Me either but he has more value to someone than fucking Saric. As much as i don't want Ball, I would do that trade in a heartbeat.
So you want to trade Saric for Ball because you think we can trade Ball to someone else for more return?
Yes. You can say "Well if they would get more in return why would they trade for Saric" They never would do this anyway but lets just say that the Lakers loved Saric and wanted him more than anyone else offered. Yes, I reflip Ball.

Worse case scenario we are stuck with Ball. I would much rather have him than Saric. Gives us a young PG with a pulse as much as I'm not a fan.

I don't think Saric is the future here.

I don't like Saric... I am tired of these fragile Euros that are afraid of their own shadow.

Saric is Taj's replacement.
Yuck. So they plan on playing no defense in the paint. Towns and Saric= dog shit D in the paint.
Saric is tougher than he's given credit for and KAT simply needs to improve. If you think some 19 year old rookie makes up for Taj Gibson next season, I'll take some of your rock that you're smoking.
Tough is watching Saric per 36 numbers of 8 boards and 1 blk + stl. You think he's fine? How about That half a block Taj brings every game? How on earth will a rookie with actual athletic ability and length do that?

You don't need any more rock.

I'd love the 4th. Out pick of PGs not named Morant. $$$
We just might get our pick of Garland/White at the 10th spot.

We might. But we absolutely would at 4. Or we could maybe trade back and still get one.

I'd be mad the Mavs get Ja but that'd be hilarious to see the meltdown of the Knicks fans.

They are already melting down from this news.

I personally love the Knicks, MSG, NY Basketball. I hope Zion lands there.

Any word on if the rehearsals are historically the actual picks?

First time it's happened I believe. They are saying that it's just a run through.

I know a couple year's ago something happened where some hats or something got leaked and it proved false.

Few years ago during rehearsal there was a Boston Celtics logo on the video board for the first pick.

Unfortunately, its a bit like buying a Powerball ticket.
All we got is hope........a long shot, but its hope. :thumbsup:
We need to get lucky!
Wolves will get the 11th pick and take a PF to replace Taj. PJ Washington or Brandon Clarke are good possibilities. 1st pick isn't happening. This is the Wolves we are talking about here. We don't get nice things.
Not a surprise that I was right about the 11th pick. I think that the Wolves will go with one of these two PFs as well.
