Message: [QUOTE="Jasoncuse, post: 1417137, member: 470"] Thing is, other than Cauley-Stein or Winslow, I guess, who exactly is going to help the Knicks at #4 THIS YEAR? Mudiay is basically as raw, Hezonja - who knows? If Porzingis can get some time this year and step into a larger role the next year, while continuing to improve, it's a win for the Knicks. He probably had the highest ceiling there. The Knicks weren't going to add a stud immediate contributor unless Russell/Okafor fell to them. The whole key to contending soon is free agency and the Knicks are set up pretty well to get help there. Their biggest problems are Carmelo and his contract, and winning the last 2 games of this past year to push them out of the top 3 in the lottery. Two monster long-lasting effects that were avoidable... [/QUOTE]
