Briggs, even you must recognize your pathetic impulsive posts are illogically based on the emotion you have at the moment.

Atl would consider the deal because they realize how hard it is to get young talent with franchise player potential. Players like KP don't go on the market for good reason. Like I said I'm glad our front office doesn't seem to be that dumb. He's going to be out so need to use that time to build the right way.

ATL might draft a franchise talent at the 3.
KP is out with a torn ACL. Is there any precedent for that kind of trade?
ATL would not consider it and it has nothing to do with the trade, its just plain ignorant concept from a poster who just threw it out there. Not a beat reporter who is knowledgeable or even a blogger who poses to be one.

ATL might draft a franchise talent at 3, but odds are against it no matter where a team selects. There are teams in the lottery every year (Sac, Phoenix, Orlando, Charlotte etc) looking for a franchise talent and can't find it. Proven talent at age 22, injured or not, is among the most valuable commodities in the league.

you act like will get fleeced for sure.

Ok, but then we give up our "franchise talent" and go into the pool with the other teams like you mentioned who are habitually in the lottery and can't get one?
Not that I can validate that is a fair trade or not but KP won't be 100% for the next full season so why would ATL do that?

Schroeder wants to get paid. Saying you want to win never hurts your brand.

if all he wants is to get paid, then he would've just shut up, play ball, and pad his stats. I tend to believe him on this one

You act like the return on the trade is a bonafide success. Point fingers but you offer no valid trade scenario that makes us better, only a concept because your insecure that KP will craw out of the bathroom window like a date that ditches you.
At this moment KP is damaged goods who is coming up to his Restricted year.
Its not a great scenario at the moment but that's reality.
I don't care about ATL. They will do what they do.

There a million and 1 proposals you can come up with, it would be stupid to sit here and list them all. Besides, I'm not saying the knicks should look to trade him, im saying they should listen if it makes sense.
but they don't pay attn like

Shumpert, who averaged 9.5 points per game as a rookie last season, then tore his left ACL in the first game of the playoffs, has been working his game back into shape, averaging 5.6 points per game this season. Shumpert returned to game action on Jan. 17.

The Suns were willing to part with forward Jared Dudley and a future first-round draft pick, but that deal wasn’t piquing the Knicks’ interest—especially when the Knicks believe in Shumpert’s talent, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

A yr later GM Steve mills and president phil jackson traded him for a lowly 2nd rnd pick.

that pick would have been the 2015 draft #13 DEVIN BOOKER, the same yr they drafted kp...

Scared money don't make money

Schroeder has 3 more years at $15.5M each left on contract.

Because Atl is prepared to be bad again next year and do a full rebuild. They can have another chance at a top pick plus KP returning as a potential franchise player still in the early stage of his career. Same reason we should never do anything like this. But it will never happen so doesn't matter. We are in a good place to add talent through the draft and return a healthy KP who will continue to get better.
