Knicks may be open to trading their pick for multiple, lower picks

[Flc]

Sounds like if Lindsey wants Russell or one of Towns/Okafor - assuming the lottery shakes out in its current order - it likely could be done without giving up anyone on our current roster, We have the assets in multiple first round future picks to make the deal.

If Knicks were to trade the pick, seems far more likely that they'd do it to move down/get multiple picks than to get a star in return.

Why would the Knicks, who need to start winning soon, trade their great pick for lesser future firsts? Makes no sense.

but hey they are the Knicks...

This years #12 pick
Next years unprotected pick
2017 GS pick
2018 OKC pick
4 Second rounders
Burke

Deal.

This only makes sense if they are trading with someone like Philly.

I could see Philly giving the Knicks their pick, Miami's pick, and Saric (who is basically a draft pick) for the top pick.

4 first rounders, 4 second rounders and Burke?

No thanks, that's to much. If the Jazz sent all that Id want more back then one pick.

Knicks don't value the draft - they drafted all of 3 players in the last 30 years that either played any significant amount of time or had a significant impact on the franchise - David Lee, Mark Jackson and Patrick Ewing. The rest were either busts, role players or traded away in a year or two.

Knicks are the poster child for big market mentality - they're all about big name trades and big name FA's.

Knicks are sooooo dumb. Lets just trade them Burke and our pick from this draft, I bet that would get it done.

Knicks don't value the draft -

Then it seems kind of strange that they are wanting even more drafts picks in this trade scenario

Who would you take at #1?

Knicks are dumb... If they don't land 1 or 2 I could see them trading back. 12 is prolly too far back and the future firsts are too far off.

Anyone that wouldn't trade the 4 firsts and Burke for a top 3 pick is stupid... Anytime you can trade 4 quarters for a dollar you do it.

Towns or Russell. I might take towns and see what the team who takes Russell will give me for him... If not I'd just keep Towns.
