the Knicks switch the 2007 pick with Chicago, unless of course, we have a better record.
Yup; that's why we can't have the #1 pick (unless there's a trade) but can pick anywhere from 2 to 30
Yeah and technically San Antonio can lose enough to make the lottery this year and we'd have a lottery pick but it's not going to happen so why talk about it like it's a possibility? Oh wait, you're just spinning. Nevermind.
Without a trade, it IS going to happen that we'll be picking anywhere from 2 to 30 like I said
San Antonio IS going to lose enough to make the lottery this year and we're going to get their lottery pick?!? Umm ok.
You're talking about something different. I thought you used the SA analogy to somehow prove my statement false that the Knicks would be picking between 2 and 30 in 2007. But if you agree with my original statement, then what was the point of the SA analogy?
The point is, no **** we're picking between 2-30. The sun is also going to rise tomorrow and the ball is going to drop in Times Square at midnight tomorrow. How about you say something meaningful for once. Like where do you think that pick will fall? Technically the Spurs can be in the lottery this year but we know they won't just like it's highly doubtful that we'll be picking 2nd next year.
The Spurs are IRRELEVANT to this discussion. We've been talking about the 2007 pick that we may swap with the Bulls. If the two teams (Knicks and Bulls) finish next year the same place in the standings that they're in now, we'd be swapping our early lottery pick for the Bulls mid lottery pick. Please expalin what SA has to do with this? I bold fonted the first part by allanfan of the discussion so you can see this was purely a discussion about the 2007 draft swapping with Chicago.

OMG you're so obtuse. I'm bringing up the Spurs as another example of something that you could say that would be technically true but not likely to happen, like the Knicks picking 2nd in 07.
Why would the Bulls be in the same position as next year when they could possibly have a pick in the top of the lottery and in the middle of it plus $20MM to work with this coming offseason? The Knicks remaining in their position is a lot more realistic since they don't have the avenues to acquire a difference maker the way the Bulls do.
If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System
