J.R. Smith has literally been shanghaied away for the foreshortened 2011-2012 NBA season: rolling ILH sandbox thread

Did you mean Mcdonald's all-american?

i really don't think holding on until the trade deadline would do anything

rondo as the #1 guy on a team w/ no real support would be nuts i'd like to see that

seriously the knicks might as good as the pacers this year

this is historically when the best deals happen, that been a known thing in the nba until having a media fire storm turned it the worst thing ever for w/e reason

kevin martin's 24 ppg: literally shit
tyson chandlers 10 pts, 9 rpg: all-star caliber.

the knicks would have the worst staring back court in the nba, not even a question

toney douglas
landry fields
carmelo anthony
amare stoudemire
tyson chandler

^this team is worse than the hawks

sooo a 5th seed

^with one injury, this team is potentially worse than the sixers

20th draft pick

with one injury, this team is potentially worse than the sixers

this can be said abt every team in the league and you know it

kevin martin was top 20 in the league in PER, i had no idea

the knicks are a legit playoff team, if they have injury problems they are not, like the other playoff teams

20th draft pick

heat, celtics, bulls, hawks could all have an injury to one of their top 2 players and easily beat out the sixers

kevin martin is widely known as the worst defender in the nba

it could be as low as 18th if they're the 5th seed.

5+5=10

20-18=2

8+4=12

if the 8 western playoff teams had better records they would pick 18th.

omg its could be anywhere between 18 and 20! what a magnificent draft pick! i bet a lot of great players have been taken there!

why dont u do some research as far as the quality of those spots!

dude you're the one who brought up math and then couldn't add.

here's what could easily happen to the knicks this year -- howard gets his trade to the nets, amar'e has to miss 20 games, the pacers make good on their free agent signings and jump up two spots, and the sixers stay the same from last year

hmm what does that look like?

1 heat
2 bulls
3 celtics
4 nets
5 hawks
6 pacers
7 sixers
8 knicks

it could be 18 it could be 20 do you see

no you said that 5th seed in east = 20th.

honestly you can get pretty good players in that range

you mocked me for saying they could pick 18th, then said they'd be the 5th pick in the east.... which could be 18th.

yes i totally make trades based on what could be the best possible circumstances, hey maybe kevin martin will learn how to rebound pass and defend, think abt this what if this happened

1 knicks
2 bulls
3 celtics
4 nets
5 hawks
6 pacers
7 sixers
8 heat

now what

you mocked me for saying they could pick 18th, then said they'd be the 5th pick in the east.... which could be 18th.

5th in the east could be the 20th pick, it could also be the 18th pick, they both suck

but you said that me saying they'd pick 17th or 18th showed I "couldn't do math." and then you put them right in that range!

eric bledsoe, ty lawson, javale mcgee, jj hickson, roy hibbert, nick young, sean williams, rajon rondo, danny granger, hakeem warrick, josh smith, j.r. smith, jameer nelson

i mean these range from stars to very solid role players

well to be fair i said neither you or jordan could do math

yes i totally make trades based on what could be the best possible circumstances

i made a trade based on a report that dwight howard wants to go to the nets! i mean, it's certainly something for the knicks to be worried about. i'm not sure why we should pretend that it couldn't happen.

also i was using jordan prediction abt the knicks finishing position as an argument, i expect them to finish higher than the hawks

my projection is obv a worse case scenario but it's also entirely probable

what r the nets going to trade for howard exactly, curious

lopez and picks presumably (FIRST ROUNDERS)

actually worse case scenario is both of their perpetually injured big men bite the dust and they're left with carmelo and a bunch of guys who would get laughed out of the rucker

even tho i was shitting on brook lopez earlier, i would prob take him over bynum if i had to make that trade

brook lopez and some russain whores, good thing david stern doesnt own the magic

i don't think he's better, but i wouldn't take on the risk of bynum

btw can we just digress for a second and talk about how andrew bynum's knees are going to turn into tissue paper w/ this schedule? imagine bynum in game 5 of the nba finals this year? his knee ligaments may actually explode out of his body.

sebastian telfair got taken over al jefferson, josh smith, j.r. smith and jameer nelson
