So do the Knicks still have 24,25, and 38?




Looks like Hartenstein is probably gone. We clearly want a big man at 22. Knicks should trade a couple of those picks for 22 and get a good center.


*please ignore if they have traded picks already lol

Looks like Knicks did in fact keep this years picks

Wow!

I miss Mikal with the Suns, but is he worth 4 1st round picks ?

He's not, and it seems I don't value draft picks as highly as most.

RIP to the Suns chances of getting him back. He'll be happy in NYK.

Coming back to Phoenix was a fan fiction pipedream in the first place.

Knicks just need to give Jay Wright a call.

LOL, OK...

He forced their hand for sure. They had deals from the Houston they turned down and were trying to add a star to play next to him. I thought they might've had a shot at Donovan Mitchell but that's out the window. Now there may be a firesale with guys like Claxton, CamJ and DFS.

Might be willing to take a shot on him for the minimum.

Sure, why not…give him the 3rd string C role and see if there’s anything there.

I think Wiseman is a bust at this point. Not sure what he has to contribute.

He probably is, but he’s 7 foot and athletic…something we didn’t have last year.

How athletic is he, though? I don't remember him skying for nasty dunks and amazing rebounds last year. And what exactly does he use that athleticism for? Last year he seemed to average 7.1 ppg on 61.3% FG and 5.1 reb in 17 minutes, which is not too bad.

There's something there with him and he's still only 23. Highlights are highlights so you take them with a grain of salt. But sometimes it takes bigs a few years to figure out their game or young guys in general to find their niche. He's clearly a bust as a #2 pick and might not ever be a starter but if he's rim running, dunking and hitting a jumper he can be serviceable. If he can't play defense tho, he'll be out of the league sooner than later.

Ya I’m not saying he’s been good..he hasn’t..just that there are some intriguing tools there.

Heat nearing a 3-year, $166m deal to keep Bam Adebayo. I like Bam, but oof, that's a ton of money, and they don't exactly have a contending team right now. Oh well.

Gotta get used to seeing big money NBA contracts, Beals deal is just gonna be par for the course at this rate.
