Poll: What is the absolute most you wold trade for Kyrie?

xsaberx · Post #21 » by **xsaberx** » Sat Jul 22, 2017 3:22 pm

I personally really want to keep Frank too

I wonder if people would be so willing if they had actually seen him play in summer league - I feel he is getting discounted because of that - like he struggled or something - what if he looked really good and everyone was happy that we took him over DSjr?

KP wants to keep being a rebel? Bye KP. Seriously though, we have to figure out what KPs mindset is. If it's as bad as it seems, I'm totally down for:

KP to Suns
Bledsoe and JJ to Cleveland
Kyrie to Knicks

Id like to add a team to send Melo to but if we can switch out a disgruntled young guy for a better star while keeping all of our other young guys, I'd do it.

C - Willy
PF - Melo
SF - Lee
SG - THJ
PG - Kyrie
6 - OQuinn
7 - Frank
8 - Dotson

We'd be in a pretty good cap situation going forward as well.

I would trade DSJ+Melo for Kyrie.

2018 Top 5 protected 1st+ Melo+Willy would be really good for us but i wont hesitate to trade Frank to get Kyrie.

That's great and all... as long as KP is on the same page. If KP keeps this up, he's getting shipped out eventually. It's on KP. We have to figure out his motives/mindset and stop guessing.

Don't trade frank and protect the picks and I'm good

Trading first round picks is always a bad idea. Let's learn from our past mistakes.

No picks

Jalen Bluntson · Post #29 » by **Jalen Bluntson** » Sat Jul 22, 2017 4:11 pm

He named multiple teams. I'm almost certain we're last on the list to have enough assets to get him.

The only way is if LeBron wants Melo. Which would make me believe the banana boat boys are talking and I expect Wade to ask for a buyout and CP3 to opt out and leave Houston hanging in the wind. Which makes me go back to my original thought process.

Do i have to repeat it again? Kyrie for Paul...Love Melo.

I am really into Kyrie if we can keep the outgoing parts to a minimum. I don't see us having enough without gutting our team again.

They committed to youth and yes...Kyrie is young. But if we give up half of our youth and picks to get him...we're right back where we started. He gets hurt a lot. Plays weak defense and below average passing. He's gonna want a max deal.

I don't even want THJr at his price.

Ugh. All i have heard on this is the Knicks are willing to give up Melo and future firsts. No KP.

I'm checking out on this team until some real news develops. Too much going on while nothing is happening.

As time goes on the more I wanna say **** it. Let's wait for free agency.

Wololo · Post #31 » by **Wololo** » Sat Jul 22, 2017 4:12 pm

Not interested.

Cavs are going to ask more than we should give, and they're going to get it because Kyrie is locked for the next 3 years on a pretty friendly contract and has no NTC, so it doesn't really matter where he wants to go.

Amare_1_Knicks · Post #32 » by **Amare_1_Knicks** » Sat Jul 22, 2017 4:19 pm

I'd throw in Ntlikina, along with Melo, Lee, O'Quinn, and I suppose an obligatory draft pick. The contracts don't match up so we'd need to get back some other contracts, presumably Frye and someone else, at least.

No it isn't.

The key to learning is to properly value first round picks, not hold onto them no matter what

Hemispheres · Post #34 » by **Hemispheres** » Sat Jul 22, 2017 4:29 pm

No Frank, no KP (obvious), and no unprotected firsts. Rest I am cool with trading. Would prefer to jettison Kyrie to PHX and get JJ tho in a 3-way.

A Frank/JJ/KP core is more than I could have ever dreamed for as a Knicks fan.

Weaker than Melo's legs.

Kurt Rambis · Post #37 » by **Kurt Rambis** » Sat Jul 22, 2017 4:50 pm

Melo, Lee, O'quinn, WHG at most.

Only young guy i'd give up WHG.

Carmelo, my man, I hear Texas has the best strippers. That's the place for you to be. Don't cooperate with these Cleveland deals.

I'd rather not have him here because I feel it will be the Melo situation all over again, but if you can get him for a package of Melo, Lee, O'Quinn & a top 10 protected 1st & a top 10 protected pick swap, I think you have to do it
