One of the more interesting drafts I've seen for the Knicks in terms of wheeling and dealing.

WHY WOULD YOU TRADE FOR A PICK THAT COULD AT BEST BE EQUAL BUT OTHERWISE WORSE? What’s the point?

All things considered, the price was reasonable. Per ESPN's Bobby Marks, the Hornets' first-rounder will be top-18 protected next year, top-16 protected in 2023 and then lottery-protected in 2024 and 2025 before converting into a pair of future second-rounders if not conveyed by that point. So the highest this pick can be (No. 15) is just four spots better -- not much compared to the usual premium teams pay when trading future picks for current ones.

They did do similar last year, manipulating around to get Quickley. A sign of things to come!

Yeah, it's clear their gearing up for a move.

so basically it, more or less, feels like a do over 1st get because their guy was off the board.

What, and miss out on the Knicks getting Matt Hurt from Duke?

We got shooters which I like but man we really need to address the lack of passing. Kyle Anderson trade anyone?

Yeah. Was too good to be true to not be lottery pick protected.


Oh well.


Crap trade imo.

A second rounder would’ve made this look better, but it is what it is.

No! I can barely tune in at the pace they play now.

Agreed. Didn't know that it was that protected.
