LOL. I thought this meant we were trading Grant for Kevin Love.
I do like the pick too though. |

I think its phils best move as a GM so far. Obviously we are hoping porzingis devleops and reaches his ceiling but right now the grant trade is his best move after some questionable trades last year

Best part is that he can contribute to the team in many ways. If his shot his off, he is creating for his other teammates, playing lock down defense or he is getting to the line.
The Future is Bright!

My favorite comment about Grant so far comes from Lupic:
For all of the detached weirdness we have seen from Phil since he also took Dolan’s money and this job, he did right by the Knicks Thursday night with Porzingis and with Jerian Grant of Notre Dame, a big guard whose real position seems to be basketball player. Phil was a player when there were no specialized "point" guards or "shooting" guards, and if you look at the two guards out of college he's brought to the team, Grant and Galloway- you get a good idea of the kind of player he's looking for, and why he unloaded a specialist SG like Hardaway. EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

The Triangle is not about limited players in terms of skills. The more players you add who have a high BB IQ and Multiple skills the better everything works. There are specific roles you need like a Low Post option but overall you want guys who can do a lot of things well. Combo guards and forwards with good size, handles and passing ability are best. Jerian has the kind of game that should excel in this kind of system. |

I think basketball player is really the right position for him. Combo guard just has negative connotations for me. If he and Galloway can hold up defensively we really do have a good young back court in place. But if Jose is still running the show then we have to call this guy JosB.

What a generous thing to say about Hardaway! Unless by specialist you mean he can't play defense, occasionally shoots well and doesn't do much else while on the court. |

Great move to roll the dice again, getting rid of Hardaway before no one would give up a first rounder for him
Hardaway may yet develop - and going to a better team like Atlanta sure will help. |

Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better
