That's just wrong.
Go down the list and look at who's actually been drafted that are on par/better than Valanciunas right now. Since 09: Favors, Kanter, Cousins, Drummond, Davis, Vucevic.
That's the list. In a league where Tiago Splitter can get 9 million dollars a year and not be overpaid, you wouldn't give up CJ McCollum for that? That's crazy.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Melo is probably the only Knick that should not be traded for Valanciunas. Stop fucking around.

Tyson gets no love
I would rather have Valanciunas at this point when you consider their contracts

What's the point of having him if he's breaking down at the end of the season?
He's 30. Valanciunas is 21, and already has a better offensive game.
Fact of the matter is, I'd kill for any of those young guys on the Hawks. Except Favors I guess. He dipped quite a bit after the break last season.

Id be fine with this too. The less wear and tear he has on his body when he signs with the Lakers the better.

? Favors didn't drop off at all after the all-star break. He was our best player to end the season.

I'll trust the Jazz fan then. The few games I watched him he was getting more minutes but didn't seem to do much with them.
Point stands though. You'd be happy with any if those guys.

Wouldn't surprise me if he was The Stealth Fox, he's made a Knick alt before in order to troll.
Nope.
Wat? I'm more level headed than your Amar'e loving ass. I even told you not to take that bet. Was trying to do you a solid and shit and that's how you do me?

Man I just read those pages..... lol @ all the knicks hate.
Knicks trade half a first rounder in 2016 and their 14th and 15th man for a dude for cap reasons who might do well as a roleplayer and its the worse trade of the offseason? They re-sign the 6moty to 3 year 7 million who had surgery to be able to drive to the hoop again. Then replace cope with MWP who while old will play better defense (and might get regular minutes) for 1.7 annually.
The knicks also get younger with 2 new rookies players signed to rookie deals (so they cant be stolen). And will have money to make a run at damn near every FA in 2015 to put next to this years scoring champ....
but its lolknicks
Nyets trade 3 first round picks and 2 rotation player for Pierce who had 30 TO's in last season's playoffs and had his ankles broke A LOT (to the point it was a meme) because he is done defensively. Along with KG who will be one of the oldest players in the league and CAN'T play heavy minutes and an OD done gunner in Jason terry. The only clear good move they had was to pick up AK-47 on some behind closed door foolishness the owner cooked up.
Add to this a rookie HC coach who could likely be suspended at the beginning of the season by stern for drunk driving. The Nyets have the Highest salary in the league due to a collection of large long contracts for players placed around a demanding, mercurial PG who clashes with coaches and got his man a HC job whose never coached in his entire life......
If this board wiped the hate from their eyes for one second they would see the Nyets are the isiah era knicks..... how do you guys not see it?
Damn thats a lot of text lol

There are Clips fans on Realgm arguing that Byron Mullens will be a real difference maker for them, smh......wow.
I laughed to this more than what I should.

Byron Mullens has the ability to do pretty much everything you would want a big to do. When hes on, he can score (from outside, in the post, and catch and finish) and rebound well, and hes quite athletic (ask LaMarcus Aldridge). Hes a good shot blocker, and he even occasionally showed flashes of passing ability. He has very good touch around the room on turnarounds and hook shots (he made 59% of the hook shots he attempted).
You can see his potential in games like those against the Raptors (25 points in 28 minutes), the Celtics (25 pts, 18 rebs, 4 asts), Lakers and Magic (20 and 12 in each), etc.
The only thing preventing him from being a good NBA player is his own mind.

I like this move for Mullens' ability to stretch the floor.
He has very desirable skills for an NBA big man. Mullens was in a very bad situation playing for the Bobcats and was a featured player for them so naturally he had to take bad shots. But for us he will be a role player so his past performances arent exactly a good indicator for how he will do for the Clippers. I think playing on a winning team with culture and good coaching Mullens will be a lot better.
I actually earmarked Mullens as the backup big we should be targeting before free agency even started so well see if Im right. Its a calculated risk for the role and contract he will be given, and I have no problem with it.

Mullens has always had the potential tag attached to him, it's why Rivals had him ranked as the number 1 player in his class. And yeah he's occasionally shown flashes of it, but as the saying goes "you can't fix stupid." And Mullens is as retarded as they come on a basketball court. If Rivers gives him a VERY specific role and uses a short leash you might get some positive contributions from him, I'll give you that.

Well, you have to admit he's better than Ryan Hollins as a back-up and the Clips need size on their roster... Doc will get him to play, I mean, he did keep Crawford in-line for the most part in Boston, lol.
I sense another dy/adam bet coming on

I have a feeling Adam hasn't seen much of Mullens attempt to play basketball.

Nets fans don't place a lot of value in those picks because it's likely that they'll all be late first round picks.
In case you need a reminder, here are the last few picks by the Nets (those still in the NBA are in bold):
2012 - Ilkan Karaman
2011 - JaJuan Johnson
2011 - Jordan Williams
2010 - Derrick Favors
2010 - Damion James
2010 - Tibor Pleib
2009 - Terrance Williams
2008 - Brook Lopez
2008 - Ryan Anderson
2008 - Chris Douglas-Roberts
2007 - Sean Williams
2006 - Marcus Williams
2006 - Josh Boone
2006 - Hassan Adams
You can see why Nets fans don't put a whole lot of stock in draft picks...

you got a gif of that? Kobe vs. Young and a gif of Rondo vs. Humphries would be perfect right now... Somebody has to have them...

Mullens is basically Dumbandre who isn't scared to shoot a jumper, tho he maybe should be.

Zeller won't be playing the 5 at all for us. He and McRoberts are the only 4s we have on the roster.
Also, I'm hoping the Lakers pick up Tyrus. He might actually try a little bit then.

Cavs still haven't picked up Miller? All that surgery talk scare them off? Good, we just waived DJ White so we got the roster spot to make a run at him.
We went from
Humphries to Garnett
Wallace to Pierce
Bogans to Kirilenko
With plenty of backups for all the old guys who will play heavily restricted minutes. And you want me to believe that this is the second coming of Isiah. l m a o.

I hope Burke pans out for you guys. Favors and Kanter deserve to have a good point to pass and create for them.
