Presume a second rounder, since I'm unsure if Knicks had chance at late 1st rounder I dont know if it affects their $Cap $$ plans.

There are lots of NCAA guys declaring eligible for draft and some of them can play. This draft will be deeper than originally expected and it already was expected to be a decent draft.

I can't wait and since Donnie Walsh was annoyed at his scouts overlooking B.Jennings in 2009 and I dont think NY will forgoe not researching again and I believe Walsh will get the right thing done with drafts and FA's signings
2010 and 2011.

Here are few guys coming out worth mentioning that NYK can look at & some of em' we knew and seen in the ncaa tourney games. Only question is some may go in 1st round OR late 1st round at most. Few others won't and can be available round 2.

Larry Sanders
Jordan Crawford
Eric Bledsoe
Paul George
Lance Stephenson
Hassan Whiteside
Xavier Henry
Solomon Alabi
Ed Davis
Sherron Collins
Willie Warren
Scottie Reynolds
Devin Ebanks

Any other draft eligibles ? whom may slip to round 2 of draft. We need young talented guys.
Danillo and Toney Douglas already on their way to developing. I am not sure on Chandler yet
I like Wes but if we can get experienced PF whom isnt too old I'd consider trading him.

For example, would you rather have Chandler ? or Jeff Green of Thunder?

Id like to move up to 25 or so and get Fredette. I think he can help the team from day 1. Were in a fair position with two picks in the 30's--usually that can yield at least 1 nice find.

Don't look for us to add ANY 2010 FIRST rounders at all: They have guaranteed salary. That would cause us problems.

Don't look for us to waste much time trying to acquire more 2010 2nd rounders for again we're looking at free agency and not the draft this year. We already have two anyway. At best maybe we try to trade both of them for the first pick in the second round.

Next summer is the summer you look to get picks if you can.

Not this year.

Yes. And then it counts against the summer cap in a cap hold. Which will take us out of the "2 max contract" ability.

So we won't be doing that.

Besides, don't we have enough "role" players now? Chandler, Douglas, Walker... perhaps SRod, Barron....

We're fishing for franchise players this summer. Nothing more.

well i rather have the youth and possible upside of developing rookie picks than
a 12man knicks roster where 1/2 roster (5 -6 ) are bad nba players which is normal
for knicks teams since the marbury years.

-C.Duhon
-Johnathan Bender
-J.R. Giddens
-Al Harrington
-E.Curry

Sergio Rodriguez OR Eddie House (pick em').
I like both but you cannot go into 2010/11 with both of these guards on your NBA team if you're serious.
The flaws outweighs the knick needs.

We need a third rookie who is good that MDA can ignore and leave on the bench. Good rookie, Bad rookie, and ignored rookie. Fills out the roster nicely.
