I fear this Melo trade might have hurt our chances at the LAL Pick conveying this summer.
Knicks were going to be bad but now they are REALLY bad with Melo gone (Kanter is no scrub, but he's not as good as Melo either).
Man I wish Ainge fought for some more favorable protections from that LAL Pick, like 2-7, not just 2-5.
Even a player from 6-10 in this upcoming draft would be spectacular (it's a DEEP draft loaded with big men). But only chance is 2-5....
Its too early to really judge a draft, but Ive heard several times that the '18 draft looks like on of the least deep drafts in recent memory. Remarkably top-heavy.
That's also what I've heard, that it's basically a 5-man draft.
The East gets worse but the West gets better. So my hope is, this translates to the bottom West teams (Sacramento, Phoenix, LA) having really low wins numbers and the bottom East teams managing more wins because they're all trying to lose against one another and someone will have to win some of those games.
