Because Russell at best is Allan Houston in 5yrs. Good system player, possible Allstar but lacks athletism to become a blue chip prospect.

Towns, OK4 & Mudiay are high level prospects. Mudiay can have a Westbrook/Harden/Wall-like impact on teams right away

Russell's numbers aren't even that great. They should be better. His team is not very good and he is inconsistent in college. It's going to take a few years for him to play consistently well in the NBA

Lunacy and ignorance. To make this statement simply tells me you have not watched Russell play more than 5 minutes.

I don't believe that dude has seen Russell play. If he can compare Russell to Houston; oh my!

you are giving up the number #1 pick? How are you taking towns? If he slips to number 3?

Of course this would mean That the player they like is different from the player Knicks like. Then it would be smart to trade with the #2 team to make sure you get a little compensation and the player you want.

you think that we can get 3,10 and 35 for #1? This year? We ain't rapin nobody.

I would not trade if I did not end up with Towns. IF the compensation was right Id take Okafor. I like Olivier Hanlan and Kaminsky a lot. If Philly wanted Okafor or Mudiay and wanted to guarantee their pick IF we get 1--if I can pull off something like that--where my rebuilding is deeper--I would try.

philly does not stupidy give away picks, they compile them.

Do you really think that this is a reasonable scenario?

1, 2 and 3 are so close, why in the world would they do something like this?

Didnt GS once give 3 number 1 picks + their 3 to move up to get Webber? and Orlando got Penny Hardaway.

yes. and we made the Eddie Curry trade.

so you are betting on Hinkie brain farting at the draft?

Knicks trade pick #2 for picks 6,13,44

Knicks could do something like
6: Mario Hezonja
13: Kaminsky or BPA
44: BPA

Or

Knicks trade #1
Lakers trade #5, 27 and 34

There should be a lot of opportunity

There is no way I would trade number 1 for anything less than 3 and other two number 1's and 2 number 2's. Thats pick 1 were talking about. You dont trade pick 1 for 5 and essentially 2 second round picks. The compensation for the number 1 pick has the value of a premium all star player.
