You can’t teach height.

While the NBA draft this year was slower than usual and surprisingly free of interesting trades (with the exception of Cassell to Minnesota, which happened the next day), I thought the Knicks did reasonably well this year. The Sweetney pick at No. 9 was a terrible, Laydenesque call, but picking up the free-falling seven-footer Maciej Lampe at No. 30 sounds like a steal (presuming his contract negotiations work out.) The 7’4″ Slavko Vranes sounds like a decent second-round choice too, far better than Frederic Weis at any rate. Now the question facing Knicks fans is how the trade winds will blow.

  1. The Boston papers are reporting this morning a deal sending Antoine Walker to the Knicks for Sprewell is in the works.

  2. Yeah, I saw that…I’m not buying it. Taking Spree makes no sense for Boston – then they’d have the same problem we have, 2 all-star SG’s and no inside presence (Vin Baker? Sheah.) Personally, I’m not a big fan of Walker, so I’m hoping this deal dies ignominously.
