Fish, "my guys" were Evans, Derozan and Holiday for last year's draft. I think I stuck to that pretty well. I liked Beaubois a lot, but if I was GM I never would have imagined him going as high as he did. All of those guys had size, speed and ability to get to the line which no Knick has.
I thought Maynor's shot was too flat and that Lawson was too small to be a starter. Didn't think Taj Gibson had upside and didn't think Blair fit the system.
Go back to the draft threads. I think I made everyone sick of my wingspan arguments when pining for Evans/Derozan/Holiday
Didn't like Monroe last year but he completely picked up his game since then. Dude was out on the break all the time, handled the ball, defended well, passed well... I still like Larry Sanders as a project who can make an immediate difference on defense though. Still like Brackins as an Al replacement at minimum dollars. Still like Warren. The value of those three if they go where they're projected is incredible.
I don't get the Manute reference. Is that for Sanders?
I'm just saying that if you do Gallo and Lee who's half way out the door, for Beaubois/Dampier and flip Damp for Murphy and the #10, then you're essentially swapping the Knicks prospects who are all forwards (while we're trying to recruit FA forwards) and you end up with a big combo guard, a legit center prospect, and you still have Wilson and Walker and TD if you consider him an important piece.
If you try to recruit Bosh, Johnson and/or LeBron and your existing team are all players at their position... that's not the strongest recruiting play.
Beaubois/Douglas/TWhite - PG
Beaubois/Douglas/TWhite - SG
Walker/Chandler - SF
Chandler/Murphy - PF
Monroe - C
Let's say you lose one of the 2nd rounders in the Indiana trade and this is your team after the draft and you go into free agency with enough to get a Max guy and a role player. That's at least a 5 seed in the East.

Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)
