Listen to me, I say this with much love and sympathy. Some of you need to tell the cops and point on the doll where you have been touched. Once an athlete gets his "pay day" 99% of them ultimately believe all the puff pieces about them. In effect, they're OVERRATED. Now, there's the 1% transcendent player like a Michael Jordan who can give Will Purdue 4 rings by watching courtside.
Kyrie Irving is OVERRATED. He puts up a nice highlight film tape. He definitely has talent. In NO WAY is he worth putting $20M+ against the cap space. The Cavs were actually a WORSE team than the Knicks before Lebron came back. He was NOT able to elevate the talent around him despite being coveted more than his mentor,
Ramon Sessions...
Yeah
that Ramon Sessions. The one coveted by crazy Knick fans like pedophile Bronies looking for a unicorn.
Here's the single greatest reason why you shouldn't trade anything more than a salary dump for a guy who got his money and needed 2 more guys who are better in talent to make him a winner:
He do't play NO DEFENSE.
Again, ONCE you give a guy $20M/season he loses value instantly. Don't you DARE trade KP for this garbage. What prompted the Knicks to
Rebuild every THREE seasons is this concept: Oh look! Star wanting out, we can leap frog our rebuilding!
Watch it blow up in our faces. A guy getting paid $20M+/season can't respect the struggle in New York City to EARN his fans. He just comes in and EXPECTS it. Looking at you, Melo.
IF you're going to tell me that a donkey dick like Kyrie Irving who is WHINING that Lebron James, same Lebron James who came back to armpit Cleveland and took him to the Finals THREE times (when he couldn't make the playoffs once)...then John Wall aka the NEXT Melo is your man.
DON'T CHEAT the REBUILD: Younger. CHEAPER. DEEPER. MORE MOVABLE ASSETS to improve shortcomings like a serious lack of defense.
