicks fans would form a lynch mob right outside the garden.

We also have our 2018 pick.

that's an interesting pick to possibly give up. If all we gave up, say Bledsoe, this year's pick and next year's pick... well, that's a lot to give up, but I'd still prob do it.

Building around Ulis, Booker, Chriss and Porzingis sounds like a great young core... that can ALL shoot and give us really good length.

I don't know why I'm actually getting excited here. What's going to happen is Jackson or Fox will be there... we won't get Porzingis or Butler and we'll take the one dimensional scorer and I'll put my foot through the TV.

As much as we crap on Knight and want to get rid of him. With Bledsoe gone, Knight would take over starting duties and potentially rehab his value. He's a competent player and is in a tough situation behind Bledsoe and Booker.

I'll probably be tarred a feather for saying this, but replacing Bledsoe with Knight, isn't a huge downgrade.

No he wouldn't, Tyler Ulis would continue to start over Knight.

Way too much. Essentially you're trading Josh Jackson, Dragan Bender, and Marquese Chriss for one good malcontent. Trade Bender, #4, and next year #1, and Warren. Above all, keep Booker, Chriss and Porzingas as your core. Otherwise, take a winner in this draft and keep your own solid young talent.

Lol

Most exciting offseason ever

so was the lead up to the lotto.

I expect full meltdown tomorrow when we take Lauri with the 4th pick, and I'll be right there waiting with a gallon of gas.
