They start talking Knicks at around 8 min. up to about 14:30.
http://espn.go.com/espnradio/grantland/player?id=13154421 TLDR: They love that Phil had the balls to take the Zinger. Ford thinks he was the 2nd best guy behind KAT. At the same time Ford's scared to death that the Knicks/Phil/Fisher/Melo won't have the patience to do what the Mavs did with Dirk, put him out there for 20-25 minutes a game and let him play through the suck. Ford thinks Knicks should trade Melo to a contender to chase a chip and rebuild the right way.
Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please

If we trade melo for potential players and picks, next year will not be great and media will ride Phil to sell papers. He'll get grilled and the short attention crowd will lose perspective. 1. We will look bad over and over when toronto does well with the pick |

This is a Russillo Tweet well before the draft. Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Russell has a lot of talent, but I think the Lakers take OK4 and his post game if he can play any kind of D, IMO. When it seem like we might have a choice of Towns or OK4, it was OK4's D which made me believe Towns was the best choice for any team picking #1. You don't pass on a guy like OK4 and what he should be able to do out of the post -both scoring and passing- if you are LA, unless you have some real doubts about one aspect of his game. I think Phil would have taken OK4 over Porzingis, anyway, but his lack of movement as a defensive players was significant to me.

We have to play KP 20 a nite, and we don't have a pick in any event. Its what it is. Its what was done. We don't have the pick and playing to avoid that embarassment vs. development is the choice. Would it be better to take a safer short term pick and sign players just prevent Toronto from embarassing us? |

May way of mentally compensating for the lack of an official #1 pick for next year, is to consider Hernangomez as a late first round pick, in the 23-30 range. There was talk about hims being a late #1 this year if he could have bought his contract out before the upcoming season. Since he will not be with the Knicks this year, but will be getting another year of experience against very good competition, I will consider him to be pick #25 in next year's draft when he comes to the Knicks next year, so that I don't get too angry over losing that pick to Toronto.

Dude, if you think me wanting to trade Melo and do a full rebuild that will likely take several years is "short term centric whining" I don't know what to tell you. Now the joy of my world is in Zion
