Brown covets Lee, so I wouldn't be surprise if they try to get him.

I think that Pendegraph is the David Lee of this draft. No one looking at him because he's a senior who plays second fiddle bu he has a lot of similarities to Lee. I think the bottom line is they are fixated on 2010 and I would rather get nice assets than nothing. We would be restructuring the team for the short and long term while keeping the cap flexibility they covet. As for Mullens--i don't take people who call Jerome Jordan a really good player and BJ Mullens a bust in the making to seriously.

Yeah I know you don't take 24 points 13 and 4 blocks seriously. That is what Jerome Jordan put up in his last game. BJ Mullens is a highly sought after recruit he should be dominating play. He should stay a year or two if he knows what is good for him he isn't NBA ready especially if you are drafting that high up.

I don't think Jordan is a bad player--but he is a plodder. Take a hard look at his build. But he could still be a pretty good NBA player and some team late in the first round with the right system--maybe a SA could get lucky. Mullens is a different level athlete. When he hits peak level of body and game--he's going to be a scary proposition. That is the type of player I look for. He doesnt have to dominate year 1 in college--he has to show glimpses of what he can do. When his mind and body advance--that's when you will see what he is. That is also the only reason why we could possibly draft him around 10.

Lol thats what I was thinking

when you change your mind as often as briggs does about the knicks, its no wonder that he might change his preferences elsewhere!

I don't change my mind--I throw out ideas. I didn't say lets trade David Lee I said would you consider this? Everyone has a change of opinion once in awhile--if you don't--something is wrong.

1 week u wanna trade Lee then u don't... then u do again... 1 week u're on a certain prospect's jock, the next u're not on another's... right, u never change ur mind... ur as consistent as they come.

I don't want to trade David Lee but almost any player could be had if the right circumstance was there. He's not Tim Duncan.

Briggs- I am with you on ideas. I am the same way. And for many people that lack the same kind of creative thinking, they see this as directionless, which is the danger.

Walsh should shop Lee & our pick prior to the draft to try to move up. All this talk about 2010 is about getting a franchise talent.

Personally, I'd rather get that kind of player myself directly through the draft.

Here is the BIG problem with giving up Lee over the summer and trying something like this- we don't own our own 2010 pick, and I would be loath to hand off a top lotto pick to Utah.

So if you told me we would take a step back in 2009/10, but this summer draft the future anchor of our franchise, I'm just not sure I could support that.

Thank you, Isiah. Honestly, when EMS responded to his house, if there had been any self respecting Knick fans among them, they should have opened his mouth and shoved the rest of the pills down his throat.
