Things are starting to get interesting. Say we draft Fox at #3 (our franchise point guard of the future), pick up Jaylen Brown as the additional player (budding prospect who played well in the clutch during the playoffs last year), and an additional 1st rounder this year ahead of us...do you consider it? And then say we draft Lauri at 8 to replace KP.
Guess what, in this scenario, we just netted 4 potential starters in one draft. Fox has the potential to be a franchise changing talent, Lauri has immense talent will be at least a starter in this league for a long time, Brown is likely a Melo replacement with prototypical small forward skills and say the additional pick nets us Monk. 4 for 1 is how I see it as far as rebuild.
Check this potential scenario from this trade: Fox, Monk, Jaylen Brown and Lauri for KP. Hello? We automatically become one of the most young, exciting teams in the lead rebuilding.
Unless you think KP is going to be a perennial all star and hall of famer in his career, this is a move you def consider for a team lacking so much talent.
If the Knicks have three picks in this draft I think they take Jackson, Laurie and Frank.
Those are some sad picks.
A smart team would go Isaac, DSJR, and Collins.
I just keep hearing they like Laurie and Frank. Jackson seems to be the big target from what is being reported.
Collins one of my dark horses. Think he would do Jackson, Dennis Smith, and Lauri. Hope no Fox or Frank. Don't Think he likes JR 2.0 (Monk). Dennis Smith is gone if they get the Minny pick. Orlando and Suns high on them.
If trade is those 3 and Brown then it's a tough decision.
