My biggest concern is if KD goes to the Nets with Kyrie.

If we land kd then he and ad will be the best duo in the league and both are in their primes. With ad being only 25.

It’s worth Robinson and RJ and Knox and dsj and picks

Even without kyrie.

If we can land him to join kd then any cap remaining will be adequate to fill out the roster and bring aboard short contracts and ring chasers

We would be fools not to

If we strike out on kd and co then I still think we should go for ad but I’d balk at the full all in price


Yeah... I feel you on this. Just want us to be competitive again (personally hoping for a KD signing with a JH & AD trade)

How could we ever pull off a trade for both Harden and AD? Or does JH stand for somebody else?



Jrue Holiday.

I'd be down with getting AD and KD and then surrounding them with good all around players. We absolutely have to have at least two knock down 3 point shooters hopefully guys that can also defend with Danny Green being one of the top guys i'd want to bring back home to New York. I'd love to be able to bring Mario, N.Vonleh and maybe even bring K.O'Quinn back. This would also be the kind of players i'd love to keep Frank around to play with who can guard 3-4 positions and keep hoping he finds a 3 point shot. Maybe even K.Allen ends up being the real deal and he gets some good minutes at PG with that team. Love his defense and he was good taking it to the rim and his shooting wasn't horrible.

That length we'd have with KD, AD and MRob would be ridiculous.

Nice to see the board here getting behind the Jrue/AD tandem but when I suggested this idea some months ago, it was with the idea that we’d have Zion (pick 1) & Pelicans wouldn’t even be in the top 5.

I think Pels end up trading Jrue separate. Maybe even to one of these teams that need a PG. I know Jrue’s a “SG” now but he’s been PG more in his career. Hell, I could see the Suns offering that 6th pick for Jrue.

with that said, DSJr or whatever raggedy ass PG the Knicks been trotting out since the dawn of time won’t cut it, so if Kyrie doesn’t come, the Knicks will need to sort out their PG situation


i do hate people who talk like that myself :lol:

but it's who i think kd gets to come with him. i personally am fine with butler or ad instead of him too. kemba i would live with although i'm less thrilled about it. my only thought is maybe the knicks don't want him after seeing how he acted in boston. maybe they decided against it already.

the nets don't make sense for him or them to be honest. they're placing him in the same situation he was in boston but with worse pieces. why would it end up different ? they got d'lo in the paper basically saying already that he prefers the team as is. at this point, teams have to realize bringing him in as your number 1 is only going to get you so far.

AD is my 1st choice...my only worry is the Knicks figuring out what they’ll do at the PG position in that scenario

my worry with KD and Kyrie is that our leaders will be a dude who’s extremely sensitive and a weirdo...maybe it’s not a big deal and I’m just being paranoid, Idk

yeah, I don’t get the BK thing other than the appeal of being a franchise player in NY, but it’s the Nets who are still irrelevant, and like u said, they have less talent than Boston...Nets I can see wanting him just because they’d get some buzz

If Kyrie goes to Nets, who does Durant recruit to come with him? klay? butler? tobias? AD?

Anything from Kyries camp should be ignored. I do feel like Brooklyn is our biggest threat tho.

Nets are a very big threat but ive seen players change their mind last min. Anything can happen if we sign KD first and have him in the room while tryna recruit Kyrie

I would say the Lakers would have the same advantage with Lebron but that organization has been dysfunctional and Kyrie just came outta a drama filled season
