Francis had a bad year..
The dude was trade for McGrady for Pete's sake.
I'm sure we could get some value in return for him...







We get him for trash don't forget that. Value is linked to need and unfortunately, we don't need him. but you're right, the guy is loaded with skills.

he also is a terrible decision maker and a cancer no one wants

also true

Johnson still on the board. Did we miss something?

Wasn't he the guy who screwed us with the Miami series suspensions? Russ Granick

I am ok with this draft after reading the bio on Balkman. I would have wanted a longer shot blocker/rebounder but Mardy Collins and Balkman gives us defense in the perimeter. Something we didn't have last year.

No chance of these guys even touching the court except for the 25 blowouts mardy collins is OK at 29 but he is a tweener who cant shoot with very little athletiscm

Personally, I think the Nets took the two players the Knicks should have taken. We could have had Williams @ 20 and possibly traded up to 21 to grab Boone.

I am sick - I think this was definitely a bad draft, there are no excuses for this. At the very least, he could have had Williams at 20 and taken Balkman at 29. This was totally F%$^ed!

I love the Collins pick. I wanted him or PJ Tucker(Tucker is more of a SF reugged player, Collins is more of a lunchpail player but not as physical). We could have bought a second round pick and got Balkman...Maybe we can buy a second round pick and get Johnson.

I like Collins-he is a 3 position lunch pail player...and he is steady, IMO, and has a nice NBA body.

I don't think we get another pick. We basically have no roster spots left if we plan on resigning Butler and Isiah isn't really smart enough to trade for a pick to find a gem.

Up until this the Rose/Francis trades, that was the dumbest one. We traded expiring contracts, and we lost a pick.

Hmm to make the Balkman pick even more perplexing, we took on $17 MM worth of salary (Jalen Rose) to get it... and then we don't take a top 10 talent who fell.

I don't know what to say. Getting Balkman will have cost the Knicks over $40 MM when all is said and done (Rose + luxury tax + three year contract).

Steve Novak @ 32.

Why is everyone passing on Johnson? Mocks had him going as high as Chicago @ 16.

The only players I'd trade into this 2nd round for are Darius Washington, who I think is underrated (though should've stayed in school) or possibly the Brazilian guy Vincius.
