and I really believe this.
Getting picks 1-2-3 were kind of set up for a team to "have" to keep to the form of the draft. Meaning less thinking for Knicks management.
Now that every and any scenario is on board we have to have confidence that we will do right by an owner(Dolan) his right jand man who has done little right(Thomas) and the figurehead(Jackson) who is there to take the fall for 12mm per year.
The constant with our high draft oicks have been perfection--all failure. EVERY decision made with a lottery pick for 10 years has failed. So why exactly do Knick fans have confidence at 4 now that no brainer is not a scenario what makes a Knick fan think we will do something right?
Here's my scenarios of what I think the Knicks will do
A. I believed this for awhile--the Knicks will draft Willie Stein and sign Greg Monroe
B. Somehow some way the Knicks will use the 4 pick to use to trade to a team for a player like Tobias Harris for example where we have to give him a max contract and the Magic S+T him here effectively using two major assets for one player.
C. Trade down for Kaminsky--this is an option if you look at the triangle--this would be my preference out of the above. The shtty part would be if we had to use pick 4 on Kaminsky without added compensation.
The other scenarios with Mudaiy Winslow Porzingis et al are developmental players that Jim Dolan wont do. Thats a problem but why would a dumb arse like Dolan all of a sudden change? Hes not. Thats why S Mills put his head down.
