Let's assume we land the #2 pick in the draft. Here's mine draft night trade


New York #2(Our Pick), Jamal, Balkman, and a future 2nd rounder(preferably 2009 if we own one but may have to send our 2008 2nd round pick(if we own it))

4

Memphis #5-8(Their pick), #25(right now)(Lakers pick), #35(Their second rounder) and Mike Miller

So who do the Knicks pick with #5-8 and #26?........I would do that trade by the way.

We have to build our team around a future superstar... let's stop getting role players... do you want more Sweetney, Frye, Robinson, Lampe, ... ?

If we get #2 pick we would be completely insane to trade Rose for a bunch of role players that we could get regardless , this year or next, through draft or trades imho.

That's the key. I believe there is a (Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, Monta Ellis, Al Thorton, Andris Biendrins, Rudy Gay, Andrew Bynum, David West, T.J. Ford) caliber player in this spot. I like the trade because we maintain a starting caliber 2 guard(Miller's deal expires before 2010-2011) on a shorter and less expensive contract than Crawford's, We get another 1rst round pick in a deep draft(quality players) and another high 2nd round pick to find possibly another David Lee caliber player.

The only thing I'm not sure on is if we actually own our 2nd round pick in this draft. I SAY UGH screwed things so bad here we actually have to find comfort knowing we have a 2nd round pick. Actually I just checked as I was typing this and we don't. That Dimetris Nichols trade continues to piss me off........http://www.nbadraft.net/draftnotes.asp

So we'd have to give them our 2nd round pick of 2009 or possibly later.

I'm also proposing this under the assumption Beasley is picked at #1.

i just draft rose at #2 versus complicating things even more.

why does memphis want derrick rose at 2 when they have conley (4th pick last yr), lowry (1st rounder from 06) and crittendon (first rounder from 07)?

You let Memphis decide what they want to do maybe they don't want Rose. Maybe they want to move up to get Mayo or another player who'll fit their system. We wouldn't complicate matters we'd use 3 pics to help speed up/start our rebuild process.

That's a good point trueblue. If Beasley is the #1 pick.....memphis would be stupid to trade for our pick if its #2. The slob conley already and have crit and lowry. Kinda blows our bubble up........

But not the thread.......I been combing through the league trying to find an idea.

Not necessarily. Rose can play minutes @ 2 guard. They could package anyone one or two of their guards in trades. We had Marbury, Nate, Mardy, and Francis. Did we not trade Francis? It wasn't a good trade nevertheless we traded him. But you get the idea I'm trying to accomplish. I chose Memphis first because they actually have 2 first round picks and they may be chomping at the bit to risk a trade that will land them their star.

what ever pick we get we should keep it unless we move up
what we need to do is trade some of our players for another pick

some one said mrose and nate to portland for miles and their pick
or lee and seph to indi for oneal and their pick

it's far more likely memphis has pick 2 and we have pick 5-8.

agreed... we've waited all this time for a chance to land ourselves a guy to build the franchise around, u don't trade the pick away for later round picks

the only draft day trades Walsh should be considering right now are trades to unload salary or add picks if he can without giving up our lottery pick.
