I almost got Beyonce pregnant but she grew up in Texas and I grew up on Brooklyn and never in my life crossed her path. If i ever did she would be pregnant with 5 of my kids and a cash considerations.

here is how Knick fans judge the GM:
Take every trade in the NBA and every player drafted. Assume that we could have made that trade or drafted that player. Assume our GM is inept for not doing so.

the Knicks make that trade for five, Minnesota probably trades up to two or four and gets him anyway

He didn't offer Chandler to Washington and was trying to offer them the Mobley deal, cash and Hughes. When the Wizards got tired of waiting for Chandler to be added, they made the other trade. Walsh blew the draft.

Well we couldve had Rubio or Curry. Thabeet Griffin were going 1-2 so just do the math. Whoever did the Knicks mock didnt work hard enough.

Rubio falling to 5 was a suprise. Also Chandler is 22, plays above the rim and if last season wasnt a break out season is ready to have one.

I like Curry a lot but I would rather Hill and Chandler than Stephen Curry. If traded Chandler for the 5th pick and DIDNT get Rubio I think this draft would be a total failure. 6 weeks ago Curry wasnt in the lottery because he was a 6'3 shooting guard with limited PG skills, no rebounding and a defensive liability. Now we are upset we didnt give up our best young player to trade up for him?

The Knicks need players. Hill, Chandler and Douglas are 3 two way athletic players that fit perfectly in MDAs system. Stephen Curry is only one.

DW didnt roll the dice to get Rubio and it cost him a shot at a star player (potentially). The fall back to that plan would have been Curry, and thats not good enough.

In a year in a half DW has dumped most of Isiah's worst contracts and set us up to be players in the biggest FA class of all time. Add to that he's brought in a winning coach and added (or featured) players that fit or will fit to his style in Douglas, Chandler, Gallinari, Hill and Darko.

Let keep this in perspective

How do you know Donnie did that? Just b/c a newspaper said Donnie did, with no direct quotes from Donnie himself?

We don't know anything besides the speculation and who we actually drafted.

I know you're just saying. Personally, whether it was offered and Minny rejected it, or if the rumor is false, I'm glad it didn't happen. That would have been a dumb trade. Heck, I wasn't even in love with us giving up JUST Wilson to DC for the #5.

I'm happy we ended up with what we got.

personally i think him offering up Wilson & the #8 for Rubio wasn't all that smart to begin with... would u have been happy if MIN accepted that offer?

TMS I dont know. For Rubio I would have to say yes. We are always talking about getting a star and Rubio has star upside. I think Curry is going to be a good player but I would NOT do that trade for Curry. Especially after getting Douglas who has a similar skill set and is an elite defender (Curry's biggest knock).

If trading for the 5th pick was to take Curry OR Rubio (whoever is available) than I would say NO, because thats way to much to give up for Curry.

If your trading 8 and Chandler for Rubio than I would have to consider that for sure. Very tough call.

I dont see Chandler as a chip. I see him as a 22 year old athletic two way wing player poised to break out and challenge to be a future all star.

When I look at Hill 6'10, Gallo 6'10, Chandler 6'8, Darko 7'0 and Douglas as a group to run for DAntoni I like what I see in a very short time. I think this is a great job by Walsh and we are set up to be players in the biggest FA crop of all time.

I think the deal NY passed on was Chandler Hughes and Cash[without the pick] prior to the draft.
In my book you wouldve walked away with one of Rubio Curry or Evans--of which i wouldve take Curry since Evans was off and we couldve walked out with Curry and Hill for Chandler.

for all we know WAS may have been the ones to pass on that deal... i mean they did get a nice offer from MIN in Foye & Miller for the #5 pick.
