Tell me, say we do get CP3 at all cost and end up with just Stat, Melo and CP3. How are you going to replenish the roster? You still have a problem with a defensive/rebounding center. You will have problems guarding the perimeter.

Keeping Iman would at least answer 1 problem.

Also, what happens if 1 of the big 3 gets hurt? how about 2 of them?

Sell season tickets for next year.

MSG don't care about "winning" games, its winning enough to produce an attractive "Product" on the floor. Go back and look at Dolan's quotes about the team. He calls it a "product".

Think about it, your producing a movie. You can make a crap movie with stars and special effects that attracts hype and brings them into to the box office or a quality script and brilliant acting that is so good people will see it on word of mouth and Oscar talk.

The Lakers and the Knicks are both financial success. One is hype, one has brought it for real.

Dude you add a bonifide all-star and you think it was to sell tickets....how can you judge that trade when the record before and after the trade was identical for the most part.

It's not like Dolan has a history of adding big names just to make a quick profit...
