Someone would have to take a paycut, but I wouldn't be surprised if Durant and Irving went to LA. LeBron and Kyrie are on better terms lately. Would rather see that happen, then having to max out Irving. Too many red flags. We'll see...

Not a good look for them to be speaking on this with the playoffs around the corner

Not a good look walking to center court in preseason, and telling Boston fans you're signing a long term deal. That is if you end up going somewhere else.

If they did the Superfriends thing in LA, that draft pick (if it isnt Zion) and Lonzo Ball, might be available.

Lonzo's father is finally being sidelined. He's moving on to promote his other kid. Ball has excellent court vision, he will keep the ball moving. Good in halfcourt. If we did draft Morant, thats one player I wouldn't mind trying at the 2, filling in at PG.

Smith jr would be the perfect backup for Irving. Help keep Irving's minutes down

No quotes from Kyrie in the article, only quotes from a reporter and what he heard. I dont see this as a bad look at all...Theres a lot of noise out there right now.

Would it surprise you if it were true? Nevermind how it got out.

I was looking for the same thing which is the quote from Kyrie. Didn't see it, but the fact that it's SAS. He has a relationship with the players. If Kyrie didn't give the ok then I doubt Kyrie is cool with this info being made public right now. If Kyrie did give the ok and had these discussions recently. Then allowed SAS to make this public right now. Then it further puts questions to him failing to be a leader. He's about to battle to try and win a chip with his current team. There is no benefit for this to be out right now as its news that could have easily been delivered after the playoffs(for the Celtics) and still have the same effect.

The source is good. Everything in life is a grain of salt, but I am starting to hear things from places I never have before. Gonna be a fun offseason I think

I work w/ Kryie's xxxx (pretty close family member). Guy walks in (he's NOT a Knick fan) and says "Mikey... your gonna be happy."
I said why... he said I spoke w/ xxxx and asked him if Kyrie is coming home. He said "oh **** yea... Its done. He's here."

Wow. That is awesome. I got hooked on Knick message boards because a guy broke the Ewing trade. Keep us posted with updates if there are any.

I mean its just people talking. What perked my ears was I know this relationship is legit. Ive seen the picks w/ my friend's son and Kyrie. This isnt a person who advertises that to others, so when he told me this it was organic, not phished.

I think this is the time it can happen.
Some decent bodies on the roster.
Two max players who are actually stars.
Weak east paving way to deep playoff runs early
NYC/Garden/home/business/city
non circus front office
Player friendly coach

time will tell. I like the possibilities. For once

Here is what he said. The Hayward situation w/ Brad Stevens really hurt the Celtics chemistry (I didnt realize he coached Hayward). Kyrie really want to play the rest of his days in the garden. He's won a title, he feels like Cle doesnt get the Lebron chip if he didnt play off the wall and wants to be the guy who brings the Knicks BACK. The way it was framed to me was you are always open in life (its stupid not to be) but every sign points to the Knicks. The way it was told to me was he would have to be shown something he didnt see coming to change his mind.

Also, the KD to the knicks has only heated up since KP was traded..

A noteworthy majority of NBA players polled agree Kevin Durant will soon be a member of the Knicks.

In an extensive survey carried out by The Athletic over the last month, 69 of 109 players canvassed (63.3 percent) believe the Knicks will land free agency’s most coveted prize come July. The Warriors finished a distant second at 20.2 percent with the Nets, Clippers and Thunder also getting votes.

The stars are lining up here more than when LeBron was a FA which was moreso wishful thinking...If you want another sign, Rod Strickland (Kyries god father) was at a Knick game last week...Cant remember ever seeing Hot Rod at the garden. with that said, as a lifelong Knick fan who goes back to the very early 80s, I expect the worse and hope for the best...We shall see.
