How could we go wrong if we got Fredette at 38 or 33 or 29 etc.... These guys only have 10 days. If the Knicks promise him--he stays in and shuts it down--I think there is a possibility we get him.

Briggs - aren't second round picks not guaranteed the same deals of first rounders both in terms of money and length.

And I don't think we can give any kind of contract to a 2nd rounder.

Too bad we didn't pick up a first rounder at the deadline.

Id like to see us improve our outside shooting--versatility and defense. Just like the Jets did it--we can get a tad younger in some areas and bring in [hopefully] 1 or 2 top FA tier guys.
