This is proof to me that Perry is having an impact already on the knicks. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Dolan told Mills to get Kyrie no matter what and Perry just told him to stay off and let me do my thing!

No one wants a bad deal, but I still want to see the Knicks in the hunt. Trying to surround KP with blue chip talent. We aren't talking about a 30 year old Irving here, that would be classic Knicks.

For once Melo is really helping Knicks.

How is Melo helping the Knicks? He wants to go to Houston only.... no trade is going to work for the Knicks.

Trading Melo for Kyrie is a no brainer. I don't get the narrative that it's the same old Knicks. If it was the same old Knicks we'd be trying to trade a 25 year old Melo for a 34 year old Kyrie.... but its the opposite..... we're talking about Melo and Courtney Lee for Kyrie, Frye and Shump... is that a bad trade for us? We would have to throw in a 1st round pick.... would that be the same old Knicks? That would be a fantastic trade to make. It would make the Knicks a better ball club by far

But I don't think the Cavs would agree to that....And would want more!

Much more... And they will get it... or will keep him.
Same as us with Melo.

Cavs will not trade him for Melo type player without getting good young prospect and 2 1-st rounders with 1 unprotected.
And it may be fine for some team with a lot of assets but deadly for us.
You will get Marbs or Melo deal all over again and suck another 7 years with Irving.

Thats cool...

But the Knicks aren't trading Melo for rysn Anderson or Harkless....

So i guess we can just all go to hell

And Knicks will be right to not trade Melo if they will get back bad contracts like Leonard or/and players like Andersen who does not feet.
Ye, we will be losing another 2-3 years and losing is hell for fans.
But after 20 years of it another 2-3 years of losing but with purpose should be fine.

Much more like what? Melo makes double what Kyrie makes

No he doesn't.

It is not about how much Irving makes but about what we ave to give up for him.
If the price if right (Melo plus 1 first rounder, Lee or KQ) its fine but it is not happening.

I get that people don't like the melo trade. But in order to not like the melo trade don't have to pretend if they didn't make it the Knicks were on a path to being a good team.

The had a ****ty pg, no real center to speak of, two small forwards (one who was going to be an RFA, one that went on to be oft injured) and no 2012 first round pick, and they were well short of mac cap space.

In 2011-12 they would have been a lottery team without a lottery pick.
