Keep the pick. KEEP THE PICK!

Knick seem to have gotten 4-5 2nds out of the 2 trades.

Can’t you buy a late 2nd rd pick for like 50k.

For more assets. If someone gets injured during the season or we need someone we have something to trade.

Jerkoffs

hes young but I don't think his skills translate well to the NBA. He wants to play like Cade Cunningham but without the athleticism and mid range talent. those kind of pgs are doomed in today's league imo.

so I'm glad we passed him on.

I suppose there was a 10% chance if Zuby was available they would've just taken him and completely changed their offseason plans given the rumor the front office liked him.

Only guy left on the board that is interesting to me is Baba Miller. Unique movement & dribble skills with the ball at his size.

Wonder if Deuce, #31, #47 + a few future 2nds could net us a legit Mitch replacement like say E Missi or something else?

We must be trying to keep him. Otherwise, why not take advantage of Cam Carr miraculously dropping to 24? That doesn’t prevent us from trading for Missi

To me this all screams that we are bringing the whole crew together.

Personally I love running it back… loved zuby but we might have gotten our hearts crushed as I think trading back was the only move .

No one should loose sleep over cam carr There’s a reason cam Carr slipped in the draft. Sure his measurables were sweet and guy can ball in college as a catch and shoot player. But he also had to transfer, as the minutes weren’t there for him in Tennessee, due to his lack of defensive awareness and poor defense in general. Can he change that sure he has the talent will he probably not anytime soon. As of right now he’s a one way player.

Next year I’d take Shamet over him … in 3 years I’d take Carr if he develops into a 2 way player.

Look at tonight Mara, Carr, and cenac all dropped those teams got the player that unexpectedly dropped. I rather it be last year and we didn’t have first round pick so we didn’t have to deal with this crap.

It’s not the same NBA. The aprons are really changing the strategy and in our case, that strategy is to give yourself a chance to bring the championship team back.

We have growth potential with the players we already have. The team didn't truly click until the middle of the first round of the playoffs.

The success they had together from that point forwards is the foundation for getting better and continuing to learn how to play well TOGETHER.

We have talent that can continue to blossom within the lineup, including Diawara who is locked in for multiple seasons now.

Sometimes it is better to stick together. Most repeaters did it that way with small tweaks to the lineup.
