Media and fans voted Joel Embiid over Kristaps Porzingis. Players voted Kristaps Porzingis ahead of Embiid
Kristaps Porzingis was not voted as an East starter. He'll have to be voted in as a reserve by the coaches.
Comparto punto por punto excepto en lo de no vender a Lee. Creo que podemos sacar una primera ronda media-baja (hello pick de OKC en manos de Thibs).Schmoove escribió:Para mí los playoff se esfuman con la derrota contra Sixers.
A día de hoy teniendo que ganar 5 partidos seguidos para ponernos en el 50% lo veo imposible y más con el 4/14 con el que nos podemos poner de los partidos puestos por cebé.
Era de los defensores de intentar llegar a la post-season, y creo que ha sido positivo el camino andado, para ver qué necesita Porzi, para ver sus carencias y que las vea él mismo.
Dicho esto no tocaría nada del equipo, para conseguir una segunda ronda chustera para draftear un kornet o un routins de la vida me quedo con lo que tengo pero Lee, Kanter, Beasley, THJ jugando menos y palmando aún más.
Con nuestra rachita, veo el pick 6-7 prelottery hasta posible.

Se le ve un buen tipo... la entrevista integra http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2214 ... w-york-nba
At the moment, home for Kanter is New York. He lives in an apartment located just a short cab ride from Madison Square Garden, his new workplace following a late-September trade to the New York Knicks from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Now, after just 45 games with the franchise, Kanter already feels at home in his new city with what he calls his adopted family.
Kanter discussed his new life in New York, his outspoken critiques of the Turkish government and the fallout from those comments in a Q&A with ESPN.com.
Q: What are your impressions of living in New York?
You still miss your own food. You still miss Turkish people, talking Turkish, you still miss your culture. That's why New York is the best place to be because everywhere you go there's Turkish people, your friends are here, you can go to eat Turkish food every day. In Utah we had none. OKC, we had one restaurant. ... It just makes you feel warmer, it makes you feel more welcome.
Q: What was the general perception of the Knicks franchise before you arrived?
Before I came here, you were hearing it or were thinking, "Oh, it's New York, they haven't made the playoffs for the last whatever years. The organization is not good. They're changing the GMs and all this other stuff. People are not good there." ... But after I came, I realized that this is the place that I want to be and to play for a long time. Because people in the organization are so warm and so welcoming.
Q: You say you want to be here for a long time. What led you to that?
I remember during the draft I went to see a lot of organizations. But after you play in New York, you don't really want to go anywhere else. The people around are so cool. I remember maybe it was my second month here. I was thinking, "This place is so cool, I want to retire here." I remember one of the media guys was asking me, "Is it too early to decide because you've been here for not even a half season? Why did you want to decide that you wanted to retire as a Knick?" I was like, "This is the place I want to be." You play at Madison Square Garden, you see all the famous people. I'm really cool with Ben Stiller.
Q: You have been quite outspoken against some of the Knicks' opponents, including LeBron James. How do your teammates react to that?
I think they love it; all the outspokenness, all the tweeting, all the trolling and stuff. They love it. ... I respect [LeBron James] a lot, but on the court, it's totally different. I will try to do anything to get in their mind, get under their skin, so we can win the game. Because if they're down, we'll win the game. That's why I'm fighting them on the court, trying to talk trash, trolling them on social media. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Q: What is your relationship like with teammates, coaches and the Knicks' front office?
They were really so close to me, I'm really close to them. I'm really close with [Knicks GM] Scott Perry's family. This makes you feel like you're at home. I remember one time they had a Turkish Day at the practice facility. They just want to make sure that I feel welcome here. And then one of the players turned to me and asked if I felt at home. I was like, "Yes. This is a cool place."
It was supposed to be a surprise, but someone told me about it before. I remember we were about to go to a road game and after practice -- even the front office guys -- everyone was there. They decorated with some Turkish carpets and Turkish pillows. You could see it was so cultured. And then one of the guys said, "We were scared because we weren't sure if you'd want a Turkish flag." And I said, "Of course." So they ordered food from [a Turkish restaurant] in Manhattan.
Q: What was your reaction to that gesture?
I don't have a family here. I only have some friends that I hang out with. The [Knicks' Turkish Day] makes you feel -- I cannot describe with words -- it's priceless, for sure. Those are the guys, the only people I got. ... I see them almost every day, I play with them. I go to war with them. Whenever they sit down with you, sharing the food and the culture, it's amazing. They shouldn't have to do that, but they just did it to make me feel more welcome here. It just feels priceless.
Pues vete a saber que es lo que opina Perry de todo esto, estamos a 3 partidos de la 8º plaza (distancia que al igual que del top 6 es una buena semana, una mini racha positiva) igual el pecas se plantea hacer un 2 por 1 y coger a Kemba y un alero y soltar lastre.PinHeadKnickJR escribió:Informa Woj que los Hornets buscan trade por Kemba Walker
Parece que a cambio querrán deshacerse del contrato de alguno de estos 4: Batum, Howard, Williams o Kidd Gilchrist.
Si hay que comerse el contrato de alguno de esos, Williams o Kidd Gilchrist, minimo deben llevarse ellos a Noah y Thomas, lo cual seria una paja para nosotrosPinHeadKnickJR escribió:Informa Woj que los Hornets buscan trade por Kemba Walker

No creo que esten en disposicion de pedir mucho cuando el propio Woj ha dicho que nadie quiere comerse los contratos de Howard, Batum principalmente, MKG y Marvin Williams y por eso quieren aprovechar y meter a Kemba en el pack.PinHeadKnickJR escribió:Supongo que pedirán a Ntilikina o la 1ra ronda de este año.
Aceptaríais un Walker+Batum por Hardaway+Kanter?
Ese traspaso es de lo mejor posible para nosotros. Me parece una locura. No creo que quieran a Lance y lo normal es que se deba poner un joven como Willy.nyknicker escribió:PinHeadKnickJR escribió:Informa Woj que los Hornets buscan trade por Kemba Walker

Veo mi paja particular de Lee a Wolves a cambio de espacio y pick de OKC y la subo a:
Wolves: Lee+McDermott (profesionales, y spacing para Towns).
Charlotte: pick de OKC (lottery protect), 2a ronda de Bulls, Cole Aldrich (casi expiring), Muhammad, Lance Thomas
Knicks: Kemba, Kidd Gilchrist.
