Ultimateknicks.com Forums: Let the games begin: KD declines option

No trading all your draft picks/assets is considered Starphuch. The only reason the Lakers did that was because they had Lebron. If they don't win a title they will be f#cked for many years like we were when traded our draft picks all the time

Sign KD but really does he come alone? If so who? Kyrie?
Both come without making a trade. Part of the KP trade was we paid a premium to move the contracts. It would have been beyond ignorant to have done that, and then pay full retail for AD!!!!
Can you even begin to see the concept of how bad that would have been?

I can see KD coming by himself. Give the knicks a year to build their youth and acquire another high draft pick. We should see some improvement, but still be bad where KD can return next year and be the hero and give the team a good bump. Add a much improved Barrett, Knox, Robinson, and this can be a good team. Not to mention using next year's pick and additional picks to consolidate in a trade possibly. All options will still be on the table.

I expect us to improve and don't expect another top 5 pick. Let me rephrase. I expect a later lottery pick, which we can use as an asset in a bigger deal to add talent if KD is here. I am against constant tanking. We need to teach these guys how to win in order to develop them. We need to add talented vets on 1 year deals to accelerate the rebuild.

You get another pick by taking on a bad deal. Maybe NY knows they have KD only and make a deal with a team looking for cap space now for a bad contract expiring next summer?

Whiteside, Gallinari are 2 of those type of players. LA could move Gallo to sign Kawhii, Butler and Harris?? NY gets Gallo and a pick or two.

Gallo plays this season back in the Mecca, next season NY lets him go for their cap space back. They have 2 1st rounders, 1 FA max cap space and KD coming on board.

Resign DJ for 1 year

DJ
Gallo
Knox
RJ
DSjr

NOt a bad team this year even

Hmmmm....Simple really.

Cue TripleThreat and yet another possible lecture on the "mirror test".

Although Frankie and Lance Thomas works on the trade checker... you'd be clearing out the last of Phil! Hey Nalod, Boo!
Would be nice to get a pick or two, although if LA does sign on all of that money, what is their pick or two going to be worth?

How bout we sign Kawhi, Butler and Harris??

What annoys me is I don't want Kyrie or Duranr "Now that he is hurt" but I will not be able to watch the NBA next year if they go to the Nets. We will laughed at for the next 4 years

I was for tanking last year but I agree now its time to try to win every game

This is where I am at. The dumb Knicks, KP trade losers, no one wants to go there, Nets have culture be woukd ruin me. I want the nets to get Kyrie, let DLo go and implode.

Also, if KD goes to the Nets 9/10 of the city will hate him. No vindication if he follows Kyrie.
