Knicks already have the 8th pick.

It's 2 to 1, not 3.

It'd be 3 & 5 vs. KP.

They already have KP & 8.

ummm ok
i want to say let him carry his latvian ass but i like the kid, but damn thats a haul,especially if we get to keep all of our picks this and next year

while that's a huge quantity of assets, KP will likely far and away be the best player in the deal. He's viewed as Dirk 2.0. There's a reason that Ainge, the guy who stockpiles picks like his life depends upon it, is willing to entertain trade discussions with us, despite Phil's incredibly high asking price

You may be right. But if you get 2 all-stars out of it plus another good piece that would probably speed up the rebuild. Plus we have our own pick which should be a good player. I'm not saying I want it to happen but it would be a bigtime haul for a 2nd year player

we need so much at a certain point it would be insane not to say yes. but I do feel compelled to remind people that KP will likely be the best player in any deal, by a mile, and the players that get drafted will hold far less value than the pick... Brian Windhorst said something like "first round picks are like new cars--their value plummets the second you drive it off the lot" a month or so ago. I agree. Barring injury, the Knicks will get great value for KP whenever they trade him. If we trade with Boston, once we draft all these guys, we wouldn't be able to trade them for KP or equivalent. Not to mention, there is always the risk that we strike out on a pick

for the reasons you state, we shouldn't do the deal

Listen, guys like Lebron, Steph, KD, Harden even Melo -- they don't come around every year. KP and KAT are the two most likely candidates to attain that status in the last few drafts. We should keep KP for that reason

The draft picks could turn into Oladipo, DeAngelo, Okafor or any number of other picks who sounded sexy but left fans and teammates unsatisfied.

Phil should resist the temptation. Having said that, if he and Gaines think there are real gems in this class and if does trade him then he should get a boatload in return

I implied when I said with 8 meaning I know knicks already have that. KP is not Durant, Lebron Steph, or Harden. This is a great opportunity to start moving forward.

All I'm saying is in this case 3 doesn't outweigh 1, 3 outweighs 2.

Hoarded assets don't make an impact to games until realized. Ainge saves them for just in case something like this comes available. Good move by Ainge and a good move by Phil for drafting the right player that can help get assets for a rebuild.

I agree with this. But what's the best case with these picks? A potential face of the franchise, who is 21 y/o, and a future star? isn't that what we'd be giving up?

Potential future star/franchise for two potential starters and potential star as well. Welcome to brand new concept for knicks fans - SELLING HIGH

As it should be. The only way the Knicks should consider trading KP is if they get a king's ransom in return. Fun to think about drafting 3 lottery picks tonight, but much safer to just put KP and Phil in couples counseling.

If the deal did get done. I pray Phil doesnt draft Markkenen with #8. He doesnt offer much defensive potential. If they get 2 top 7 pick. I am guessing Crowder is the player coming back. Take Isaac at 3. Smith with the other pick and Frank with 8. Still want Bolden too later in the draft.

Nah, He's taking Jackson over Issac. Don't think he is picking Smith and Frankie.

Isaac would be a better fit with Crowder. But you are probably right. Smith and Frank are best of both worlds. Frank and Jackson on the perimeter would be a strong foundation. Smith attacking scoring style balances with Frank pass first style. A lot of multi dimensional skills amoung them. With strong defense capabilities. Bolden would be a great add to that group at PF.

Knicks source on Phil right now: "he's dug in. If he doesn't get exactly what he wants, there will be no (Porzingis) trade."

Oh my god, he's out of touch and a laughingstock with his crazy demands.

No wait... if he gets anything less than a king's ransom he'll be a laughingstock.

No wait... if he even entertains a trade he's a laughingstock.

Arrgh, I can't keep track.
