It sucks to be losing out again but it's finally over. Feels good to know we have picks going forward.

Yep it's over and the Melo deal is paid up and we have all of our 1st round picks from here on out so all we need is good management from here on out and we can get this team back to being what they should be.

He must've been one of the observers of the Lottery before the show. Don't know why his tweet got sent so early. Must've been working on it and accidentally hit send.

Russell,Clarkson/Simmons actually would be an interesting trio for the back court and wing.

With so many teams owning multiple picks the knicks should be able to but into the 1st rd. They could come out with multiple picks depending on their draft board. Boston, Philly, Denver, and Phx all have 3 picks in the 1st.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Lakers trade their #2 pick for a stud player.

I think the same. Everything from 22 down should be acquirable. The issue is in what a lot of experts are calling a weak draft is a 1st round rookie contract worth it for a player. I'm hoping the knicks are trying to find a diamond in the rough to move into the draft and get.

The algorithm gives and the algorithm takes away

I'm not a New Yorker.

So luckily, I don't suffer from this Trade-Draft-Picks trauma that most
people here seem to do.

In my opinion, the big advantage for the Knicks in buying a low first round
pick in 2016 . . . would be that they can then use their 2017 first round
pick as part of a trade for a quality veteran guard.

We are not trading first round picks for marginal talent going forward. Enough of that too last the next 10 lifetimes.

It's a question of self-confidence.

If everyone ELSE in the NBA thinks that the Phil Jackson era is going to be
a full-blown, obsolete, Triangle disaster, then they'll value our 2017 pick
as a lottery pick (because the Knicks will be 30-52 or something next year . . .).

As a result . . . the Knicks can get something really good by trading it.

Whereas from the Knicks perspective, since the team will be a playoff team
next year (especially if we get that something good in the trade), the pick
is only a #20 or so . . . and worth giving up.

Ah, the old "trade the pick because by then we'll be good and won't need it" move. A Knicks classic.
