Here is an interesting thought now that it looks likely we finish 10th in a very strong draft.
If we want to make sure that we keep the pick, do we offer the Knicks some incentive to modify the protections before the draft lottery?
Say lottery protected this year so we are guaranteed to keep the pick for unprotected going forward?
Maybe there is a player you really want and you don´t want to risk losing out on him.
Would you do it, if you are the Knicks? I would not, and hope that one team jumps up and I get the 11th pick.
