Listen - KD followed Kyrie to Brooklyn. The Knicks only want Irving if Durant came first.
KAwhii is a LA guy and will likley go there. IT was a long shot to begin with.
For next season, you could make the argument that the NEts will be about as good. Kyrie may be better than DLo but also brings baggage. DJ is not the same player he was and we all saw that first hand.
THe kNicks have added 5 legit rotation players to their squad from last year. That is signigicant. Gone are Elleson, Garret, LT, Jenkins, Mudiay. IN their place are 5 guys who you know their name and have already perfromed in the league.
There is no doubt NY is a signifacntly better team doing into the season. How much? We will see but early guess would be a borderline 8th seed in the East. Kinda like the NEts last year. What is the effect if that occurs - they becomem more attractive, they get better, still young and maybe then people start taking them seriously.
Its not what we wanted but Randle and Portis are good and young. Gibson is a good vet and Bullock can shoot it. RJ can grow into being a superstar! (lets hope)
