Of course he should of left after his freshman year.
I said when he declared it was a bad move.
Said before he shoulda just stayed his senior year and have a shot at a title, but his decision, not mine, not sure why you care so much, obsessed much?
Btw, can you tell me the last time Pitino beat Roy at Louisville, THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Well, i mean, with the exception of Aldrich, he's done as good as any GM in the draft since he's taken over.
This one doesnt look good though.

What's that got to do with anything?
Regardless.
It was his HS coach/parents decision for him to not go pro, not Roy despite what you and giles keep spewing.
yeezus
It's OVER 5,000!
They'll be legit before the Knicks are, I'd bet. Unless the Knicks lure people in. Which I don't see happening.
Like, the Knicks have been trying to compete and haven't even been relatively close. So I'd rather take this route than their route.

I posted a fact.
His parents/HS coach wanted him to return, not Roy.
Roy always gets the advice from the NBA, gets it to the parents, and lets them decide what is best.
But you keep making **** up.
think you're forgetting someone

If you're talking Barnes, thats because of the lockout.
He woulda gone Top 5 maybe, and ended up going Top 8 a year later, no big deal.

Do you honestly prefer the route the Knicks are trying to take? They've been a ****ty organization, and are just hoping Melo wants to stay and bring someone with him. They've brought nothing in from recent drafts. The Sixers only hope, other than LeBron coming to play, is to really, really suck for 2 years and build up picks and talent. After next years draft and off-season, I'll bet you they'll be a better team than the Knicks. They had to go and hire Phil to give their bad organization some credibility, but how long are you OK with dealing with mediocrity? The Sixers and Knicks have been stuck in NBA purgatory for so long. The Knicks will stay there unless they convince a star to come. Otherwise, they're screwed. You were trying to compete and didn't even make the playoffs in the EAST. LMAO

They have MSG. They think they matter for some reason.

Philly has ZERO shooters, they have 2 big men that have injury concerns, they have a PG that can't shoot and no one wants to sign there, they drafted two guys in the top 10 that won't play for a year after their #1 pick from last year didn't play a game.....but yeah, there's no reason to make fun of them. What reason is there to think they will be good anytime in the next 5 years?
yeezus

It doesn't matter at all that they don't have any shooters right now. They have a whole off-season/draft next year to get them. How do you know no one wants to sign there? Next off-season they will absolutely be able to bring in an attractive free agent.
Who cares that Noel didn't play a game last year? I certainly don't. The re-build process takes time. Noel is fully healthy. Embiid was by far the best prospect in this draft with insane upside. They weren't going to be good last year no matter what, and wouldn't have been good this year no matter what. Why not get the highest upside guys you can? They'll have another top 5 pick next year to go along with the best prospect from last year's draft and the best prospect from this draft.
Again, would you rather be in the purgatory the Knicks are in? And again, they tried to compete last year and couldn't even make the playoffs in the worst conference the league has ever seen. THAT'S something to laugh at. They ended up at home just like the Sixers, except the Sixers got the highest upside player in the draft and the Knicks got..Cleanthony Early and that's it. I'd say the Sixers came out better after last season.
PG - MCW
SG - DeRozan
SF - Johnson
PF - Noel
C - Embiid
That will be a better team in 3 years than the Knicks unless LeBron signs there which seems slim. It will be another lost season for the Sixers this year, but they will have a ton of upside on their squad. The Knicks are relying on praying someone wants to come there (and brought in Phil because no one would even think about going there otherwise). The point is, the Knicks are a pretty large jokes themselves. At least the Sixers wanted to be a joke last year. The Knicks want to be good but have been irrelevant. Congrats I guess?
