DRAFT ANALYST AS WELL. THAT'S ALL COMING UP. TWITTER, IT'S JUST HARD.
WE HAVE CLARITY. LONG STORY SHORT HERE, THEY ARE TRYING TO CLEAR CAP SPACE
PERHAPS FOR A RUN HERE WHEN FREE AGENCY BEGINS. THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
IT SAYS THAT THE KNICKS ARE IN PROCESS WITH THEIR DEVELOPMENT. THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GUYS ARE
GROWING UNDER THEIR TUTELAGE, AND UNDER THE PLAYER DEVELOPMENT.
NOW, THE MOVE IS TO BE TO CLEAR CAP SPACE, AND IT'S A SPLASH FOR A PROVEN COMMODITY IN THE
NBA. IT CAN IMMEDIATELY GET THIS TEAM BACK TO THE PLAYOFFS.
I THINK WE HAVE IT ALL SORTED OUT. THE NEXT HAD THE 11th PICK.
WE ALL WATCHED ADAM SILVER, THEY TOOK OUSMANE DIENG. HE PLAYED IN NEW ZEALAND.
HE'S FROM FRANCE. THEY HAD THREE CONDITIONAL FIRST ROUND PICKS.
THAT'S A LOT. THREE FIRST ROUND PICKS IN THE NBA ARE BIG-TIME ASSETS.
THE NEXT RATED ONE CONDITIONAL AND FOUR SECOND ROUND PICKS TO CHARLOTTE FOR
THE 13th PICK, JALEN DUREN. REPORTEDLY, THE NEXT THEN TRADED JALEN DUREN AND KEMBA
WALKER, TO THE PISTONS FOR A FIRST ROUND PICK. THIS IS MILWAUKEE'S FIRST
ROUND PICK. PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LATE ONE IN THE DRAFT IF IT'S EVER
UTILIZED. MILWAUKEE IS ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE.
THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN DECIPHER. YOU CAN SEE WITH THE FIRST ROUND PICKS, YOU NEVER KNOW
WHAT THE CONDITIONS ARE. CERTAIN THINGS HAVE TO BE MET IN ORDER FOR THAT PICK TO COME
IN. IT'S ANOTHER THING. WE ARE STOCKPILING ASSETS.
WE ARE NOT TRYING TO HAMSTRING THEMSELVES RIGHT NOW. THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
MAYBE GO OUT AND SIGN A FREE AGENT BY CLEARING SOME CAP SPACE.
THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE DOING. IN SUMMARY, THEY TRADE THE
11th PICK AND OCHAI AGBAJI FOR, TURN IT INTO THREE FUSION NUMBER ONES AND CAPS ACE.
NOW, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WITH NO NUMBER ONE, IN THE 11th SLOT, $70 MILLION.
KEMBA WALKER, COMES OFF THE BOOKS. HE'S GOING TO BE BOUGHT OUT BY
THE PISTONS WHEN THAT REPORTED DEAL ACTUALLY BECOMES OFFICIAL. HE'S ABOUT $9 MILLION.
YOU ARE SAVING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, ABOUT $12 MILLION OFF THE CAP GRADE
YOU CAN MAYBE MAKE MORE MOVES TO GET MORE CAP SPACE. YOU CAN SIGN SOMEONE IN FREE
AGENCY. UPWARDS OF $12 MILLION. THAT'S BIG.
THE KNICKS ARE IN A GOOD FINANCIAL SPOT. WITH THE CONTRACTS, THE SHORT-
TERM CONTRACTS, GUYS THAT ARE PRETTY YOUNG AS FAR AS THEIR AGE.
DERRICK ROSE IS THE ONE VETERAN THAT GOT HURT LAST YEAR. IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S GOING TO
COME BACK HEALTHY AND HELP THIS TEAM BE PRODUCTIVE. THE KNICKS ARE FLEXIBLE WITH
THEIR ROSTER. THERE FLEXIBLE MOVING FORWARD. THEY CAN CLEAR MORE CAP SPACE
AND GET A FREE AGENT THAT CAN HELP THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY. WE KNOW THEY WEREN'T THAT FAR
AWAY TWO YEARS AGO. THEY WERE THE FOUR SEED. LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND OF THE
PLAYOFFS LAST YEAR. A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTING. YOU CAN RETOOL WITH THIS ROSTER
AND ADD ANOTHER PIECE THAT CAN REALLY HELP, THAT COULD BE A NICE UPGRADE.
HERE'S THE REALITY. WE ARE TRYING TO SORT THIS OUT WITH EVERYBODY IN REAL-TIME.
THE NEXT CLUE DID NOT THINK AT 11 THAT THEY COULD GET SOMEBODY THAT COULD HELP THEM RIGHT
AWAY. THAT'S A CALCULUS THAT THE FRONT OBVIOUS STAFF MADE CLEAR.
IT TAKES TIME TO GET YOUR HANDS ON A YOUNG PLAYER. YOU'RE TRYING TO PUT YOUR
IMPRINTS AND CULTURE ON HIM. THERE IS A LOGJAM AT A LOT OF POSITIONS WITH THE KNICKS.
WE LOOK AT A GUY LIKE THAT. IT'S THE DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY HAVE HAD AT THE GUARD POSITION.
THESE KIDS ARE GETTING BETTER. THE CAREERS ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK IN THE NBA.
TO GET ANOTHER 11th PICK THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT BUT TAKE A LOT OF TIME,
ALSO MIGHT TAKE MINUTES AWAY FROM GUYS LIKE THAT. IT'S PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT.
IT JUST SAYS THAT THE KNICKS ARE VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR YOUNG
PLAYERS. THEY WANT TO GO OUT THERE AND GET SUREFIRE, BONA FIDE STAR
POWER IN THE NBA THROUGH FREE AGENCY. AS WE SAY, THEY HAVE A PICK
IN THE SECOND ROUND. 42nd PICK OVERALL. WITH THE WAY THEY MAKE MOVES,
WHO KNOWS? THAT'S HOW THINGS SHAKE UP AS WE SIT HERE.
THEY SMILE AT IT RIGHT NOW. PAOLO BANCHERO, WENT NUMBER ONE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE JABARI SMITH JR.. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT
PICK X I WOULD HAVE TAKEN PAOLO BANCHERO NUMBER ONE.
LAYING EYES ON HIM LIVE AT THE FINAL FOUR, HE'S A PHYSICAL SPECIMEN.
6'10", PUT TOGETHER LIKE THE PERFECT BASKETBALL BODY. A HUGE BASE.
STRONG, STRONG TREETRUNK LEGS. THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HOLD THEIR POSITION.
THERE ISN'T ANYTHING HE CAN DO OUT THERE ON THE COURT. ONLY THING ABOUT HIM, MAYBE
HE'S NOT THE LONGEST OR LENGTHIEST TYPE OF PLAYER WITH THE LINK THAT EVERYONE LOVES
AND THE NBA. 6'10". HE CAN DO EVERYTHING.
HE PUTS THE BALL ON THE FLOOR. HE CAN SHOOT THREES. HE'S GOING TO BE A GOOD
DEFENDER. I THINK HE'S GOING TO BE VERY DURABLE.
HIS BODY IS A SPECIMEN. IT REALLY IS. YOU NEED THOSE TYPE OF GUYS IN
THE NBA. I THINK HE'S THE MOST SUREFIRE PICK.
THERE IS NO POTENTIAL FOR HIM TO BE A BUST IN THE NBA. THEY DO THIS EVERY YEAR.
THEY HAVE ALL OF THESE PICS. THEY HAVE YOUNG TALENT WHEN THEY LOOK AT THE ROSTER.
IS THIS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO WORK OUT FOR THEM? HOW DOES HE FIGURE?
HE CAN PLAY MULTIPLE POSITIONS. HE CAN BOUNCE OUT TO THE WING
AND PLAY SMALL FORWARD. HE CAN PLAY THE FOUR. THAT'S MORE OF HIS REALLY
COMFORTABLE POSITION. AT THE FOUR, HE'S SUPER SKILLED.
HE'S A GUY THAT CAN DO IT ALL. CAN LOCKDOWN THREES. I THINK THIS YEAR'S DUKE FANS
WANTED HIM TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE TAKEOVER WITH GAMES. I'M THE BEST PLAYER IN COLLEGE
BASKETBALL. I'M THE BEST PLAYER ON THE FLOOR.
GIVE ME THE BALL EVERY TIME AND LET ME WIN THE GAME. HE PLAYED WITH A GOOD SYSTEM
AND GOOD TEAM. HE WAS A GREAT TEAMMATE. HE HAD TEAMMATES ALSO.
THAT'S GOING TO TRANSLATE WELL TO THE NBA. IN THE NBA, HE HAS TO BE A
