Woj saying Knicks pursuing deals to move back... I think if D'Angelo Russell falls to 4 we need to get on the phones with NY immediately after the 3rd pick

if anything, Russell's stock is rising. Okafor has a better chance of falling unless these are huge smokescreens.

Who do you guys want at 4 assuming Towns, Okafor and Russell are off the board? 

Also would you all be willing to trade Kemba + 9 to move up? I don't know who else the Knicks would want but I am assuming it would have to include Kemba. 

At that point I take Mudiay. Porzingis is a need but a project and another point guard is much more important especially if Kemba is included in the deal.

So do you think Mudiay is a big upgrade to Kemba + 9? I do not know much about him. 

I agree about Porzingis. I like him for some reason but I know why. I would hope we can get rid of Zeller + 9 to get Porzingis but I don't think thats likely.

mudiay would be better day one.  His jumper and ft shooting is questionable but thats the only real knocks.  Great kid with about as much upside as any player outside of towns

Getting rid of Vonleh makes no sense if we just turn around and take Porzingis.

Good to hear bc I have a feeling we are going to trade up but who knows I am usually wrong with the Hornets.

Yeah I guess it would be trading out one project for another but in the process we pick up a starting SG that we don't have to wait on.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
