either a 1 or Frank not both! Too much!

Disagree, Irving (including the flaws in his game) is in his prime, and too good to pass on over a couple of lottery tickets. Remember that the Knicks (the last two times) drafted below where they should have been given their place in the draft. Anything can happen.

Irving is a proven talent, you could play the NBA lotto for the next 5 years or more and not find a player as talented. Kyrie has the experience of playing with Lebron, a ring, add that with what Irving brings to the table, and that adds up to more than a couple of picks (or an unproven PG) with no guarantee of success.

First off, if this is the guy I think it is, it's Bill Simmons, the op-ed guy from SI, ESPN, and the dude who got kicked off ABC(?) basketball coverage. He's a HUGE Boston guy and honestly strikes me as very similar to Coherd.

That trade is a joke and anyone who does a modicum of research can tell if a trade is allowed to happen. I dont think the money works on that deal, and if we are giving up that much we better be getting Warren in that deal.

Keep Wily. He is improving and can board big time. Offense is devekoping. Melo was gonna go anyway and for slimness pickings so if we can get Kyrie for Frank plus a pick then do it.

Wily/KP/ Kyrie/ THJr /
Lee & Quinn still bait
Bench will be light

Baker/Dotson/Thomas/Noah?/Quinn/KUZ/

They'll be a SF stud as a free agent away from contending
When will we have $30 mm under cap?

Not a Simmons fan either. Still dont believe that a lotto pick and Frank N. would deter me from wanting to see the Knicks trade for Irving. He's shown enough IMO to be worth it. This team needs a massive infusion of talent, this would speed up the rebuilding process (with youth) exponentially.

But no way I'm giving up any of our best assets for him.

I guess you failed to watch the playoffs last year and the Finals where he looked like the best player on the court.

I saw, though I never thought he looked better than Lebron. I also don't let the small sample size of a single postseason override everything else he's done. How did he look in this year's postseason; at any point did he look like the best player on the court? Did you know that this past season, the Cavs were -120 in 635 minutes with Kyrie on the court and Lebron off?

I've seen enough of a sample size in his career through the eye test to know: 1) He's a franchise player 2) He's top 3 pg in the NBA right now 3) He's the best ball handler in the NBA 4) He's ice water clutch

And he is only 25 and wants to come here. His best b-ball is ahead of him, not behind him.

If you're eye test tells you Kyrie is a better PG than Chris Paul, Westbrook, or Curry than you need to get your eyes checked.

Right now he is better than CP3 with more upside. The order goes: Westbrook, Steph, Kyrie

Like I said, you need to get your eyes checked. CP3 is a better shooter, gets more assists, fewer turnovers, more rebounds, more steals, and is a much better defensive player. There's nothing that Kyrie does better than Paul and there isn't a traditional or advanced statistic that's better than Paul's (except for being a slightly better FT shooter).

Throw your Advanced Metrics out the window: You are starting a franchise tomorrow: who are you taking? a 32 year old CP3 or a 25 year old Kyrie coming off an MVP type playoffs and Finals. If you poll the current 30 GM's in the NBA, 29 would say Kyrie.

The problem is he may be best suited as a robin. He was in the best possible situation. Playing along side arguably the greatest player of all time. There is a real possible downside to him coming to the Knicks as the franchise player. That we give up a kings ransom believing him to be of that caliber. Yet we don't have a Lebron on our team. Would he become a ball jock that plays little defense and doesn't make the team better as the alpha? That's a possibility. The price paid is extremely important.

I believe that Irving can be Batman, and KP robin, if Porzingis isn't an afterthought in the offense. I believe he would respect the fact that Kyrie is in his prime, not far from a ring, and wouldn't have a problem with that dynamic. As long as it isnt the same dynamic KP had with Rose.

Cavs went through a ton of ugly stretches this past season even with Lebron James. Its possible that without Lebron(say he got injured last season) the Cavs wouldn't even be a playoff team.

Consider melo wants out, he's better than anything out of Houston, it does have a down side, but the upside can be huge.

If the deal was only Melo for Irving then it would be a no brainer. But that's clearly not the deal. Cavs are going to want to use Irving to load up since they will probably lose Lebron next summer. Irving isn't as good as George or Butler though and they were had in garage sale type deals. So we will see.

Wilys stats over 36 minutes year 1: 13.6 boards and 16 PTs. He's a keeper - he will play D and weighs 240-250.

It was mostly the LeBron and Kyrie show that got them a ring. They weren't all that deep a team. Lebron was obviously instrumental in taking the the Cavs to another level.

The difference in NY is that they would be building a team from the ground up around younger players. They wouldn't need unreliable players like JR or Shumpert to play such an important role. This would be a deeper team, with a longer shelf life. LeBron's Cavs were assembled in a hurry.

You're right, Kyrie was playing Robin to maybe the greatest Batman ever, as far as leadership goes. I believe he has shown enough to risk a couple picks to see if Irving learned anything in his time with LeBron. Id be surprised if he hasn't.

This is not that big of a hiccup. Melo can opt out after next year too. Melo and Lebron team up and Cleveland for a shot, then both opt to take advantage of that sign before they are 38 thing in the CBA.

OMG, I can't believe I have to root for Melo to not waive his NTC so we don't make a multi-asset trade for Kyrie but if that's what it takes I'll be the conductor of the Melo train!

Hmmm. "THE WRENCH" Didn't think about that.

This is not that big of a hiccup. Melo can opt out after next year too. Melo and Lebron team up and Cleveland for a shot, then both opt to take advantage of that sign before they are 38 thing in the CBA.

True. Unless Melo thinks he would have trouble getting 28M, for 2018, elsewhere?

That's the trade with Frye's expiring going to PHX.

My dream of Kyrie becoming a Knick might come true after all.

Then again he will probably wind up in San Antonio
