Told y'all about that watch for Dolan Cash ;-)

Knicks have their agenda established indeed haha .. I get it but its wacky to see it unfold here.

Lakers just did it too.

I think its for cap space reasons more than anything else

2 things are happening, we’re trying to free up space to re-sign some free agents and also avoid going over the 2nd apron which dolan stated he doesn’t want to do

You're wrong. This is about the second apron, not about spending money.

Dolan spends, including on things that help the team win. He got rid of a coach who was set to make like 40 mill so they could then hire Mike Brown and give him a other 40 mill.

Kayil is a really great pick. First round talent

Would you mind expanding? Knicks fan who didn't follow the draft closely and knows nothing about him. Cheers.

has been playing against top competition overseas and against top US prospects in U18 and U19 international tournaments. Really good size for a combo guard. Inconsistent shot but he can run an offense, has some scoring chops and can defend. Similar prospect to Brayden Burries imho. I assume he's a draft and stash which sucks for him but I'm betting he eventually makes it over

a game from a couple of months ago

Thanks, very interesting

Lakers and Dallas involved in another blockbuster! This time, headlined by Vsevolod Ishchenko

EDIT: So Lakers bought this pick a few hours ago then sold it? Guess they got sniped (Veesar?)

I'm shocked how well spoken Shumpert is.

You clearly haven't wasted enough time on YouTube shorts.

Or watched the BET Hip Hop Cypher, or Starz Power, or Showtime's The Chi :lol:

Is he a point guard or a shooter? Because that’s what we’ve needed the last 15 years.

6'8 Center. We are recreating the glory days of Khem Birch

6’8 center and we chose him? Our backup point guard is the same height.

We zig with small ball Cs while the league Zags with 7'4 Wemby Cs

It must suck to get drafted late in the 2nd round and then immediately get traded to another team for cash. I'd prefer to go undrafted and cut a deal with the team of my choice.
Some agents do request that, at this stage.

Knicks trading for the sake of trading lol

Nelson a good pick for the Magic!
He's good, remember him from college (USF).

Brad Stevens can't draft. I know this sounds insane given how biased this board and the NBA media is and how much they praise every move they make but I'm just not seeing it from him. Almost all of their success is owed to Danny Ainge who drafted Brown, Tatum, and Pritchard. I'll hand it to Brad for his trades and FA though.

Hugo Gonzales sez hold my beer

Orlando did? How? Free agency hasn't started yet. He was under a two-way with the Spurs.

Im confused, too.

There were rumors that the Orlando Magic are reaching out to him and signing him away from us.

I expected the Spurs to tender him a RFA offer sheet even as a two-way. I mean, Orlando has no cap space, but maybe the Spurs are willing to allow him to leave to join Sweeney. I guess we'll have to see.

Gotcha.

Yup. Magic new coach Sweeney (former Spurs assistant

Page 65 in our offseason thread in our board. Not a lot of us gave it that much thought.

Apologies if that source might not be that legit.

Gotcha.

But ya, Magic new coach Sweeney (former Spurs assistant
