Imagine if the Lakers had a promising young point guard and weren't basically forced to draft a new one at #2

I'm so sorry Rick

Yeah you beat me to it. They had the pieces to fleece Phil yesterday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Jackson should just put his money where his mouth is and stretch Melo.

I don't hate myself enough to watch Knicks games, how sure of a thing is Porzingis? His stats look average, which honestly isn't a huge red flag for a guy that young on a team that bad. But he's also been injured a few times, correct?

Don't get me wrong, I'd be flipping my poo poo if I was a Knicks fan, but what are the chances this trade doesn't look totally terrible 5 years from now?

a literal thing you think.

He's really good and a perfect player for a modern big, but I'm wary of his health. He sprints down the court and takes cuts that can't be healthy for someone who's 7'3".

Athletic 7'3 Center who can knock down a 3. Kind of perfect for today's NBA.

i would bet that that could be improved if he goes to another team that isnt too dysfunctional to have any trainers that can teach players to move better and not derrick rose themselves to death

Agreed. I'm sick of Jackson constantly poo poo talking Melo to the media trying to shame him and get him to be annoyed enough that he would agree to waive his no trade clause or whatever. You're the dumb rear end in a top hat that signed him to the contract.

It makes me really happy that Melo has just told the Knicks to gently caress themselves and smiled as he cashed his big rear end checks.

Ancient Phil Jackson in his 1970s Knicks gear vs Melo in the 1849 Gold Rush Miner clothes that he got someone to stencil his name and number on that he currently wears in the squared circle would be pretty wonderful.

Even as a draft fan, and a fan of watching the whole draft, the second round might be pretty rough this year since it's mostly the same teams. Although the Celtics literally making up names or prospects by the end might be cool.

By the way, incredibly amused that the Wizards got a way better point guard that can space the floor in Frazier for a 2nd rounder while the Bulls gave up almost everything for MCW and Payne
