Bledsoe (when healthy) is an unbelievable player. Tenacious on both ends of the floor.
Forbes seems to think a deal centered around Bledsoe and Kanter would be great. Here's a piece of Bledsoe from this spring. Some takeaways: he's a defensive beast (when he wants to be), and for the next 2 seasons, he's an affordable $15 million per year. That bit is almost where all the real value comes in. So yeah, if we can swing something crazy, package the Lee & Willy/Kanter, even if it means getting Tyson Chandler back, as long as we don't hand off 1st round picks we'll probably do better. Bledsoe and Ntilikina in the backcourt together would be a beastly pairing from a defensive standpoint, and Bledsoe (when his knee isn't aching) is among the very top elite athletes in the NBA.

I even said for the Knicks to look at Bledsoe in the off season(but on the idea that we were keeping Melo). Are we in a race to get to 34 wins? Ive gone back and forth in my own mind how many games well win---we have an advantage on many teams upfront--but our guards are 31 in this league. I think we need devlopment right now more so than taking another's dump off--and paying top $ RIP Crushalot😞

I think the quandary is that does KP have enough firepower around him to continue to develop? We sure look like we have the worst backcourt in the NBA at this point - are they good enough to not impede his development?
Thinking back to Dirk Nowitzki, he had some nice parts around him for his developmental years - Nash & Finley. The Knicks don't have anything close to that. Here's Dirk's year 3 team: Dirk was 22, Nash was ~26, Finley was ~27. @Briggs, it's kind of interesting if you consider the timelines. Nash and Finley didn't stick around long enough to win a title with Dirk, yet they stick in my memory as the big 3. Of course, Dirk didn't win it all until age 32, albeit with a cast of seemingly mismatched parts all built around maximizing Nowitzki's talent. https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/DAL/2011.html So I guess we need to think of it this way - simply, we need to sport a team/roster where KP can feel like they're moving in the right direction, that doesn't stunt his growth. I think this season is fine - he's growing into being the #1 option. Supposing he passes this with flying colors, by next year, he'll need to take another step and be more about his teammates. “That was two, two from the heart.” - John Starks
