BroadwayJoe12 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Average life expectancy for a hobbit is 100 years. I can't believe I know this. I'd mock, but I also know that the average life expectancy of a Dunedain is three times that of the average man. Sooo anyway, if I'm reading you correctly, you're saying we aren't going to outlive him. Gotcha. Plan B it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hey guys! Good news! On the Monday before the most important Knicks draft in 30 years. Guess what our head exec was doing? Taking phone calls? Nope. Scouring game tape? Nope. Reading every single last report over and over until his eyes bleed? Nope. Ready? He was at Radio City. Attending a Lady Gaga concert.

It's really impressive how much he doesn't give a **** about flaunting it either. It's like when he put that hat on as soon as he passed Auerbach. Suuuuuuch a tool.

SMC Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 **** hope, but maybe ... just maybe, Jackson, because of Jeanie Buss has inside info on what the Lakers will do which helps out the Knicks. For instance, the latest rumors are that the Lakers, if they can't trade for Cousins, will pick Russell rather than Okafor. In that scenario, it forces Sixers' hand to draft Porzingis because they'd try to trade down to accumulate another asset, but can't because the Magic will jump on Porzingis at 5. That means Okafor will land in Jackson's lap. Pipe dream, I know, but Jax smoked dope and might be sly as a fox. Or he simply doesn't give a ****, which is likely, but still...

JohnnyHector Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I'm already prepared for the most disappointing draft since I heard Steph Curry's name announced right before the Knicks selected Jordan F'ing Hill, and being told that he was going to be Antoni's Amare 2.0. I really don't know why I continue to watch sports and actually care. Next year will mark 30 years since I got to see one of my teams win a championship.

He's trying to trade down. F that just stay put and get Mudiay. Only trade down I'm not intensely opposed to would be to 7 to Denver for Ty Lawson and WCS.

JohnnyHector Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Continue to watch. And care. And come back just to flagellate over the most pointless draft this side of baseball. I don't disagree... the only time it's not pointless is when you luck into a #1 pick with a can't-miss talent on the board. Clearly, I wouldn't put Towns in that category, but I do think that his ceiling is as high as anyone's in the draft, as is his floor. Barring injury, it's tough to imagine him not being at least a good rotation player. I don't know that you can say that for anyone else in this draft outside of Okafor (who isn't a natural fit on every team) and WCS, which is why the whole process is a crapshoot and one that the Knicks are destined to screw up no matter who they pick.

SMC Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The Celtics are apparently in talks with Philly to move up to #3 if Okafor drops. Dropping from 3 to 16 is a hell of a drop for Philly, even with gaining extra assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 For the record, I am against the Knicks swapping 1st rounders for an extra player like Bledsoe. The Knicks need extra picks, real picks, not 2nd rounders. A 2015 swap, plus a vet and a 2016 1st is worth the 4th pick IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Dropping from 3 to 16 is a hell of a drop for Philly, even with gaining extra assets. Boston also has the Clippers pick this year and four #1's next year - their own, Brooklyn (unprotected), Dallas (1-7 protected until 2021, when it's unprotected), and Minnesota (1-12 protected, otherwise it becomes two #2's, so the least attractive of the four). The way Hinkie has been operating, I can seem him going for quantity over quality and avoiding having to pay another top-3 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Just treat the next 7 hours as if we already botched the draft, so when it happens you're not shocked and if it doesn't, you can be relatively pleased. Similar to getting blown out in the first quarter, you come to terms with the loss much quicker and it doesn't sting so badly at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
