Well Phil is pretty smart all of the statements could and probably are smokescreens

Taking him makes sense with Phil wanting to address the front line, get a player who can play in the triangle,and supposedly, Kristaps can play a little D. What doesnt make sense is everyone saying he is a year or 2 away. Phil wants someone who can play right away. Who knows, maybe another smoke screen. Knicks been pretty tight lipped, why does this leak now?

If he picks him, its pretty clear that he will trade him.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

He might trade him but I am not sure how that is clear. Are you thinking he is going to try and get 5 and another pick from Orlando?

The one fantasy draft night trade if really love is that one that gets us the 6&7, even if some might say its a pipe dream.

Would people do this if it was Russell at 4? Would guys give him up if we come away with the 6&7?

EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

Nope..I think Russell is going to be an allstar...

Everybody seems to be set on the top 3 being all but done.

That sucks. Im not really looking forward to Porzingis or reaching for anyone else at 4.

Only a trade for mutliple later picks, like the 6+7 dresm, would turn things up for us.

It'll be Russell, Mudiay, or Porzingis. Depends on how the draft plays out IMO. Don't see us picking anyone else unless we trade.

Well they're both small forwards. Not knocking either one, just don't think they fill as big a need as a big and a lead guard would on the current roster. Would have a much different outlook if we could somehow trade melo and his ridiculous contract!

I think they are both in the mix. Phil seemed open to Melo playing more PF which makes another wing (or two) a roster option

Watching NBA mock draft talk about how great Russell is makes me sick to my stomach
