With that said, maybe if we showed a little patience, we could have kept those pieces then sign Melo over the Summer. I believe we traded 4 picks and got 1 pick back. We outright traded 1 1st round pick and 2 2nd round picks and we swapped our higher for their lower 1st round pick in one season. That's my understanding from this. http://www.nba.com/knicks/news/carmeloanthonyacquired.html |

With that said, maybe if we showed a little patience, we could have kept those pieces then sign Melo over the Summer. We also traded 2 first rounders (and got one lower one back). So even if you don't count 2nd rounders and are happy to give them away, his use of picks (plural) is still correct. He didn't say a net change of 2 picks. He just said we gave them 2 picks. He was describing what we gave them not what we got back. |

It wasn't clear to me you were clarifying that you were wrong when you said pick but OK. Now it is. |

Can't tell if this has been posted but some interesting stats and breakdowns:
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20149584/does-kyrie-irving-kobe-bryant-lebron-james-problem-nba Irving's stat line has superstar written all over it. In 2016-17 -- his age-24 season -- Irving scored a career-high 25.2 points per game, while sharing the ball with James and Kevin Love. To put his scoring ability in perspective, when James went to the bench last season, Irving's scoring average per 36 minutes soared from 23.2 points to a staggering 35.2 points. Irving can get buckets. Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program
