GSW get a 1 year cost controlled contract and potential starter or 6th man PoA defender who spaces beautifully next to Steph. They get a playoff ready starter/bench guy. GSW still gets another cost controlled contract on a mid 20s pick with a lot of interesting players still in draft. Maybe GSW gets more?

Steph, Deuce, Butler, Green, KP/Horford. Thats a couple of older but stout defenders with Steph. Deuce helps them space and suffocates with Butler.

Knicks get a smaller noggin but more athletic version of Brunson, so Brunson 2.0. Put Burries next to Brunson or Kolek. Let him just shoot and score. Let him be a ball handler next to Brunson. Surround him with Clarkson and Shamet. He plays defense. He has lots of time to grow and play right away.

Think GSW is in a spot where they are gonna look to someone that can help them now, but also with star potential for the future as they transition to the next era. Deuce could help them now, but lacks that star potential for the future. This draft is supposedly about 15 deep in potential star/all star they say. So at #11 they will probably look to nab one of those.

Or completely pivot from that and trade it for a proven allstar. Sabonis?

Yeah, it’ll come down to how much GS wants to keep the Steph Curry train going. Deuce still only 25 so that’s perhaps filling 2 simultaneous goals with 1 guy. Can’t really ever trust a rookie to immediately contribute first whole season and then playoffs right away versus a proven PoA defender and can also get you 7-9 in the first quarter from everywhere, and that helps Steph and Butler and KP.

Maybe Brown can put in a good word

I’d like to see the Knicks go for it somehow, get even youthier

I would just like to see them actually make picks. I understand they probably won’t trade up in order to save salary, but it would be nice to add some real talent alongside Diawara to give the Knicks some exciting young talent to work with.

Bite your tongue we have Pacome.

Haha would love if he flipped things around for sure. But I was like wtf when they drafted him and so far he has looked like a poor man’s Kevin Knox unfortunately.

we going to draft a 2 way wing to replace Hart in the starting lineup this draft. Then Diawara will be OGs back up next year in the rotation. Internal improvement is on the way for next season.

I highly doubt we can draft a player to start next year. I still see Hart starting. If he’s replaced as a starter, it’s with McBride, Shamet, or less likely but possible, Diawara. We need to hit on one or two of these picks though and add a useful player. My early dream player Morez Johnson seems somewhat out of reach now. Maybe 24 and 31 can move up a few slots if he falls out of the lottery? You never know.
