Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 2240935, member: 1026"] How did Sacto win the draft while passing on Monk twice yet Knicks missed by passing on Monk? On Porzingis the story was Knicks wanted 2017 #3, next year's BKN #1 AND Brown AND Crowder, like I said any combo of players was workable but 2 solid players and 2 draft picks was too steep. So in your scenario above they wouldn't have Crowder who although an average starter is a very attractive trade asset due to his contract. I agree with consensus that Philly won the draft (move was win-win for Philly Boston at this point with final outcome hopefully TBD over 15yrs debating who is better Fultz or Tatum). I'm excited for this Sixers team and the rubber finally meeting the road on the process. Fultz said it best - playoffs or bust. Among the NBA championship contending teams, nothing changed. Maybe Houston & Spurs added players that will contribute but equal or better bet that GSW did. Even best case scenario for Tatum doesn't vault Celtics into true comp for LeBron unless/until they add a free agent. [/QUOTE]
