Just leaving this here. Have a good day

obviously, salary does not work and we do have rose, but if there was one player today that could take us to the top, who is it and would you do it?
Besides Lebron James.

Take the call, why not.

Make the deal, nah.

Towns may wind up being the superior player (odds are in his favor) and a great center. But KP has a ceiling that's hard to top. The potential of his game and the way the NBA is played is too enticing to turn over for a marginally surer thing.

Its a wash. Towns right now you can give the ball to and ask him to give you a basket. KP's strength is playing team ball. He's where he belongs and Towns is where he belongs

I don't think we will truly see KP's potential until he is big enough to consistently play center. KP still has trouble guarding quick PFs and he would be much quicker than most centers.

I don't think we should keep forcing him to gain weight and become a center. Dirk had been a 4 his whole career. Even now that he lost several steps. Tim Duncan played the 4 for 35 years in San Antonio. KP'S length and athleticism is what makes him original. He can't lose that to exclusively play center. We need him to keep his unicorn status. We should always start him next to a real center. Throughout the course of a game he can slide over for stints...

About 3,000 votes in, and 79% are AGAINST trading KP for Westbrook.

KP is set up to clean up all over the court. That's what he needs to do. While everyone is battling to stop Rose and contain Melo... KP is going to run wild in the offense. Noah is going to be there to protect him too. When someone wants to try to get in his head, Noah is like Oakley in that regard.

Yep yep yep.

I'm so excited for KP to be able to Unicorn it up on this team. He'll have a lot of freedom to roam, which is perfect for him. Find the seams that the pressence of Melo, Rose, Jennings create. Catch some nice passes from Noah and Rose and Jennings and even Dad Melo.

I question any Knicks fan who would trade KP for anything. This is a gift and we must treasure this opportunity to have a franchise player for his whole career.

Thank you, I am really bothered with the idea that this guy has to become a traditional center.

KP recently talked about improving his handle, and mentioned how he wants to be able to take the bigger/slower guys outside and exploit them, but also be able to punish a smaller defender in the post.

He would end up being a kind of hybrid center on offense, but he needs to be able to shoot about 65-70% in the post when guarded by a smaller player, IMO.
