Taft is still not a bad option imho. If they come to a decision that chris Taft is the best fit both short and LONg term for the Knicks, I live with it and will feel good that we didnt trade the pick for short term gratification.
BUt I dont want to draft for short term gratification either. Just because Chris is more advanced than other bigs today, they must project tomorrow. Its not about next year
I agree with you. Getting Taft is good for us now and in the long term. You can further fortify the pick with either Morris, Bynum, or Frye at 30. What would really be a coup for us wouldbe if IT is able to get an extra pick. I really do hope that Memphis is shopping their pick and that we can acquire it from them. I want Warrick and if we can that pick and he is available, that would be beautiful.
Dude, I don't disagree with the Taft sentiment, but the idea that Bynum, Morris or Frye will be around when we pick 30th is just not accurate. The only way we get one of those guys is to trade up to Memphis' 19th pick. Even then, I can pretty much guarantee you that Frye and Bynum will be long gone. If we REALLY want either Frye or Bynum or Blatche, the place to get them is at 8. Hey, I'd love to get two of them, but it's not gonna happen.
Taft, Bynum, Frye, Blatche will ALL be gone by 16. We have to decide which one of them we want at 8 and take him with no regrets. We can't trade to get two of them, it just won't happen. Toronto is trying to use their 16th pick to move UP to 4.
