At this point it will be better for the future of the franchise for KD and Kyrie not to come.

If they win they'll get players. This plan was dependent on Zion, too. The roster is just so bad right now it's hard for any max guy to justify playing here.
But that’s why they got 2 max slots so anyone could pick a teammate.. the Lakers have 2 superstars and blanks..the point was having 2, regardless of current talent
The Lakers have advantages no team in professional sports has. It's Hollywood. NY doesnt have that type of pizzaz to attract these guys. Hell the practice facility is in Purchase which is practically on another planet for pro athletes living in Manhattan

Scott Perry and Steve Mills are already the greatest Knicks executives since last century. Couple this refusal to overpay with the intelligent aggressiveness in trading Kristaps Porzingis and I legit can’t remember the last time I was this proud of a Knick front office.

This is absolutely NOTHING like 2010 and what we did to get there. Signing KD after tearing his Achilles and trading the farm for another max player would be similar though.
They didn't trade KP for cap space either. They had to trade him and got good value in doing so.
I never said they traded KP for cap space. I was comparing how they got in position to have the cap space.
Doing that trade, not getting Zion, KD rupturing his Achilles and losing out on AD before FA even starts, when all 3 were big components of the plan A, sucks. And I think it sucks more than losing out on Lebron + big name in 2010 FA.
Well...we don't know what the actual plan was. Obviously AD was not a part of any plans. IMO the plan was...clear the cap...develop youth...build from the ground up. KP threw a wrench in the plans but...Perry handled it well.
I don't see the comparison to 2010 because...they went all in and dumped assets to clear space...and failed. This year...they were able to sign 2 max players...and shyt happens. They didn't fail. The team is in much better shape going forward. I'm not really upset about any of it.
Signing KD and trading the farm would upset me tremendously though.
Charania noted the Knicks and Lakers are among a group of teams that includes the Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics that have expressed interest in the six-time All-Star.
The report pointed to the Knicks in particular as a team that is "motivated to pursue Davis sooner rather than later" because they can use the chance to play alongside him in their free-agency pitches to playmakers such as Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Kyrie Irving.
There are two different things.
The actual goal.
The plan B. We have a plan B. Never said we didn’t.
People keep using plan B to diminish the impact of plan A not coming to fruition.
All I’m doing is comparing the plan A’s.
The actual goal in 2017 had 3 players as opposed to 2010 and the actual goal has been severely impacted before FA even started.
How is that better that not attaining our goal in 2010?
Still a long way to go, so many things bounce back in our favor.
Like I said in the 2nd sentence, things can change b/c of FA. Kawhi signs here and we get someone else, then of course it’s better.
And like I’ve said in other posts, they’re at least set up to fully commit to an actual rebuild.
