Don't get too attached to these picks in this upcoming draft. I think it's likely all will be traded at the deadline for an impact player.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too. I’m still keeping my eye on Mitch and a pick going to Indiana for Turner.

lol not happening. No team in the Knicks position gives up a first round pick for a guy who is more injury prone than Mitch and will be an UFA.

At least set your trade expectations up to be more in line with what teams would give up in this situation.

Mitch is on a descending 4 year contract that starts at $17M and ends at $13M, that's an incredible value contract for his output and situation.

It would be a protected pick (not a Knicks pick) but Turner is really good. You underrate him. And he’s CAA now so the extension stuff would already be arranged.

dude he's a contract year player.

Right, plus he is due to get hurt and miss 20 games any time now

yeah, but he did say he was "CAA"! Its like prepay. Its all worked out!
LOL....
CAA has the biggest market share of any agency by far. How many times we gonna read "CAA" and what that do?
How did ths all get started? Dolan runs what kind of business? entertainment. What do you do when you own MSG, Radio city music hall, The beacon theatre, The chicago Theatre, Marquee day/nite club vegas, about 20 restuarants and night clubs, MSG Entertainment is building a new state-of-the-art venue in Las Vegas, MSG Sphere at The Venetian, and has also announced plans to build a second MSG Sphere in London, pending necessary approvals. MSG Entertainment’s other properties include Boston Calling Events, which produces New England’s premier Boston Calling Music Festival, and Tao Group Hospitality with popular dining and nightlife brands that include: Tao, Hakkasan, Omnia, Marquee, Lavo, Beauty & Essex and Cathédrale.

CAA clients play life concerts. You want to work with them. CAA represents Basketball players too. They all can't play for knicks.

Exactly!!

Do not trade these picks this season - this draft is supposedly going to be the best draft ever. Get talent in this draft.

Dump Quickly and anyone else for 2023 picks (23 - the jordan number!)

Believe its a mistake to trade Quickley now. The knocks on his game were a problem getting to the rim. Relying on his floater. That and D that could use some improvement. Quickley has addressed both issues.

This version of Quickley has been playing for just a handful for games. So we can draft a player with mostly question marks. I'd like to see IQ finish the season. Was against the move to make him a PG. A waste of his skills as a gunner. If they dont want to make him a starting SG, would like to see him stay as a 6th man.

I’m as big a Wemby fan as anyone but he looks like a better Porzingis without the douchiness. Is that generational? I guess

This one

Right now the Mavs like so many teams including the Knicks are at .500 or near and logjammed in the playoff hunt. In the East only 3 or 4 games separate positions 4 through 12ish, similar in the West. A lot of basketball to be played, but both the Knicks own pick and the Mavs’ could end up right in the same neighborhood, just inside or just outside the lottery.

Not to worry, Kemba gonna keep them in line and make sure they hover just above .500

Haven't learned your lesson from counting on Kemba? 25th pick in the draft incoming!

Thats 3 roster spots for 3 rookies. Keep Rose (he's expiring). All the young guys are back under contract except Cam. I would expect him to get a full MLE type offer (unless he's just terrible or exploded) and I would expect us to match something like that

Unless there's a player really worth trading for you stay the course and the let the youth fight for rotation minutes and keep the best

Stay the course. 2 years isnt really much time to build a pro sports team

Fixed it. Otherwise, solid plan.

same. I love what he is doing and think the Knicks do too

+100

The two guys that have really taken that next step forward this year are IQ and Cam. IQ has improved pretty much all areas of his game except his shot, but since that's been shaky we got the flavor of the week crowd crying "draft picks!"

He's got to stay.

Knicks sign the best offseason FA while at the same time increasing value of their top 11 protected first round pick next year. Win-Win.
