Pablo Prigioni called his best friend again and again. Prigioni, in Spain, needed advice this summer — about the N.B.A., the Knicks and the United States — so he reached out to his friend Luis Scola to talk about a tough decision. Prigioni remembered that Scola faced a similar choice five years ago, and for Scola, the decision to join an N.B.A. team had been an easy one, because that was his dream.

I like it. If someone can play they can play. Age shouldn't be a factor.

    • Interviews are huge for Green.  I agree people can change and make dumb decisions, but he was straight up kicked out of a program and had to leave UVA.  That just doesn't happen for a one time minor offense.   It's why I've been cautious with getting excited about him.  If he checks out with teams, he could go quite high.  If he seems like a kid with some issues, then there could be a nosedive.  
    • Will say, a Warren choice could be favorable if you're considering the FA and mid-rounder landscape.  FA on offense is simply bad this year.  There's no real multi-year investments.  Defense is much different.  There's also not exactly any true elevators on offense draft wise outside of Jeanty and Warren (I do like Loveland a lot).  So if one of the few blue chips is there...I mean... And R2-3 has more impact options on defense. There's some REALLY appealing IDL (which is one of my top concerns) Tyleik Williams, Norman-Lott, Alfred Collins, & Philips to name a few.  Also at EDGE with Elijah Roberts, Tuimoloau, Ivey, Swinson, & Princely.  Not to mention Xavier Watts and others at DB.   We'll be attacking FA first which will predicate a lot.  And we are likely looking heavy defense, it may make taking a blue chip offensive guy quite appealing depending on who we get.  
    • Is it really too late for Tepper to apologize and do the right thing with this abandoned project?
