Durant singing and in a good mood post surgery in his IG story. If that aint a man who understands life. He'll be back.

I don't know if that will work because he probably won't play at all next season so we won't get a better feel. No way in hell do the warriors try to bring him back early after what just happened. They're getting enough criticism for potentially ruining his career

Those were fun times.

I think people just want DLo as they want the Knicks to collect the entire top 7 set.

It was based on that one pass that he made that went viral.

No Ingram?!?!
What?....Hart???? He bummed it last year. What are my eyes seeing?

Ingram is not worth much due to the health concern with blood clots. I would say if he can make it through this season without it bothering him that Ingram is back to being valuable again.

Idk how factual this is.

If it is, they need to take that immediately

if he can get the max for 4 years now, he'd be a fool to turn it down with the uncertainty of his injury.

Oh absolutely. But I'm hoping no other team offers it to him and he's forced to stay in GS.

Durant wants to be shown the 'love' and that is exactly what the Knicks have done over this past year.

Even with the injury their commitment hasn't wavered. I think they are all in on KD. And that supposedly carried alot of weight with him.

Basically, KD is filling the role for me that Kyrie had, in that if we have to take on Kyrie to get KD, fine. Now, if we HAVE to take on KD to get Kawhi, fine.

Let KD redshirt, compete with Kawhi & some of the kids and other kids/picks got sent packing for vets.

Otherwise, play the youth, win 28-33 games, pray to the lotto gods, draft competently in the top 10 (if the org is capable of that)

It wouldn't even be a question for me to sign KD if i knew it came with getting Kawhi. I would do almost anything to get Kawhi because he's always been my top target even more than KD has. If we could get Kawhi and KD then i would go ahead and make a trade for a vet like M.Conley or someone that won't cost us everything we have like trading for AD would and actually give Kawhi a piece that can help him get us to the playoffs in the east. Don't know what the Wiz are wanting for B.Beal but he'd also be an option but think Conley would be a lot less. I wonder what we'd have to give up to get M.Conley from Memphis.

Frank, Trier
2020 Knicks 1st
2023 Dallas top 10 protected 1st

The Warriors don't have a choice. Durant has a player option to opt out. If he doesn't opt out he'll be back in GS.

If Barrett and White were on the Knicks, I'd nickname them Barry White

I don't think they'd do it for Frank. They want a PG that can actually come in and start with the other young kids and i would think they would just keep E.Payton (i think he's still with them but might of been traded) over trading for Frank.

I would trade them DSJ and that 2023 Dallas top 10 protected pick for #6 and hope like hellz that somehow Garland drops to #6 and do Barrett and Garland which would be a dream scenario come true for me but if not i'd be good with C.White at #6 and Barrett at #3.

I'd even give them DSJ, Trier and Dallas 2023 or some other combo for that #6 pick.

I meant that even if he opts in on GS, the warriors won't try to rush him back from the achilles injury, so if he doesn't play he would still be just as big of a question mark next summer as he is now, and if we waited until then you'd have him on the books an extra season which would make it an even bigger gamble for the knicks if he's not the same player

Mecca · Post #458 » by **Mecca** » Thu Jun 13, 2019 2:25 pm

Just to confirm, there’s no way we can land BI with DSJ/Knox/Dallas pick right? I wouldn’t move #3 or Mitch for him obviously.

Knicksfan1992 · Post #459 » by **Knicksfan1992** » Thu Jun 13, 2019 2:26 pm

But seriously I don't understand why everyone is flaming DSJ in this thread... leave 3tothehead alone. Also DSJ improved last year and is on a good growth curve outside of his free throws. He needs to get that mentally fixed and get back above the 70% line he was at in college. It will help his efficiency astronomically.

Unbelievable that the Knicks are so star phucked that they will hand their franchise to a 31 yr old player coming off an achilles tear. Scott Perry and Mills should be ran out of NY if they sign KD to a max.

Amare & KD are 2 different players with 2 different play styles. Amare at his very best wasn’t better than KD’s worst over the past 5 years.
Just to throw that out there of course.

KD is coming off one of the worst injuries you can endure as a basketball player according to doctors, players etc. Yet you want to hand cuff your franchise to a player that most likely will not return to his previous form? Man, yall are something else I swear!

Would you MAX out KD?
