Knicks have signed Mitchell Robinson




It has been reported in the NY Post that the Knicks have signed the second round draft pick Mitchell Robinson to a three year 4.8 million dollar contract.

I think Robinson might be the sleeper of the draft and I could easily see both him and Kevin Knox competing for NBA rookie of the year.

They will get lots of playing time with Porzingis out of the way.

Good job with the signing but it's not going to help them win the east now that Kawhi Leonard has been traded to the Toronto Raptors for DeMar DeRozan.

This is going to be fun

It is being reported that the Oklahoma City Thunder plan to buy out Carmelo Anthony before the end of the summer.

My friends are asking if he will end up with the Lakers.

I can only say I hope so because the Lakers are going to be a three ring circus next season.

With all the crap going on with LeBron and him not even speaking with the coaches before signing, the Ball family and all their foolishness and Magic Johnson's desperation to see the Lakers win to keep his position with the team there is going to be a show every night win or lose.

The Lakers might be more fun following than the damn Knicks next season. Who'd have thought that?

Stephen A. thinks that Melo would be the perfect with the Houston Rockets but that's ridiculous.

If he wouldn't play for D'Antoni when he was with the Knicks and this was his team why would he play for Mike D'Antoni now.

And why in the hell would D'Antoni want him when Carmelo was the reason he was ran out of NYC?

I said it once before and I'll say it again, the best place for Anthony is Toronto but he wouldn't do the smart thing and play for the Raptors. He still needs to be in the spotlight.

This is going to be fun.

Have the Knicks found gold in Knox?


Fortunately Trae Young was acquired by Atlanta in a trade with the Mavericks taking the Knicks off the hook of doing something really stupid.

Unfortunately, the following two picks removed Mo Bamba and Wendall Carter off the board. Both of whom were no brainer can't miss prospects.

Then we were left worried anticipation for the Knicks selection over the next 8 minutes because it meant that the Knicks "braintrust" would be forced into thinking. As New Yorkers we know how much bad luck the Knicks have when they think.

I was hoping that the Knicks would take my fifth option which did fall to them. Robert Williams from Texas A&M was there for the taking. It was not to be however.

Michael Porter Jr. had been hiding his medical records from various teams meaning he has something to hide which will be problematic for the future of his career.

You know what that means.

With the 9th pick in the 2018 NBA draft the Knicks select Kevin Knox SF from Kentucky.

A small forward, right, because the Knicks need a small forward so badly.

This season he will be the focal point of the team without out Porzingis so he'll have any and every shot he wants.

He might even be in contention for rookie of the year with the amount of points he'll have the opportunity to put up.

He should be a solid pro in about ten years when he's playing with the Cavaliers or the Celtics. Is he the second coming of Bernard King? Only time will tell.

Have the Knicks found gold in Knox?
