I wish I was. I wasn't serious, before Darko was drafted and ESPN was running interviews on him he proclaimed he could stop Shaq. Just a littlecomparison. And if you don't think Danillo will be a solid player, then I suggest you take a deep look at him as a player and hold the biases aside. Knicksare getting a solid player. Not better than Bayless, but solid.

No smh, that would be a good move imo. Lee and Felton are a wash basically, not 1 player is better than the other but we get the point guard we need. Andin D'antoni's offense Felton would flourish. He's lighting quick and would be phenomenal for D'antoni

The only trade involving Lee that makes sense is if we get a high-impact player/draft pick in return. His stock is sky high, and to bring in Felton (whoISN'T lightning quick, in fact his strength is his best weapon) does not justify this trade.
After drafting two big-men, I doubt Lee would really fill any of the Bobcats' needs.

Felton is a high-impact player if you ask me.
Dude put up about 15/7 in his junior season.

felton is definitely an impact player...given his stats he would easily be our assist leader and would be one of our leading scorers as well...i think anycapable PG can excel in a system like d'antoni's

Dude put the press on GM's in the Tri-State. He said he would only play for NY or NJ or go back to Italy. Glad the Nets didn't pick him, but I guesswe'll see what happens.............

Danilo will be ok. They drafted on potential and highest ceiling, which is the right move in this situation. The Knicks will be bad for the next 3 years ATLEAST. This is a given, and I hope no fans were expecting anything else.
So if the only pg you really liked in this draft (Westbrook) is gone, then take a guy you think can turn into a very solid player in a couple of years, andwait to find that superstar in the next few years, either in the draft, or through trade/free agency.
Haze I get you don't like Euro players, but this dude is not soft. He is aggressive and will compete hard. His body is alot more filled out that some ofthe stiff and soft Euro's in the past, and he could still grow another inch or two, and I expect him to get considerably stronger as well. His skills andshooting are already at a level where he can contribute. Give the guy and chance and realize this is a LONG rebuilding process, and this is just the beginning.Start to build the team around competitive, skilled, non-ego players and give it 3 + years to work out.
We don't need more dudes like Bayless (we already have a better version of him in Crawford) Gordon (another undersized, gunning 2 guard) or any otherpeople who you can't build a team around. Look at teams like the Suns, they draft players who people may not always agree with, but they fill the team withsolid talent and guys who are willing to contribute however they are needed. This is just step 1 of a long rebuilding road.
The instant savior we were all hoping for in this draft was not going to happen when we missed out on a top 3 pick. So if you can accept that (which most ofyou seem not to accept/understand) then you will see that this is a fine pick, and is all part of the plan.

still tough to judge. not many people have seen this kid play. he could use a few pounds to bulk up with for starters.
it's up to d'antoni's coacing to see how this turns out, but nothing instant

I have no problem giving him a chance, but I still don't think we need him.
We just have to let this whole thing play out, lots of players have to go.

I'm still in disbelief that Franchella compared this dude to Derek Jeter? Derek Jeter 4 time world champ, WS MVP Derek Jeter.

I'm sure he meant in terms of being a likable person in NYC.
Regardless, he even said himself he wont be a "superstar". We like dudes who can play defense an have heart, that's the only reason why Nategets love. Like you said he's not what we need and has NOTHING that we want.

I watched Felton play five times in the last three seasons (once against Knicks, twice against Nets, twice against the Raptors). Based on what I saw, he is NOTlightning quick. He's a good player, but he doesn't have the penetrate-at-will quickness suggested by the "lightning-quick" description.
As for how (or why) the hell I saw the Bobcats play five times: The games in NY and NJ were free tickets given to me by my sister (who works at Bear Stearnsand now JPMChase). The two at Toronto were because they were the cheapest tickets available (I went to college in Buffalo and made MANY trips to Toronto forsporting events and other things).
