To protect ones fragile state one should look at this as a "top 4 pick" and not bank on Okafor given the odds.
The largest statistical probability is the 4th pick!!!! its not "bad knick luck" or "why did we tank if thats all we get", its just ping pong balls! At 4 we will get likely either russell or Munday if Oka4 and towns go 1-2. In that Event if they are ball handlers then its gonna be looked at "Phil got the next Kobe or jordan to run his triangle"? Can that kid handle the pressure? If the knicks only winn .333 next year, they double their %!!!! |

There does seem to be a lot of talk about Okafor- and the reality is, we might end up winning some games here and moving out of the bottom position. And if we don't, there is no guarantee of ping pong balls. Now, I will say this - we (Knick Fans) deserve the top pick as we've suffered more than any franchise fan base out there over the last 10-15 years. |

For some reason, none of the Towns highlight vids have impressed me so far. He looks like he'll be 2 or 3 years away from contributing in the nba. I might be being harsh, but I wouldn't expect much out of him in his first year. |

wouldn't it be funny if we carmelo anthony, cleanthony early and karl-anthony towns on the same team, then we traded for anthony morrow, they all should get the same haircut, wear the same headband and wear jersey numbers 7, 17, 27, 37.
lol Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL
So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

He does not show up in every game and has many raw parts to his game. He needs to tame that hook, get much stronger in his lower body so that he does not get pushed off the block etc ... The kentucky system makes it harder for him to develop quickly. His defense kills OK4 and he has the potential to be a great defender and a really good stretch 4. Its gonna take time though. Ok4 is ready for prime time but may have a lower ceiling. so here is what phil is thinking ....

The problem with taking a 2-3 year project is that the centerpiece of your team is showing signs of age, and you don't have your #1 next year. If we were in a true rebuild, something we should have been thinking about before Jackson came on, you would not make a Bargs type deal, and you would not have signed Anthony, you would have done a sign and trade with him for picks and young players or expiring contracts. If you are looking to pick up some FAs next year, I assume that they will be the kind of veteran players who you don't need to develop, other than getting them to buy into your offensive and defensive schemes. If Anthony is seen as your future for the next 5 years, I'm not sure Jackson will pick a 3 year project, IMO. EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?
