Chandler plays LBJ's position, so enough said. A 1st round pick when you have Rubio, LBJ, Gallo, Lee, Hill, TD and some others is not worth all that much. If they want some money, give them money too.

Could have not said it any better!!

We should use all our resources to get Rubio!!

Chandler looks like a perfect fit for them!!

They have a ton of Guards no SF......

Jefferson Love Chandler front line?

Flynn and Sessions at G

Young exciting up and coming team!!

And we get Rubio ...... Who might end up being the best PG in NY since Clyde

the team that drafts him retains his draft rights for a few years even if he decides to play overseas... every draft pick comes with risks... u have to understand these risk before u make the selection, otherwise pick someone else.

Kahn screwed the pooch on this one. Doubtful Ricky would ever play for Minny before he stays in EuroLeague. I think Ricky is WAY more than a fantasy because if he could select his team it would be the Knicks. If he wants to play here, and we want him here, they will all find a way. Kahn may be a fool for selecting Ricky, but he's pretty smart not to give him to us for chump change. We will most likely have to give up a future pick, but I think Ricky will be worth it.

most definitely, Kahn took Rubio cuz he knew he'd retain his value regardless if he played for him or not.

has rubio really retained value though? i mean i pretty much forgot about him.. his value was the highest when he was drafted, i honestly think he's gone down a peg. it's all that hype machine bro... his skills havent changed.

What are they gonna do? Not take the best PG? Then what happens with Flynn and Rubio.

ROFL i hope this happens so bad. Just to mess with Kahn for taking all those PGs last year.

i would laugh my ass off for real... i got my fingers crossed

It looks like the sooner Kahn is fired, then the better the Wolves are off.

time will tell how much if any his value has gone down... i think Rubio wants to be in NY & Donnie knows it... we don't know what's being discussed behind the scenes so it's anyone's guess what Kahn wants & what Donnie is offering, if he's offering anything at all... i wouldn't take a bag of balls for Rubio if i were Kahn, i'd hold onto him & wait for the right offer to come along.

While I agree with your last sentiment, at some point all that Kahn will be left with is a bag of balls.

IMO if you expect a guy to stay over seas like Kahn may have you take Rubio and then you draft for another need and it just so happens that their other need was a 2 guard. Take Curry(who would look pretty good next to Rubio and can play the point if he had trouble coming over), hell even Terrance Williams of you plan on going after Sessions.

Depending on how you look at it Kahn didn't screw up drafting Rubio he screwed up drafting Flynn next.

i completely agree w/u there... if he wanted Flynn so bad he could have easily traded down & gotten him later in the draft... i was actually expecting him to take Derozan after he picked Rubio... i knew he wouldn't take Jordan Hill cuz they were already set in the frontcourt.

I remember watching the draft and thinking something was up drafting 2 PG's. It is one thing to draft a pure point and a swing player at the 1-2 spot. Problem is drafting 2 players who play exclusively the same position. I swear I thought Kahn was trading Rubio.

Trading Foye for a redundant player hurt ALOT, IMO. They could have had a lineup of:

Jefferson
Love
Brewer
Foye
Flynn

Mike Miller, Gomes, Sessions, Wilkins....

Not bad at all, IMO.
