If they get the #7 pick and take Markkanen while Monk & Smith are still on the board, Knicks fans will burn down the Barclays Center. Please let this happen.A. Sherrod BlakelyVerified account @SherrodbCSN 53s53 seconds ago

If they get Markkanen and 1 of them at 7&8 they will at least keep half the building unharmed.If they get the #7 pick and take Markkanen while Monk & Smith are still on the board, Knicks fans will burn down the Barclays Center. Please let this happen.
Right, I forgot they still had 8. Still, that won't go over well if they pick him. Fingers crossed.If they get Markkanen and 1 of them at 7&8 they will at least keep half the building unharmed.
Possibly, but things seem to be getting more specific now. Fun stuff.Could the future pick they got from Philly (Lakers in '18 or SAC/Philly in '19) be part of the deal for the 7th? That pick plus Bradly and maybe a Celtics first? Then #3, #7 and Crowder for Porzingis?
Still think Phil is jerking us around, either way.
Didn't Knicks fan hate the Porzingis pick?Right, I forgot they still had 8. Still, that won't go over well if they pick him. Fingers crossed.
NY fans hate every pick that isn't they guy who scored the most points/touchdowns in college.Didn't Knicks fan hate the Porzingis pick?
Or David Stern aided.NY fans hate every pick that isn't they guy who scored the most points/touchdowns in college.
Sounds like Bradley would be a better fit then.Thibs had a damnable time getting the Wolves to play D last season. And he's going to trade Rubio (a good defensive player) and acquire IT4?? Scoring wasn't a huge problem for them.
This is pretty funny.NY fans hate every pick that isn't they guy who scored the most points/touchdowns in college.
Giggity.Coworkers buddy works at CAA, said to expect it to happen tonight for two picks at least. Everything they're hearing is KP to Boston. Grain of salt and all that.
LAL/SAS are connected. It is one or the other. 2-5 next year, 2-29 the year after (best it can be is # 2, worst it could be would be #29 if in some stupid world SAC and PHI finish with the two best records).A couple of questions: Anyway it's possible to get KP without giving up #3? Also when it comes to the LAL/SAC pick, are they connected? Can they trade the LAL pick while keeping the '19 Sac pick with the #1 protection?
Hard to see any deal for Porzingis that doesn't involve #3.A couple of questions: Anyway it's possible to get KP without giving up #3? Also when it comes to the LAL/SAC pick, are they connected? Can they trade the LAL pick while keeping the '19 Sac pick with the #1 protection?

An agency, not the one that reps Porzingis, fwiw.What is CAA?
Didn't DA already turn down #3 for Butler straight up?I'm guessing Danny gets # 7 from Wolves. Trades the # 3 + for Butler, and selects Isaac with # 7. Porzingis stays put.
I sure hope notDidn't DA already turn down #3 for Butler straight up?
Dude, it happened at 31 Flavors. I think we can trust it.Well, every thread concerning a major trade has one. Behold, the 1st of it's kind in regards to the Porzingis rumors:

Aldridge feeling left out in the rumors biz?David AldridgeVerified account @daldridgetnt 7h7 hours ago
Factor in potential Porzingis trades: Knicks think KP would have been 1st overall in draft this year & next & want picks reflecting that.
Well, this year's number one just went for the number 3 and the protected Lakers pick. I'd lean towards making that deal right now. Obviously have to throw in a player to make the salaries work.David AldridgeVerified account @daldridgetnt 7h7 hours ago

#3, LAL '18 (with protections) or Philly/SAC '19 (with protections). That is the up to the minute price on the #1 pick.Aldridge feeling left out in the rumors biz?
Yes, but it seems that rarely does any trade get consummated.The NBA draft is the most entertaining time of the year
Hope sells.Yes, but it seems that rarely does any trade get consummated.
"Source familiar with the talks between Knicks and Celtics told ESPN that New York's demands for Kristaps Porzingis are "ridiculous." Also the source gives the sense that Boston will likely keep its No. 3 pick to draft a player and not trade down again."

Celtics unnamed executive to Phil: Hey Phil you are high and what you want is way too much. Come down a bit and we'll talk.
Phil needs his afternoon nap. He'll be sleeping during the draft and Dolan will be singing. Knicks fans must be stoked."Source familiar with the talks between Knicks and Celtics told ESPN that New York's demands for Kristaps Porzingis are "ridiculous."

The depression sets in afterwards. Until then, it's fun to dream.Yes, but it seems that rarely does any trade get consummated.
Can't sign a max FA if you trade for Butler first.I sure hope not
Well, Phil really taught KP a lesson!!!!NBA source with knowledge of talks says 1) Phil's asking price is very high for Porzingis and 2) doesn't think anything happens w #Celtics
It could be #30 - one team gets the best record in the league, other one makes the lottery and gets the #1 pick. Celtics get #30. The only pick the C's can't get (if the LAL pick is outside of 2-5) is the #1.LAL/SAS are connected. It is one or the other. 2-5 next year, 2-29 the year after (best it can be is # 2, worst it could be would be #29 if in some stupid world SAC and PHI finish with the two best records).
Of course there is a way to get KP without # 3, but doubtful

Tweeting to a player under contract that he is welcome in their city isn't quite tampering but I defer to our army of SoSH attorneys here.Doesn't the NBA have tampering rules?
