That scary looking dude from the Lakers coaching staff (Quin Snyder) is apparently a candidate as well. Wouldn't mind him.

Oscar Robertson on Melo's upcoming FA
lol
If Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson were advising Carmelo Anthony, he'd tell him to leave the New York Knicks this summer.
"I would leave today [if I were Carmelo]," Roberston said on SiriusXM NBA radio Thursday. "… Let me tell you why: wherever that kid has gone, when he was at Denver, they had a team that fooled around with the ball, fooled around with the ball, then all of the sudden when they needed a basket, threw it to Carmelo. Then, when he shot the ball, they said he shot too much. Then when he didn't shoot they said he didn't shoot enough.
"No matter what he does in New York they're going to criticize him, the people are going to criticize him, because you got guys on [the Knicks] that cannot play. You got guys that are hurt all the time."
Anthony has said that he will opt out of the final year of his contract and test free agency this summer. The Houston Rockets, Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers are among a group of teams expected to show interest in Anthony.
Robertson thinks Houston would be a perfect fit for Anthony, who was second in the NBA in scoring last season and pulled down a career-high 8.1 rebounds per game.
"If he goes to Houston, they're gonna win everything," Robertson told host and well-known Knicks fan Spike Lee. "You look at LeBron [James], LeBron's got a great game and the kid down at Oklahoma, [Kevin] Durant's got a great game – they can't out-shoot Carmelo. … I've seen him in a lot of basketball games over the years and I'm telling you right now the kid, he just can get that shot away. Now he's gotten smarter, he's going to the basket a lot. But what gets me is that everyone thinks that everything that happens bad is his fault."
Anthony has been complimentary of Jackson since the 13-time NBA champ took over as Knicks president last month.
He called the Knicks' hiring of Jackson a 'power move' in March.
But Robertson, a 12-time All Star, downplayed Jackson's potential impact on Anthony's free agency.
"Let me ask you: When was the last time Phil Jackson played? … I think Phil is great to have gotten $12 million out of [Knicks owner Jim Dolan]. Super job. Take the money and run," Roberston said. "If I were Carmelo I would say, 'Listen, I'm not gonna stay here and take all this gruff and all this criticism. You got other guys on this team making $12, $15, $16 million and doing nothing, and here I am averaging 28, 29 points per game.' "

Didn't he rape a coed?

No? Where did you get that from?
Dat total control.
Yup. Its started.
Watch Dolan isolate Phil and Phil go "fuck it, i'm phoning this shit in".
I bet the medical staff have some dirt on Dolan. If you consider the Knicks injury history, the secret surgeries and shady diagnoses, there's gotta be something there he doesn't want getting out.
That scary looking dude from the Lakers coaching staff (Quin Snyder) is apparently a candidate as well. Wouldn't mind him.Somehow, Mike Dunlap got the job over Snyder a year ago here. He should've hand the job sitting in his lap after Shaw pulled out. I don't know if Cho dropped the ball there (Which he hasn't yet in Charlotte) or if he's just a terrible interview or something. Hope he gets a shot soon though. Even NY should be hitting him up. Definitely Minnesota.
the offseason hasn't even begun yet and there's already disagreements...
Dat total control.
holy shit is this relationship going to great or what.

He was investigated while at Missouri for improprieties and there were lots of rumors about his off the court conduct. Its one of the main reasons he hasn't had another head coaching gig in college.
Edit: I guess now all I can find is that he partied hard and likely did a lot of the same dirty recruiting shit with players that all coaches do.
Dat total control.
Yup. Its started.
Watch Dolan isolate Phil and Phil go "fuck it, i'm phoning this shit in".
Actually, i'll add to this.
The best part about it is going to be Phil leaking this shit to the media to try and haul Dolans ass into line, or turn NY against him totally and completely.
I like Parker.
Parker also says he loves being compared to Carmelo Anthony. When Dan Patrick says “but you pass” Parker responds “but I have a team.”
I'd love to say that I called this when the deal was imminent but it was so painfully obvious that it was gonna happen that it wouldn't be much fun to say I told you so right now.

Yeah, I like Parker, but I wouldn't say he passes the ball. If he gets it, he's shooting it.
Big Dog 2.0
Mcgary coming out because he faced a one year suspension over marijuana...wtf
Whatever, would be a fantastic second round pick for anybody.

so what's the deal with otto porter?
nothing
Ariza and Web both have TS% of 60 and ORTGs of 113 and 116 respectively.
That and a playoff mandate will buy a rookie SF season tickets courtside.
im not sure whats going to happen but he'll probably get a chance eventually due to Martell being a fall away from retirement with his back woes
So uh....

Of the prospects, that should be available around your teams' potential picks, who do you NOT want your team to pick? I remember Faze hating Bennett hard last year.
I'm not going to say shit since I virtually jynx'd the MCW pick last year (even if it kinda worked out..sorta)

It's funny that all 3 of yall just named 3 guys I wouldn't be happy with ending up with but if the Tank Gods punish us, we probaby will lol.
With Young, I think I still have this idea that he is the guy he was supposed to be = Shoot 3s play lockdown d...and yet..his jumper is inconsistant as shit and Kevin Ollie sent everyone at him as his defense is booty. and yet......he's only 18 yo..and stuff.
Randle is more than likely the guy we will end up with if/when we get fucked by the lottery. I don't HATE him as much as I used to but tanking so hard for Randle would be a bummer..plus recent history isn't on his side.
Gordon, just winz...but can't shoot for shit and after Iggy (took damn near 10 years to become an okay shooter), Thad (i don't even know) and of course Turner (motherfucker would always revert to his broken shit) I no longer believe in making shit shooters into good ones. Also has no real position..greaaaaat.
But Like I said, I don't HATE the idea of taking them but lets just say I'd rather it be via trading up from the Pelicans Pick than at 5 because God hates us.

I was really disappointed that Randle didn't work on his jumpshot at all this year. College is meant to be the place where you can waste countless possessions working on skills you'll need at the next level but he stuck to his strengths that won't be that translatable to the NBA.
I think the most underrated prospect right now is probably Cleanthony Early in regards to where mock drafts have him. He's a solid all around player and the knock against him seems to be the competition Wichita faced. Watch Oklahoma fuck around and get him at 21.
I'd probably still just take Jabari 1st overall and call it a day. I'll concede that Embiid has the highest upside but stress injuries of the back while already averaging low minutes and not having a long history of playing basketball to begin with really scares me on top of his emotional issues.
And Wiggins still looks like a slightly better version of Harrison Barnes to me.
In terms of least risk :
Jabari Parker
Marcus Smart
Gary Harris
Shabazz Napier
I think the above players are fairly bust proof. I have questions about a lot of other guys. I think McDermott is underrated in todays NBA. His offense will translate. Problem with most tweeners is their offense can't keep up in the NBA.

With Randle, It was more so they need some kind of post presence btu yeah if he doesn't get a jumper....welp.
With Wiggins, I want to believe but I said all the same shit abotu McLemore and yeah...if Bennett didn't exist he'd be the bust of the draft right now (he did turn it on late but still). Bitchass-ness is probably soemthing you can't fix and Wiggins was invisible far too much, shitty point guard and Bill Self system or not.
I am also torn on Embiid for the same reasons (also fit with Noel), but Parker being fat and making James Harden look like prime Artest on defense is something worth wondering about too. I don't think anyone is that safe in this draft (Smart may be a rich mans Rodney Stucky, Harris does a lot OK but nothign great and may be undersized and not that athletic, Shabazz may top out as a really good backup point).
just get me to the lottery so I can figure out what we are potentially looking at but I'd be happy with staying at 2 rather than getting the first pick..because you could look like an idiot realy quick if you pick wrong.
Eh, we have to be horrible enough to be bottom 3 or good enough to just miss the playoffs. It all depends on Kobe's health/remaining ability, if Pau stays, who we add in free agency, if we get a rookie who can immediately contribute.
There's no readily apparent better option. Plus we can't have a revolving door of coaches, it's just a bad look for when we try to attract a legit coach when it's time to contend.

I think the problem with Pringles is that he always gets random scrubs to overachieve and that's a problem when the pick is only top 5 protected next year. The Lakers with pretty much no talent finished 6th so Pringles could cause them to lose their pick next year.
Jordan Adams entered the draft, yesssss. He's the guy I want at 23.
