The Offical Kyrie Irving to NYK Sweepstakes 1.0

I officially believe Irving is coming. It destine to happen. His mind changed from earlier in the season and spoke about his desire to play for NYK. Why wouldn’t KD come and if not Kawhi, or trade for AD. Irving has the opportunity to have the organization in his hands. We’re full of young assets and no contracts. It’s going to happen.

It’s going to be a long 5 months. So many things out of our control can happen, and who really knows what the hell goes on in the minds of these players. They could flip flop 12 times between now and July.

I don't think the celtics will make the finals. I see Kyrie leaving the celtics for sure. that Gordon Hayward contract is going to hold back there franchise like Amare's contract did to us.

But if the Lakers get Anthony Davis then I see no reason for Kyrie to choose NYK over LA.

Knicks fans, you know what to do. Give this man a very warm welcome at the Garden tonight.

To me it feels like the Carmelo Anthony situation, like it’s either Knicks or Nets, but his desire is NYK and MSG, although the Nets are a good team, the Knicks have more assets with the lottery pick. We got rid of literally everything touched besides Frank.

Only thing different from this situation from the Melo deal is we won’t be trading for him. We hold onto our assets.

Perry has a plan.

those are the kind of comments that will force a GM to make a trade over the uncertainty. I won't be surprised if Ainge makes a panic move and trades Kyrie now before the deadline.

The 6th man role, unless we package the lottery pick for Anthony Davis, alongside signing Kevin Durant.

He's a talent for sure. But I can't help but be concerned about his history of injuries.

I think Perry's next move is to brazenly send Ainge an offer for Kyrie before the trade deadline. Trading assets for Kyrie now would open up the possibility for 3 max cats. The turmoil surfacing in Boston might incentivize Ainge to take the deal.

I see what you're doing here, Perry!


I saw this coming before the news broke on Kyrie; there's a reason why the KP trade went down so early. Perry ain't finished yet, Folks!

If the Lakers get AD, will they have Max money for Kyrie?

The only player with a history of injuries is Porzingis. Everyone else is healthy and dreams of playing for nobody but the Knicks, a team irrelevant for their entire lifetime.

Dolan knows what he's doing.
