Not to mention this 1st round of this draft is the quickest and most extreme change in value of the players being picked. 


It starts out as "all-star" and quickly drops to "good player"

But who are you going to have the most fun with?

Have fun!

  • I left Indiana. Because it was horrible.
I'm open to trade away 1.4, i'm looking for a veteran swingman or PF who brings equal(ish) value as the pick. Let me know!
CB Draft Bucks: Chris Paul, Dwight Howard, Tobias Harris, Zach LaVine, Aaron Afflalo, Jeff Green, Donatas Motiejunas, Jarrett Jack, Frank Kaminsky, Lance Stephenson, JaVale McGee, Shane Larkin, Nick Young

DKC Bucks. Also terrible.

They're starting to come together though. Aren't the Knicks on a 3 game winning streak?

He forgot to draft Lin.

Against the Nets, Carmelo shot 3-for-15.

Against the Jazz, Amare didn't play, and Carmelo played 5 minutes.

Against the Wizards, neither played.

I'm not sure if that stretch of games is proof that the Amare/Carmelo Knicks are coming together.  In fact, it possibly suggests the opposite; they do better when they're missing one or both of their stars.

Don't need to break up Amare and Melo ... just need to build a supporting cast that complements Amare and Melo better than the current Knicks' supporting cast does.

A little more playmaking, more depth and a better head coach.

I might've known that the Knicks were on a 3 game winning streak w/o Melo and Amare...

It might say that the most important member of that team when it comes to winning is Tyson Chandler.

No, he's right. I don't even know what I was thinking.
