Wonder if KD is still willing to come here to the Knicks without another max FA.

Those aren’t the only max FAs.
Klay & Kawhi are the X Factors.

Would y’all try to outbid the Bucks for Khris Middleton if we got KD locked up and an AD trade finalized?

Yep. I’d rather him over Irving.

Not sure I get the fit in NJ for KI. It smells too much like Boston for him. A young, overachieving team with an identity already established. If he goes there and him and DLo work as poorly as he did with Terry. Or if (when) he’s out and they start playing better - his whole image is somewhat shot.

Not to mention the fact that even if it works they are still not a championship caliber team. If he sees KD and AD in NY and Kawhi stays north of the wall, they are still probably 4th or 5th in the division with Philly and Boston still arguably better.

So the downside is huge, without the championship upside.

exactly! :lol:


That's kinda my stance too.

I'm anti the idea of KD, but mostly because history has shown he won't come. Major FAs don't come to NY, they use it as leverage.

That said, I'm okay with seeing him in a Knicks uniform.

Just don't give up the farm for a one year rental if AD. I'll be pissed about that. And I'd rather have AD than KD

It dont make sense at all but Kyrie is weird. With all the media speculation in Boston. He said “I cannot wait til this is over”

If he goes to msg with KD. He would get way more attention. He a low key guy. I think thats what appeals him about Nets. Also the young guys in BK embraced Dlo and were perfectly happy with him having keys. Thats the opposite situation he had in Boston where his young guys came off ECF with a ton of confidence so naturally they weren’t so happy with Ki’s extended role

I’d give up everything for Harden to get a Harden-KD duo, but Harden is not on the market, and he never will be unless he demands a trade

the Rockets are nothing without him and would go back to being irrelevant if he was gone...they aren’t trading him

i don't want his defenseless, toxic offensive style anywhere near my knicks uniform. isolation basketball does not produce winning; i feel like us knicks fans should've learned that over the last decade.

he's way too much salary to take on also. maybe if they want trier + lance.

I swear to god, if all we get is KD

That's literally exactly what the Lakers did last year, not a fan
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis
VJ Edgecombe/Jrue Holiday
Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward
Kyle Filipowski/Collin Murray-Boyles
Alex Sarr/Clint Capela

Bench: Malcolm Brogdon/Hansen Yang/Rocco Zikarsky/RJ Luis Jr.
