I know some here will say DJ you're crazy in NBA there is only 1 MJ, one Bill Russell like only 1 Wilt, 1 Jerry West, 1 Oscar
or 1 Kobe & Shaq now solely only 1 Lebron James. But the youth of NBA is slowing changing. Special players are coming about
all the time now as in case with CAVs Kylie Irving the 2nd gem #1 draft pick since of course prior CAVs #1 Lebron James.

I love/like Carmelo Anthony it would be a great story if he can win here in few yrs OR get pieces to blend in with Knicks having real legit chance at NBA Titles. But to be honest I dunno bout Melo!

Already mentioned I nor you know what the hell the NY Knicks gonna? do but if MELO gonna be here for his duration contract TRADE EVERYONE (*yep Amare too) if you can get yourself some player as good as Dwade (wont happen) or Westbrook, Durant & similar stars.
Of course this won't be easy!

Knicks past regime gave away too many draft picks & wasted opportunities to have pieces to move a direction in a draft or getting
the BEST and that is what any star such as Melo Anthony needs to play alongside with.

NOT an Amare Stoudemire, nor JKidd, Sheed or someone mentioned R.Felton being 2nd best valuable player on NY next to MELO.
Tired of the notion we can't do better, Knicks got to have a better plan is all that is required. Stop being the joke of
the elite NBA run franchises. Alot of this got to do with Dolan however Jim Dolan does spend $$$. If he's advised right then
one day we'd be in position to have a Kylie Irving, or John Wall type player.

This is Serious, serious piece of Bo-diddly Sh_t I am talking about. Our Knickerbockers gotta emulate a plan and execute to win
a NBA title. a plan you say eh ? for our Knicks?

BULLs did this after MJ 60pt games was losing Bulls series to Celtics & Pistons back in the day.
ROCKETs did this once,
even MAVS did it kinda when window was still open for Dirk few yrs back and
Miami did it twice once getting Shaq (nba title#1) and recently with the hated LBJ lured to Fla. (nba title #2).

The old Houston Rockets did it after they squaked by our KNICK heroe's in the 1995/96 NBA Title won by Rockets (nba title#1)
and went out getting Clyde Drexler for Hakeem the dream, then immediately entered (nba title#2) championship game winning easier
than their first title.

The Lakers did it 2nd with getting Shaq from Magic for their many Phil Jackson titles, and of course we knicks
fans prayed when the Big-3 joined together in Celtic-Land we hoped at least 1 of 3 was too too old for NBA Title.
*Wrong-are-rooooo!

YOU see forumers Lebron and Kylie Irving are those special game changing type players that MJ, KOBE and Timmy Duncan was.
Westbrook, Durant and few other stars has potential on being NBA special type players for franchise success.

Sure a team can win with STARs without these assets as MAVs did few yrs ago for their sole NBA title, and that Pistons did with
1 title in 2 NBA Final visits since yr. 2000 with Billups, Rip Hamilton and Sheed Wallace. Let me say at least 1 of 3 (Billups)
may get enough yrs & stats to be HOF one day.

However though we had chance with our special HOF Pat Ewing, Ew never had the pieces /star/players these present era teams has.

MJ I cant stand him but give it to the man he won 6 NBA titles, never loss one, KOBE 5 NBA Titles for current debate involving
MJ versus Lebron. *Cannot stand LBJ either but I respect Jordan and James.

Lebron gave the right answer but so did Michael Jordan regarding picking KOBE & 5 rings as on his level.

Don't forget the other competitor Chi-Bulls if D.Rose comes back. Would you be surprised ? of BULLs didnt move heaven & earth to
grab someone in 1 or 2 yrs to play with D.Rose ?

LBJ sadly mentioned yrs back he can OR wont ever rule out going back go CAV Land. Can you imagine that ? Irving and LBJ ?
*Disgusting ! , Darn the HEAT. Hate them don't want to see them win 2 titles in a row. Bad for whole NBA & da' Knicks.

Knicks need to blueprint all this from other nba'ers success, I've said this crap yrs ago on other popular boards such as this forum

The Spurs, Bulls (D.Rose), Celtics and Lakers despite issues of the LA & Boston teams they all are the great run franchises as a Knick fan I feel more & more urgent to win NBA title within 5 yrs.

The AllStar weekend As far as our Knicks reminded us & whole league whom surely took notice of the gem called Kylie Irving of CAVs pending Superstar during 2013 NBA Allstar weekend.

These current OKC, HEAT and whomever better win now BECAUSE once the CAVs get more pieces to build around Irving and players/stars
want to go Cleveland to play with Irving, CAVs going to be right their to have chance to be NBA elite for championships.

DJ, a few of on here including myself and 3g, were already touting kyrie as the next big thing.. good work posting,and you bring out some good points.. but this is why I said, i would be willing to trade carmelo in a deal that would bring us a guard like rondo.. even if currently injured... maybe a 3 team deal.... I think rondo is a game changer, although I think irving has the potential to be a better player, rondo is one of those guys that can dominate a game in different ways...outside of scoring...

Right correct

The CAVs wont be in same position with LBJ and I'm sure they learned hard tale of LBJ not having all pieces or best supporting
cast but Kylie will get players around him, and guys will want to go to cleveland because or K.Irving & that's scary in the nba east
and for our knickerbockers..

Knicks if they dont win in few yrs can be easily looking up to Kylie's CAVs and other NBA teams whom get built on best talent pool
players on teams.

I'm already tired of Raymond Felton and I was so happy he replaced J.Lin and never wanted Felton to go in 1st place
however his Defense is as bad as Amare and Stout is at least 25% time making tad of effort where ANY GUARD Burns Felton in
game play.

All Felton does is run his mouth which fans should be getting tired of... He need to pick it up 2nd half of season to restore my
confidence of our PGs

*Kyrie Irving, not Kylie. I wouldn't normally correct someone about a thing like this but your whole thread is about him and you don't know his name.

Last year Cleveland went 21-45. This year they've only gone 16-37.

They've only gone 37-82 since the drafting of Kyrie Irving.

45 games below .500 since the drafting of Irving, but yet, we're talking about the Knicks potentially looking up at Cleveland within the near future? Right.

Can anyone post Denver's record before/after Melo --- something tells me Melo will show a far larger improvement in years 1 & 2 but not certain.

C'mon, man. Marbury-type? That's pretty loaded.

what's loaded about it? marbury always put up numbers but never really took his teams anywhere. melo in denver? put up numbers but never really took his teams anywhere. melo in new york? he's putting up numbers but if we don't make it to the ECF we are all going to have to face the fact that he can put up numbers wherever he goes and not take his team anywhere.

You have to go back to that Lebron statement. A lot of times, it's Melo by himself. Can you point to our 2nd option after Melo? So far, it looks like Felton, cause nobody else is getting off with any regularity. No Chandler, no Kidd, No Shump, nobody. JR has become inconsistent, and Stat has yet to break out. At least Marbury had other guys to pick up his slack. Melo could use a sidekick.
