3 games against NJ, 1 against Toronto, 1 against Detroit; should be heavily favored in all of those. The Knicks have a much harder schedule than this and a 2 game deficit, so it's not a huge worry for me (knock on wood), something to keep an eye on though.

At this point I don't even care about the Mavericks pick. I'm just rooting so hard for the Knicks to miss the playoffs. Moving from #15 to #9 is more valuable than having 15 and 21 if the Mavs make the top 10. Hell, throw the Rockets missing the playoffs in there. I would take #9 over #14, 15, AND 21. So would most of the GM's. Gogogog Carmelo! You shoot that ball 35 times a game.
The Mavericks won't be a top 10 team so don't look to get that pick. Hoping Knicks miss the playoffs but won't be #9 it will likely be from #11-14! Either way that's better than #15 in this draft, but would like to see Rockets pick somewhere other than #14 for once!
Yea I checked, right now it would be 12 and it doesn't have much hope to get any better than 11. I am very disappoint. But still that's the best pick we could potentially get in this upcoming season and we'll have to take what we can get. Looks like we're much more likely to get 1 pick than 2 or 3 this draft. Sucks but at least we've still got Dallas on the hook for future years, limiting their trade flexibility as long as their pick to us is unfulfilled.
Yeah, it was much more fun back when the Knicks pick would go from 15 to 10 just by dropping into the lottery. Now it's kind of pointless. Yes, we could potentially get the 13th pick instead of the 15th. But on the flip side do you really want to sweat out the possibility of the Knicks getting top 3? Especially since they're the Knicks and David Stern in the commissioner? Right now, offer me pick 15 and I'll be content. If Morey feels a player is really slipping, we can still offer our ~40th pick(from Minnesota) and Dallas' pick for a low first rounder to pick up someone like Motiejunas.
Knicks are gonna lose today. Rose is back. That means Bucks will be tied with the Knicks. Hello lottery pick! haha. Go Bucks!
That pick was traded to Portland in the Marcus Camby deal. That said, if the Rockets like someone in the second round or just need a late pick to package in a trade, they can always buy one on draft night. They've got the full $3M allotment in cash to use if they want.
They may go on to lose, but are ahead 22-6 at this moment. Knicks could be #7 or #9 after today depending on the Bucks and Sixer results.
