If we pick #4 Porzingis and we should take Porzingis no mater why even if w want to trade him. His value will rise after the selection
I'll rather take Kaminsky over Kristaps
I like Kaminsky too but I believe we can trade down and get Frank and assets that equal a greater bang for the buck but taking Kristaps 4 is smart I think we control the draft by controlling him. We could simply trade back 1 slot need be
I agree. Need to take KrisPor at that spot (as sad as that sounds) and just trade him. He seems to be the only one with any real trade value at that spot right now.
I want him as a Knick, but even if Phil does not, he had to have this workout for setting up trade offers from other teams.You know they will be flowing in as we get closer and closer to the draft.
I think there's more of a chance that we will have either OK4 or Porzingis drop to us, but more likely Porzingis.
Depends on whether LA feels that OK4 is their franchise center, or they surprise and take Russell.
I'm going on the assumption that Phil knows the Lakers might take OK4 or Russell, but not Porzingis, who also worked out for them, and that is why the Latvian was here today. Can't believe he would not have requested a workout with OK4 if he thought he would drop to 4.
I am sure that they requested a workout with everyone.
Phil knows that Porzy will be there at 4. Everybody knows that. Very sad but very true.
LA's decision will determine everything. They can still take Russell, and Philly might like Porzingis over OK4, especially if they think Embiid will come back, since he and OK4 play similar games.To many variables in play. I still see things as fluid at this point, but you can be guaranteed that one out of Russell/OK4/Porzingis will be available at 4. What Phil does after that is up to him.
You might have the expected 3 going in the expected order, but that order can change, IMO.
I hope that you are right (that it is still in play) but I would bet 1000 : 1 that the top three is set with the obvious
I'll take that bet. I will put up $5

Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years.
First Leon move I hate
