I can't see a money conscience team like Atlanta even extending the offer they already had. The fan base there is fickle---JJ not only played himself[likely] out of Atlanta[unless he takes a massive cut] he certainly won't be entertaining offers anywhere near 15mm. I would say Atlanta would go in a separate direction --valuing their pick and 8+mm in cap space over resigning JJ. Which would mean the 24 pick we mightve had a chance at is now DOA.

do you really think he was going to sacrifice that with 50 days to go for the 24th pick in the draft?

also, i doubt atlanta knows what they're doing yet. they were probably floating the idea that they might sell their pick out there to see if they had any takers. you won't see a move like this actually happen until june... probably until after the finals.

It would've been easy to do, and YES, we still would've had space for 2 MAX guys.

If Douglas was off the board they werent buying the Lakers pick. That wasnt a take the BPA. They scouted him, worked him out and loved him.

Knicks are going to find some players, because Walsh is directly involved and is obviously commited to finding cheap players to add, whether its from EU or the draft.

My bet is they find some guys they love and end up drafting a couple.
