As a Knicks fan, this is a head scratcher. Unless they are trying to move up again, I don’t see why you move up 4 spots without knowing who will be available.
Okoro would be a nice pick for the Knicks too as I love his intensity and athleticism to help boost their D.
Yall see this? What is this kid thinking. He stands to mose millions bc of this stupid interview
The pain and promise of top NBA draft prospect Anthony Edwards
As the biggest day of his life approaches, the Georgia star can't share it with the two people who meant the most to him, a loss that fuels his desire to excel at the next level.www.espn.com
He says he doesn't think about being the first player taken. He'll be ready when the time comes, but "other than that, I don't even care."
"To be honest," he says, "I can't watch basketball."
He retells the story about the first time he dunked and how it signaled to him that he was talented and could accomplish something he might not have been able to in football, which was his first love. So that's the direction he went, simple as that, hanging up his cleats. "That's all I needed to see," he says.
So when after that did he get into basketball?
"I'm still not really into it," he says. "I love basketball, yeah. It's what I do."
He's not entirely convincing. He says if he were drafted by the NFL tomorrow, he'd let basketball go. "Because you can do anything on the field," he explains. "You can spike the ball. You can dance. You can do all type of disrespectful stuff." In the NBA, he says, "you can't do any of that. You'll get fined."
He goes on to say that he's an aspiring rapper. He's already recorded a few tracks with his older brother Bubba. So, like Damian Lillard? "But I really can rap," he says. "Dame, talking about -- I don't know what he's talking about. I'm rapping like Lil Baby." He says he won't release any songs until he's established in the NBA.
I think the trade was to take Flynn, definitely risky because who knows if he's even there. They'll just buy a 2nd to replace the one they tradedThere's likely a group of 2-3 players who they know will be gone at 27 but at least one will be there at 23. It makes plenty of sense. Bane, Terry (who I want), and Flynn are their likely targets.
I'm a big proponent of getting your guy if there's one or two that you really like. The chances of 38 hitting aren't great anyway.

Boston resident who obviously is more of a C's fan as of this past season with our boy in blue. The Hayward to ATL talk last night was interesting, and that combined with Haywards extension deadline being pushed to tomorrow to me means that the teams are waiting to see if Ogonkwu is still on the board at #6, in which case they'll flip picks, send Hayward to ATL and I assume some mediocre big contract comes to C's potentially for a buyout.
I really hope the Celtics don't blow it up to get Harden, because if he's not happy in 3 months, he'll whine and get moved for pennies on the dollar, just not worth blowing it up for a strange player like Harden if there would still not be a proven frontcourt player in Boston.
Looking forward to tonight though because I don't care about football so I am BORED!
Jeter was obsessed with baseball, when his team was knocked out he didn't watch games in October because it burned him up, not the same thing at all.I don’t like guys like this.
But it happens. Jeter was the same way about baseball.
I still think alot more guys than we believe love what the game does for them than actually love the game.
Edwards could end up being a very good player but he also has potential bust written all over him. Would seem to depend in large measure on where he ends up, and even that might not matter.
This is about as unexciting a draft as I can remember.
Ogunkwu would be a dream. He may need a couple years to perform offensively at all, but his defense is just ridiculous. Should be a quicker adjustment for him than most.
Maybe it's the generation of kids that have grown up wanting to be 3 pt assassins. Seems to be some good shooters in the draft that lack athleticism or other skills
Couldn't agree more. Can't remember a draft where the top 3 prospects all seem so risky. I might like Wiseman the best of the bunch but he's far from a sure thing.Edwards could end up being a very good player but he also has potential bust written all over him. Would seem to depend in large measure on where he ends up, and even that might not matter.
