    Yeah, that would be perfect, do any of you guys know much about some of the other big guys like Tiago Splitter and Yi Jianlian. Spencer Hawes from Washington is a great offensive player, I don't know if he'll come out or not, but he won't be there when we draft, only if he was.

    I know a lot about Tiago Splitter. Wrote my thoughts on him in the Foreign Basketball forum. You can check it out over there if you like.

    The Knicks keep losing, and are looking horrible heading into the last two weeks of the season. Hopefully, they continue to lose and improve our draft position. If everything goes according to order in the lottery as of this point, we would have the tenth overall pick.

    I wouldn't be laughing, I'd be hitting myself in the head over and over with the remote control from believing I had just gone completely insane. lol

    I can see it happening though. We need a bit of luck like that.

    I hope that we do get 1 or 2. We could use it to trade for a big if oden doesnt come out or if we want kg or someone like him.

    I would be incredible if the Bulls got the number one/two pick considering that the Knicks only have a .8% chance at getting the pick. I would be satisfied if we got Roy Hibbert.

    If Tiago Splitter's contract is clean and the team would have nothing to worry about with him playing here I'd be satisfied with taking him in the draft. He's not a project, he can come in and contribute right away if given the opportunity. I've been watching the guy for years. His only downside would be as Deng's, that is to build more muscle.

    Their r certain guys n the league u dont pass up on and 1 guy is Jermaine O'neal. He does have a big contract but if he becomes available u got 2 look into it. The thing is that he is n our division. One thing that we can offer iS our pick. Indiana does not own a 1st round pick this season and im sure when they do trade him they will want 1. Also, the NYK's could possibly end up with a 5th pick depending on whether our not teams tank and playoff teams rest their players. If our pick does become a 3-5 pick because NYK was the 5th worst team then i would trade it 4 a post-player. If u remember, not 2 many people wanted Pau Gasol so not 2 many people would want O'neal who has a bigger contract.

    So 2 me, it depends on if the NYK get the 5th worst record this season i really believe we have a shot at Gasol or O'neal over the offseason without trading Hinrich, Gordon, Deng, Wallace, and Thomas if they do.

    The reason Memphis wanted Deng is because our pick was 10th at the time which is not enough 2 satify any1 but if our pick is 3rd-5th then i think they would want that more then one of our core players especially when a team could pick up some1 close 2 Deng's game n the free agency like Gerald Wallace or someone. Id take O'neal over Gasol. Hes worth more but he does more. O'neal play defense and i think will work harder than Gasol.

    If we went after O'Neal you can say goodbye to re-signing Deng and Gordon.

    c i get confused about this not having enough money 4 resigning players and stuff when team have players with bigger contracts that can.

    Dallas can pay 4 Dirk, Dampier, Terry, Howard, soon will be Stackhouse and Harris and no1 says anything about them.

    ^ That's what I never understand with contracts in the NBA.

    Look at who New York pay.
