Otherwise I'd probably sit out and see what falls out of the draft.

Free agency only three main targets. Batum derozan and boban m. We speculate on trades all the time but it's impossible as a fan to know what the Knicks will do

Pretty simple what I would do
I'd be willing to trade my 2017 into 2016 for Denzell valentine if he's there to a team willing to swap out the only other player I like from projected 15-30 is going to go higher than that ( grayson Allen) otherwise that part of the draft is not going to help us. I'm huge on kay felder early rd 2 if we can get one of Boston's 5 seconds he's a transcended player who fits the mold of today's nba as an elite ball handler passer scorer with pesky smart defense and solid rebounding

boban M? why? He seems like another nice big but...?

My #1 target is Batum. Hope the Knicks can somehow finagle another wing player in replace of AA.

Denzel valentine is dray green from the 2 guard. I'd say worth it I think once the draft passes we can trade 2017( obviously with protection) so if a boston doesn't want to take it's 3 picks they could pick for us

This.

Yes they can they can have someone pick a player and once the draft passes they can swap

One way I kind of use my own evaluation on players is I envision the NBA starting player( in this case Affalo) and I plughiminto the starting Sg position at Michigan state and I ask myself ifhe would produc e like Valentine. The answer is not close no Valentine is bigger faster and so much better at EVERY facet of basketball. I think he's an NBA starter right now and if not will develop very quickly into an all star.

Kay Felder is going to be a steal just like Isiah Thomas was its simple as that. They're the same size but Kay might be stronger is a better pg and plays a good brand of d the kind where he can hound 94 feet. I'd trade Grant for him without flinching

He looks like the real deal but then again at that size very few break through and it took Isaiah years. It's too big an issue on the defensive end.

Yeah and you guaranteed us that a bunch of players were gonna be great in last years draft and either didn't even get drafted or they're playing in the d-league or sitting on the end of the bench. There's countless players that have great college careers and were supposed to be great NBA players that never make it every year.....countless players. We're talking about basketball lifers that are GM's that draft players that never make it in the NBA.
