The Knicks talk about building a good defensive team, then they trade for Mudiay and show interest in another of the worst defenders in the league.

Havent watched Hezonja much since getting drafted. Interesting he might have a vote of confidence from Perry, but Payton hasnt. Might believe the European connection with Frank, KP, will help build chemistry.

Would definitely take a chance on him at this point. This is when you pick up a guy like this...He shouldn't be able to command a large contract, even though he's improved each year in the league.
I think he can play D when motivated...his biggest issue has usually been a desire to be the alpha dog and not play within a system. Hopefully he's matured. I think he's worth a small gamble right now- but you don't go overboard. EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

Said we want to save a portion of the MLE for Robinsons contract, which I don't quite understand the reasoning behind? Np way Hezonja signs for that, so the people that didn't want him can relax |

Apparently they don't want to give him a deal that is longer than one year. I think that is a huge risk. I think Robinson is the Knick center for the next ten years if things workout. I thought this draft was like when the Pacers got George and Stephenson in the same draft. I don't think Robinson has issues like Lance but I do think he could be ca cornerstone piece for the franchise. I'm tired,I'm tired, I'm so tired right now......Kristaps Porzingis 1/3/18

If this goes down, which I'm hoping it does, that would means we'd have picks #4, #5, and #7 from the 2015 NBA draft.
