great chat. knicks do seem very quiet about alexander. wouldn't be suprised if somehow we end up with him. I like hahn but need more info on buying a 1st rnd pick. He stated "not sure how it works, get back to me on it on my blog"?? as a knick fan it kills you when other teams keep buying picks. Give us the info now!
fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

the new GMs like the Sonics, Raptors and Blazers all understand that picks are incredible assets. i think Donnie is old school, maybe too old school. the league is a different place, look at what these young gms have been able to do. sigh.


edit: and yes, it was a cool chat. alan is definitely my favorite beat writer.

Veteran teams win Championships. It's always fun for fans to have these teams full of young talent, but in truth you want to be able to put that talent together with some vets to make it all work. Having a lot of picks is OK, but I think Walsh is right that he can get more out of players already in the league with the talents and experience you need to win. So you draft the Stud, but pick up a vet who can help speed up the process of winning. To me there's such a thing as being too young.

look at our trade talks - we have so few assets. for $3 million we could have another asset in the 27th pick. now, we may be looking to acquire that asset Portland BOUGHT using David Lee. it's ridiculous. we need to amass assets, that's how you make packages to get KGs or any veteran that you don't draft.

in this draft with such depth and young guys you need another pick. Thats how you get a Jermaine O'Neal and develop him in 2-3 yrs. (Jordan, McGvee, etc) I rather have that as a 12th man vs JJ
