For them, that one spot might actually be trading up to #1.

I'm speculating, of course. Did read that they told the Latvian last year that they would take him in the lottery if he was in the draft.

Inside outside with Vucevich.

Question- If, for some reason, Towns fell to 4, and you had the 5th pick, and you believed he was hands down the best player in the draft.

What would you offer to get Towns?

This is some hard hitting, in depth reporting by Chad Ford. Wow.

Are we talking about the Knicks and what we have now to offer up in a trade?? Because we don't have much.

If you had the 5th, a 2nd this year, and next year's 1st & 2nd, would you give them up for Towns if he fell for some strange reason?

Towns became a mythical figure after his workout video..He really didn't have any offensive moves at Kentucky..But after seeing his workouts where he couldn't miss a jumper then people want to trade future first round picks for him..Its like college never happened..

My thing with Towns is that there is no way he and his size 20 feet can play the 4 in this league the way it is developing. Don't see the movement. Has to be a 5, and Minny already has a decent center, who I don't think can play PF.

My KG 2.0 theory is that Saunders, who loves Porzingis, flips with LA, who then gets a very happy Towns. Minny gets LA's 27th and their very early #2 (34th).

Just a theory, but who knows.

I agree in many ways with this, same was true with Stein in that workout, but Towns was supposedly knocking down 3s in HS, and is good at the line. I also saw some nice moves in the post vs Wisc- he and Kaminsky had some good battles down low, too. He was protected on D by guys like Stein and Lyles, and their other bigs, too.

I'm amazed..U just went thru this discussion about overhyped players because of workout video and then u propose an insane trade of the best player in the draft for the biggest overhyped 4 minute video star in the 2015 draft..
