If NY could/would add.. it makes sense for them to upgrade KAT. I don’t really want to end up with KAT anyways, but NYK would have to add a good amount.
OP logic makes sense, just really don’t see it working for Dallas or KD.
I'm pretty much here. KD coming to Dallas would be to play with AD(and Kyrie). Neither side should have interest if it takes moving AD to get him.
I know cgf always believes in his Knicks and Towns had a good year for them. My question is how much of the noise after the series with the Pacers is real about multiple Knicks players(and obviously this would mean Thibs as well) being over how many defensive assignments he was still missing after being with the team for a year.
If that's real, I'd think they'd love to move him for a guy like AD. Or if they feel they need the offense, just move him for KD though apron issues make that a bit trickier.
I know Brunson publicly went to bat for him, but that's Jalen Brunson he's always going to say the right things.
I mean they've performed almost exactly how I've expected them to for the past 5 years...with the guys I felt iffy about working out poorly, and the moves I liked working out well...so can you blame me for thinking I've got a solid feel for the team I watch most?
Especially after the three teams I spent all season telling folks that they were under-rating, ended up being the three teams that joined OKC in the conference finals with guys everyone told me I was wrong about, being crucial to their teams' success

Now that we've addressed that unnecessary sniping, I agree with the rest of this post. If those reports are legit & the lockerroom is fed up with KAT, then the equation changes & whether it could work on paper or not ceases to matter because that becomes a purely intellectual question, as it won't ever work in reality.
PS isn't responding to someone or talking about them, without quoting them so that they can clarify themselves just the most incredibly b****y way to behave? I know Chuck is upset with his own team's decision-making approaching "lol knicks" territory, and he wants the knicks to fail so that he can say that on some level, he wasn't wrong for all these years...but it's a very childish way to treat others.
