the knicks would get him and then he'd rack up DNP-CDs for d'antoni while the stash demands he "earn" playing time over guys like al harrington and david lee, since they're playing for contracts.

PS wasn't jordan hill supposed to do all the stuff mcgee does? now we're going to overpay for a guy who apparently does the same things (blocks shots, is a true 5, etc etc).

prob right, they would play jeffries over him too.

Of course this means that his value to Washington will be increasing, and they will be less likely to let him go.

Everone list their top 5 picks in order and let's see the average outcome after we get 20-30 responc

who can show the same skills as this kid shows? Again this is a 7 footer with extremly long arms. I'm staying in the camp we need a big man--guard are much easier to acquire.

Briggs, I know (and knew) you like him, but until his last 4 games he had done nothing this year that demonstrated the talent/raw ability that BOTH of us think he has. That is all I was pointing out.

Yes but the time to even try to attempt to acquire a guy is BEFORE he takes off. Once he takes off it's all over. We do have a nice borderline all star PF that will be very tough to retain and a guy that they wanted for pick 5---I have to think that in a win now mode--we can atleast get into a conversation that might go somewhere.

I would call it BRIDDS musterpiece - "white Square". Malevich is not even close - he used too much black paint... And I will think to go green... someday.

then why so down on the Jordan Hill pick then? why not give him a chance?

Mcgee is 7-1 250 with a 7-6 reach. He is way way longer than Hill and I think IF given a chance---his overall game can take off. Hill I see as a guy who is raw all the way around and too smallish to play true 5.

Man who cares about a "true 5" anymore? We just need
good players period. Hill has the basic skills we need and like McGee he's got
to develop. He may not be a true center but in this offense he would fit well.

There's nothing wrong with McGee as a prospect but I think we have need of a PG and SG,
why waste resources to get MCGee?
