NBA 2018-2019

I’m still mad that Stern vetoed the Chris Paul trade from NO to LA in 2011. We haven’t been the same since.

It’s karma that this time our trade with NO goes through and we reclaim our place as the NBA’s best franchise.

LeBron’s new team has a higher pick than his old team and his new team tried to win.

 

[rrlbees]

RJ Barrett isn’t better than Zion.
The Knicks being the Knicks could take Cam Reddish for all we know.

Watch and learn.

Cleveland has been the luckiest franchise at the lottery in NBA history in the 2000’s. Not to mention the luck of LeBron being born in Ohio in the first place. It’s high time they took an L at the lottery. After they picked Anthony Bennett, they should never be allowed to pick number 1 again!

Barrett is SOFT

 

[KaiserUEO]

So the Knicks could offer 3, the Mavs picks and Smith Jr. for Anthony Davis.

The Pelicans could have the Duke teammates.

They gave up much less for Melo and took a ton of shlit for it.

Not happening.

 

[OrangeDW]

My only concern with Barrett is how good of a shooter he will be. If he’s just a decent shooter, he’ll be a pretty good player.

If he’s a really good shooter, he’ll be a superstar IMO.

Jury is out on that. He’s got good all around skills and size/athleticism IMO. So basically, is he Billy Owens or is he Carmelo Anthony?

LeBron’s new team has a higher pick than his old team and his new team tried to win.

Just another example of LeBron the GM playing chess when the rest of the GMs are playing checkers.

Kingmate!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

So anybody else find it hilarious that the way this draft lotto shook out the West is once again positioned to come away with the elite talent?

 

[OrangeDW]

So tanking is basically dead now, right? Bottom 3 teams got 3rd, 5th, and 7th?

Message well received, NBA.

Thanks, Philadelphia.

Pretty much the Knicks tankathon season was all for not.

 

[Briancuse]

Very true. I wouldn’t be mad at getting Barrett though.

He will be good but Zion and morant are a step above.

 

[longislandcuse]

#3 and whatever/whoever you want that’s not named Mitch, for AD.

Re Zion... I wanted Zion in NY selfishly, but this is just such a lame landing spot for the most hyped player since Lebron.

 

[Alsacs]

It’s amazing how much better TNT does at producing these NBA games over ESPN.
The music in out of commercials/camera angles/studio show and Marv Albert at PBP.

Not really as nba players.

Everybody always says it’s a two player draft, the draft is weak and there always end up being great players after the first couple picks.

Bol Bol won’t be the Greek Freak but he will be a stud IMO.

Are you saying Barrett will be a better pro than the other 2?

 

[rrlbees]

I’ve constantly heard 3 player draft.

 

[rrlbees]

At least as good if not better.

 

[Briancuse]

At least as good if not better.

I like Barrett but I have questions about his shooting.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I’ve constantly heard 3 player draft.

And even then people are wrong every year. All the top guys left in the final four were picked 5 to 15.

 

[Knicks411]

Pretty much the Knicks tankathon season was all for not.

It was, and it wasn't. If they didn't tank quite as hard and finished second or third worst, they'd be much worse off.

I think Barrett and Morant are roughly similar prospects, with Zion on another level. So the Knicks at least staying in the top 3 is good. And getting the Dallas pick to convey to Atlanta, meaning it's a year closer that the dallas picks convey to them, is nice. I'm heartbroken that we can't get Zion, but I think today is like a 7 out of 10 for the Knicks

How dare you disrespect Evan Turner like that!

 

[Cusefan0307]

Personally I wish the Knicks got Morant if they didn’t get Zion, but what ya gonna do.

I wanted morant to be honest with you.
