We are going to really miss pick 31 I mean like terribly but the bottom line for the rest is position 1 in ping pong balls and as my h as 30-32 mm in cap space.

Yep what the previous regime did was not fixable. Phil is giving us the best shot at winning a chip with a top 3 pick and over 30 mil in money .. If we get ok4 that's like getting Patrick in 85 ...

don't believe the haters in Reggie,sir dummy,webber... Free agents want msg and a chance at becoming a immortal nyc basketball legend. bringing a chip to the Mecca of the world, the endosements alone would be threw the roof $$$$$$$$$$ ..

Next year is going to be fun !

There never any guarantees but this was the right move. Phil is trying to set this franchise in the right direction. Sure we can nitpick every move but that's missing the bigger picture. This franchise isn't flailing wildly in the dark anymore. The course is clear. With a little luck this can turn out to be a spectacular summer. Some of it is out of our control but the chance is there for success. That's a whole heck of a lot better than having our nose pressed up against the draft glass as usual. This time we're right at the front of the line picking up our lotto ticket.

We don't have our own 2nd round pick until 2020! If we stay bad, these are all almost lost late 1st rounders.

I think we replenished a couple of 2nd round picks in the Prigioni trade, right?

Bonn we've traded 14 out of 15 second rounders from 2005 to 2020 We valued them as nothing

Fine big difference between premium 2 and rounders and low level ones. Pick31 in this draft is a first rd pick easily

Phil hasn't done sht except collect 18 million dollars and put together the worst roster in franchise history. Even the suppose pipeline of young talent in our D league turns out to be more veterans than youth, and they are just as bad if not worse. Care to know their record (10-39)their currently on a 6 game losing streak, and losers of 14 of the last 15,second worse in the entire d league.

Save the "PHil has a dream Speeches" for Dolan, you can pee on his head and tell him it's raining.

The only thing left to do is running around the country all summer with dolans check book. If he got more than 20 hrs of sleep the entire summer, it would be the a crime of the decade.

Phil may still find a way to get another pick. I'm not giving up on that just yet. In the end it's water under the bridge now. We can't keep looking back at what mistakes were made and totally miss the opps that are right in front of the team. Phil and his staff have to dig deep and make the absolute most of the few opps they do have. Gotta maximize value from here on.

The only way for the nyk to get out of this 15 year rut WS to bottom out. Look at the position we are in. If the ping pong balls do us justice we could be in for another 12-15 years of good fortune. What did u want 36 wins and to resign iman shumpert? We needed out

Not really - historically, it's a good bet those franchises' 2nd round picks will be a lot worse than ours. Even with Phil acquiring all these 2019 picks, we still have only 3 2nd rounders over the next 5 years.

1248 isn't wrong though. Phil still hasn't done anything except be historically bad in a year where we thankfully do have our draft pick.

Because okc is under serious financial considerations I think that pick 19 could be up for grabs of we move the 2018 onto this draft. Phil only has 4 yes I'd be all behind trading.it in as long as there is restriction on it to at least 7

Yeah, it's not like Phil got us the cap space this summer, it already existed and Phil actually decreased the amount of cap space we'll have by trading for Calderon. Literally anyone could have done this; a better President/GM would have made sure we got assets when trading Tyson and Shumpert so that our cupboard wasn't completely bare.

Absolutely not, no more selling out the future to get slightly better today. Whoever we were to draft with OKC's pick isn't going to be the difference between us winning a championship and not; our probably lottery pick in 3 years might be.

Trading a pick from 2018 to 2015 in the right situation for the right player as long as there is reasonable restriction is a no brained. This is going to be a unique draft and if we hit it right that pick will be a core piece of our rebuilding goals. Were still making a pick albeit 3 years early

Agree on Calderon but he also gutted us got rid of Jr smiths 7 mm next year and really made us go back to square 1. Calderon's money can be stretched which minimizes the mistake

Phil has to explore things like this with every team to see if he might be able to make a deal and grab another pick. It may not be possible but then again you won't know unless you try.

This summer will be his most important set of moves because it will likely be the core of the team for the next 5 years. I can't imagine that he's not aware of how strong this draft is and that there are more players worth going after. My guess is that he'll do his best to get another pick. He got Easly, Thanasis and Labeyrie and then still looked for more talent and landed Galloway. It seems to me that he's very open to the idea of multiple picks. It's a low risk, high reward proposition.

Who cares about 2nd round picks?? We can easily buy a 2nd round pick if we want to.
