Briggs you know I love Kristaps and I have a different opinion on him than you.
I think KP has franchise talent even if he has years to mature and also needs to work on his body.
But if the deal is two lottery talents, one of them who already has started in the league, and possibly more, you got to consider it.
If the Suns give us Bledsoe, Chriss (two starters from last year, one a 19 year old) the #4 pick to draft Jackson or Tatum, I have to think about it and say while I'd hate to see KP go, I'd understand it. This is a business and KP's people are pushing his way out. They may act like they aren't, but they clearly are. You don't talk to management or coaches and skip meetings, you have to face the potential of being traded after that. Even after trade talk you still don't say anything, well seems you really do want to move on.
If this happens, good luck to KP. He was a great kid and player for 2 years and made a punk move on his way out. Can't believe Melo got to him that deep. Sad, but I'm not going to cry over a kid pulling a punk move and getting the treatment he deserves, especially if the Knicks get as much as they are asking.
