Knicks draft pick starting to become valuable ?

No Baron, no Carmelo

 

What's wrong with Melo?

This blows cause my little brother loves him and I was planning on taking him to the game this weekend for his b-day. Bummer.

But.... YAY! For us, better chance to win, bet Amare goes off tho.

 

[rquoter]Carmelo taking next two games off to rest his injuries, D'Antoni says. Could return tues[/rquoter]

 

**** without Melo no ball stopping; without Melo they are more dangerous.

 

Now the Knicks have a chance against us. Can we get NO luck whatsoever?

 

without a point guard.

May miss game against pistons too.

 

Lin vs. Lowry...

 

Yes, this. And adding Phil Jax even more so. Let's hope that one waits until post-Secaucus.

 

You guys seriously believe that they are better WITHOUT Melo?

He is all they have.

 

Throw another L on the pile...

 

If the Knicks lose the game against the Rockets, they will tie the Nets for the 7th worst record in the league.

No 'Melo.

 

I really think this pick could end in the lotto. They are just an injury away from being terrible. I don't think Bdiddy is gonna be there savior.

I hope we make the playoffs and the NY pick still sets us around 10 or 11. (Trying to be hopeful and realistic) although I realize they probably will still make the playoffs.

 

I'm starting to worry this pick may be too high. Lol!

 

Amare is on $18M this season

 

Dear lord, please let the Knicks get the 6th pick in the 2012 draft, thank you !

The Knicks will have to have one of the 2 worst records to have a 100% chance of drafting in the top 5. They will have to have one of the 3 worst records to have at least a 96% chance of being in the top 5. If they have the 4th worst record, they have a 82.8% chance of being in the top 5. If the 5th worst, they have a 55.2% chance of being in the top 5. If 6th worst, the chance drops to 21.5%. If 7th, it drops to 15.1%, and it gets lower and lower from there.

Realistically, they really have to have one of the 4 worst records in the league to feel pretty safe (82%) about keeping the pick, and I doubt they can really out-tank some of the truely horrible teams (CHA, WAS, Detroit, SAC, Toronto, New Orleans(NO is not that horrible, but being in the West, they'll play a significantly tougher schedule)).

 

They got these 2 guys named Amare Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler.

 

If the Knicks can't turn this around soon, they may start purposely tanking to get a top 5 pick.

 

Can they out-tank the other tanking teams?
