Breadstein selects the Knicks
And I'll keep Anthony and Chandler
In a league where salaries don't matter, I think grabbing a top-10 player and a solid defensive and rebounding C this late in the round is a steal.
Yep, me too. I had them in my top ten. Actually, the Knicks were my second choice at pick #7.
Melo and Tyson are a very good combo to build around. A top go-to scorer and a top defensive anchor. Gives you a good foundation to build with on both ends of the court. Both non-PGs (league's deepest position). Lots of flexibility.
The Knicks supporting cast has hurt them so much this season. The big Italian has been awful. Their starting PG and 6th man have been killing them. Their old star big man hasn't helped. So many non-contributors to net negatives in that supporting cast. The CB Pick II Draft is a great draft to fix bad supporting casts because you keep your stars and dump the rest. Allows NYK to fix it's problems and build a very strong team.
I think NYC has a top three combo in the East.
