Hello All,
I'm brand new to this board but I have been enjoying your comments for a few years ---from Briggs scouting acumen..to fishmike;s pragmatism...to nixluva's eternal optimism. I'm definitely old school and I go back with the NBA and the Knicks since the days of Butch Komives, Emmette Bryant, Dave Stallworth, Cazzie Russell, etc. I've seen the good championship times and the current bad times under the Dolan Era. I'm hoping to add my perspectives from time to time.
Thanks,
AUTOADVERT

Thanks,

Always nice to have more "old school" folk around. I go back to the same era- the days when it was quite difficult to see games on the tube.

Welcome Rosey! We need more voices around here. I think we're all going a bit nuts hearing the same points over and over. Mine included.

Welcome man. I am also in love with this site. The most simplest layout Knicks site, but the quality of posts is one of the highest.

Welcome. This is a great site to talk Knicks. Make sure you check out Slicksports on the tool bar. It covers every sport and has pages like the home page for every team.

Thanks guys, hoping to enjoy the dialogue. The only thing I'm wary of is that opinions are given based on the limited knowledge of what we're exposed to. We don't have the extensive access that the actual decision-makers do. I guess that makes it fun - we can surmise and second-guess all we want! Would love to be a fly on the wall during their scouting and personnel meetings.

OOh, there's no need for that Rosey, armed with youtube and snippets of sound bites, there are lots of experts here that are usually right..

welcome! remember melo is god! if you dont think so hit Alt F4 and leave now
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

28000 posts and I didn't make an impression on Rosey?

LOL, Welcome. Rosey? Holfresh thinks your a female, if so you might be the only one I think!
I was thinking "Roosevelt" via "Rosey Greer". Thats old school!

Regardless, Welcome aboard!

LOL, No Nalod, I am not a female and I do indeed acknowledge your posts. I just couldn't mention everyone. BTW - you're right - Rosey is short for my middle name which is Roosevelt. My first preference is to remain at pick #4 if a top-rated talent is there. If not - then trade down. The way the game is now it's better to have quality over quantity.

You broke Holfresh's trying to get a knickwomen!!
Of course you couldn't mention everyone but Nalod is not everyone.
So who is your pick at 4?

I hesitate at this point because, as WaltLongmire commented, we don't have the extensive info that the NBA execs do. Based only on my tv observations, it's Townes, Okafor and Russell as the top 3.
At #4 - I would guess either Winslow or Mudiay. It depends on their workouts and what the Knicks see. If Mudiay is that intriguing then I would go with him because he may have more long-term upside due to his ball-handling.
If the Knicks go perimeter in the draft - then I would look at Greg Monroe as a free agent big. I'm assuming Gasol and Aldridge are not interested. I'm not in love with Monroe but he's a realistic option who would max at about $15+M - which is about $3M less than others due to his service time. He can operate from the block and it leaves a little more wiggle room in your cap.
Not ideal - but you have to take what you can get and build up from there.
