| You really should have the top 3 pick in the lottery to get a game changer and they were unable to get one. Now, they are not in good shape, I don't think. |

| Nope. Both are laughing their way to the bank. No sympathy for Knicks who have messed up for decades now despite being in the biggest market. |

Nope. They will still get an excellent player, have tons of cap space and hopefully a healthier Melo. They'll be fine. Oh and they're in the East.

| No because if they were to get something higher than #4 it would have been at our expense. |

Russell Westbrook was drafted #4 behind Michael Beasley and OJ Mayo. Chris Paul was drafted #4 behind Deron Williams and Marvin Williams.
If you think there is some guarantee in drafting in the top 3, you're deluding yourself. |

| These guys have made and continue to make so much money that I'm not going to feel sorry for them over something like this. |

Hell no.
Phil ripped apart the team in a deliberate attempt to tank the season. They'll still end up with a decent player.

I'd gladly trade Randle for the #4 pick and use to draft DeAngelo Russell.
Sign Kevin Love to be the PF.
PG - Russell
G - Kobe
C - Okafor
F - XYZ
PF - Love

Hell no
We put up with his below average guard skills, why would I want to see him or Phil get back to winning before us? |

Nah, it was their plan to dismantle and tank it's just they didn't win. I feel the same as if they would have won, though it's annoying that NY was such a huge storyline for the lottery.
It's a rough spot for them because a top 3 would have given you a triangle friendly player. Porzingis may have the best upside, but does NY have the patience for a year or two of strengthening him and limited minutes? Mudiay doesn't fit the triangle, so they'll have to hope for someone to really love him or a WCS to trade up to secure them. |

There's no guarantee the 76ers pass up Russell with their third pick. |
Actually with Mini and us getting the first two picks, we may have made things easier on Philly. They have plenty of big men, not a lot of shooters or good playmakers. They should draft either Russell or Winslow. |

Knicks will still get a good player, just not the center(s) they wanted.
Either PG's could be just as good or impact changing as the two centers in this years draft,but I guess its moot when you have Melo on the Knicks...
A blue chip center would've been a better player to compliment the Knicks alongside Melo since they wouldn't take the ball out of either one's hands. |

east is so weak, I COULD see knicks getting a top 3 seed soon..
draft mudiay, sign marc gasol... ties to phil and calderon
C
Gasol
PF
Bargs, Aldrich
SF
Melo, Early
SG
Hardaway, Galloway
PG
Mudiay, Calderon
If Mudiay is a star that is one of the better teams in the east. |

Look at the bright side:
This "helps" ensure the Knicks get a high draft pick next season..!
I am glade this happened most to MELO, who toyed with signing with the Lakers and cannot save the Knicks mess...

I think this is good for the league, because it will serve as a lesson to teams who think it's a good idea to just dump your team and tank

Will the Knicks have a 2016 First Round pick? |

Dude, I would have felt way sorrier for the Lakers if it was them!!
You are wasting your energy worrying about the wrong people.

And I think Randle will be a much better NBA player than Russell. As for the thread, no, why would I feel bad, I am not a Knicks fan.
