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), #26(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.

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)?

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.

Brb.....

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.

same.
