Teams that are perpetually in the draft don't seem to make it to the top of the league. Once in a blue moon you end up with a Jordan, Kobe or Lebron. How many 1st round draft picks have the Bulls had and they're still just a .500 team.

Now the real intrigue begins. The strategy and moves. GM's will be making calls and scrambling now. GO DW GO!!! He's got a wild plan, but it's not looking so crazy anymore.

at least with the rookie cap on sals, its something you can make attempts at without tying concrete blocks around your neck trying to swim across the atlantic... its kinda like the quarter slots gambling vs dropping 10k a hand on blackjack FA's. draft is a guaranteed option unless you traded it. you can screw it up for sure.

Do you realize what you type? You are belittling two teams that had overall more regular seasons wins and playoff wins in 10 years than your team. Isn't this the first time in nine years that the Nets finished with a worst record than the Knicks? Yet most NBA analysts still say that prior to any draft the Nets have the better roster.

I say Derrick Favors goes 2nd and Speights becomes expendable.

Maybe some of those team are willing to trade their pick.

Really? Explain please. I'm just curious.

I sincerely think he may end up with a career than Wall. Would I take Turner over Wall--no. But I really do believe he's got a legit chance to be special.

This is possibly one of the best draft outcomes we could have hoped for. The only exception would've been if Minnesota got the #1 pick (and may have been more inclined to trade Rubio). Nets falling to #3? Two teams with no max cap space getting Wall and Turner? Thank you Stern.

The only downside I can possibly see with this top 3 is that two are in our division. Luckily, this ain't MLB playoff eligibility rules.

haha, where all you hoe ass, Knick fans who were licking all up on the Nets and their "future number one pick." If you havent noticed the team with the worst record NEVER gets the number one pick. Hilarious.

Checking out the mock drafts is it just me or is the second half of the top 10, 5-10, unimpressive from a prospect standpoint.

LOL. Naw. I know this is hard for you to wrap your mind around, but there are actually loyal Knick fans around here. Fans that stick with the squad through thick and thin. The Nets are our crosstown rivals, so we're not trying to see them get props or hear about all the "great" things that are supposedly going to happen for them.

The Nets are an affront to us --- not a potential new rooting interest.

Tuner is a high skill player. In the NBA though you need skills and athleticism. I see him as a Danny Granger type player.

Derrick Favors while not being the ideal 2nd pick has the potential to be really good or really bad. The good thing is he is actually 6' 10" and not 6' 8" likes Tyrus Thomas. He also seems to have some desire to improve. This is going to be one of those drafts where someone drafted around 8-10 has a good chance of being a better player than the top picks.

You cant pass on that plus I dont see Turner and Holiday getting along in the backcourt. Holiday is a baller but needs to work on his PG skills.

See that's what is so funny cuz that stuff means nothing to me. If the Bulls had been in the final four many times over the last ten years maybe I'd give them some credit. The draft is overrated if you look at all the teams that have been in it multiple times and still don't have even a playoff appearance, much less a finals appearance. The draft is fickle and in terms of winning a title most teams that are in the draft for multiple years fail to build a serious contender with all that young talent. You all know the teams.

The Nets did their thing when they were going to the finals, back in the day, but how long ago was that? They have the better roster??? The one that damn near set an NBA record for futility? And what do they have to show for it? Not John Wall...haha. L's!

So what, maybe the Nets have been a lil better than us for the past few years -- but not by much. How are they trying to wolf? Its like a dude covered in shyt trying to talk about a dude covered in piss.

nconnolly wrote:KNICKS SEASON TICKETS PARTNER WANTED. – FACE VALUE

Due to how difficult it'll be to get tickets after we get Lebron (which i really think we will), I just bought tickets in Center Court Section 334. But unfortunately I cannot afford them all. The Knicks are only selling full season tickets so it was my only choice.

If you want to get tickets while you still can, I will sell you 10-25 games of my season ticket package for FACE VALUE ($74 per ticket).

If interested, please contact me at 845-258-8655 or gocru****@yahoo.com, and let me know how many tickets you'd like. Tickets cost: $74 X the number of tickets X the amount of games you want. We can set-up a payment plan. Act quickly because the response has been tremendous and I do not have too much left.

Anyone can call my Knicks representative before buying the tickets if they want to guarantee legitimacy. Also I am available to meet in person.
