Yea put it this way, if KP was in this draft he would without question be the number one pick... there is no one in this draft more talented then KP or more skilled. The knicks will never trade KP NEVER unless he tells them he's out in his contract year.
The only issue this team has is melo, he's unwilling to change his iverson/melo ball ways. One on one basketball is dead... it's all about team basketball and high percentage open looks, or drives ... melo refuses to play within a team system often calling his own number, it stops team movement and kills team chemistry on both ends of the floor..
Once melo is gone this team can finally grow into a real team with zero distractions 98% coming from MELODRAMA.
Once gone we can make KP the go to guy/ leader. Groom Willy into a top power forward, draft issac, let baker run the point, sign rose on the cheap to come off the bench.
KP, Noah
Willy, oquin
Issac, lance
Lee, holiday ?
Baker, rose
Now I don't know what Phil can get for melo but those players can produce also our 2 rd picks maybe frank mason
Maybe just let rose walk and get the youth core flowin .
Get rid of melo and the team will become a team. We already have the foundation pieces of a good team
