Besart rules! But no Frank in a contending starting lineup, sorry.

Not sure why he'd even want to leave in the first place, and then come here, but if this is true - oh boy

Just the first domino to fall, and then you get either Kyrie or Kawhi and then maybe even trade for Anthony Davis.

Maybe.
Frank needs to show something from now until the off-season.

I want him to be. But I’m not going to lie to myself and say he is.

We would need to look for a SG if Frank continues whatever he’s doing.

KD likes KP so it might be another combo of FA coming here... I really dont want Davis... nor Giannis around here!!

If we get Zion, you resign Vonleh and make a trade for Bamba... you wont need someone else on this team!!

Robinson / Bamba
Williamson / Vonleh
Durant / Knox
Dotson / Trier
Irving / Smith or Frank
Strength and Honour!

Kyrie
R.J. Barrett (if we miss Zion) OR DSJr
Knox/Lance/Vonleh
Durant/Hezonja
A. Davis/DeAndre/Mitchell

DSJr/RJ Barrett+Frank+Trier+2 Dal 1st Rnd picks for AD

We may retain DeAndre because of his friendship with KD.

BOOK IT!!!!
In short, all I am saying is RJ-Brunson-Grimes-Quickley-Randle are the untouchables moving forward.

I do not want Kyrie here. His leadership and loyalty is not what I covet.

I'm not a fan of high usage ball players that pound the rock a lot.

He is having a career year statistically though; I'm pretty sure career highs in assists per game, FG%, 3 pt % and TS%. His numbers are actually very impressive from an efficiency standpoint.

I'm also a little bit concerned with his injury history, but he is an other worldly talent no doubt.

I can't think of what PG I'd have ahead of him in FA, but if it was up to me I'd wish for some combination of Klay-Durant or Klay-Davis with our squad. I think that would be a terrific fit for the type of team we're trying to assemble here.

You are going to make the AD trade now (in a week) and use Kanter and Wes to be the filler. Then extend him after KD and Kyrie signs.

Is this even possible lol?

Y'all know that I was against this trade but it's about what we do with the 2 max slots and this year's pick. If everything falls into place which is still a longshot then everything is all right in Knicks land.

He got his three rings, I’m sure he’s more than happy to have.

Some players just like to move on after a few years. Makes it easier if they were winning.

Championship teams never last together forever.

Everything Durant has done since his OKC exit seems like it’s been to upstage LeBron.

- He’ll likely get his third championship ring
- He’ll eliminate another LeBron team in the Playoffs
- He’ll do what LeBron didn’t have the guts to do, go to the Knicks and better his image around the NBA

He’s never wanted to play next to LeBron. He still holds that Finals loss to the Heat close to his heart.

Def something toxic about Kyrie.
