Seems like a Randle/Russell summer is gaining traction. There are some merits. Overall, defense would be tough to reconcile. Like the days when Tyson basically covered for everyone. Tough offensive group though. Would need a 3-D wing. Hi Frank. Get it together.

I know everybody is gonna laugh and mock us like crazy BUT im not even capping or trollin when I say this but I would be perfectly fine with where we stand with our team if we strike out on Kd and Kyrie. (Obviously we aint getting Kawahi)

Im just glad to know we can trust Perry to not make the classic Knicks panic move. Makes me feel good to trust our FO for once

Nobody what happens the future is very bright. I truely believe RJ is capable of being a franchise player. He showed he can clearly handle the pressure. Our first top 3 pick since Ewing. This is an exciting time. **** the haters.

I’d like DLo Randle more if our best prospects had proven stretch elements to their games (can shoot above 35% from 3 on high volume). The only guys who can shoot are Dotson and to a lesser degree, Knox.

I guess DLo bring that’s, but I’d like that to be an in addition to the core.

Sooo someone said that Mike Conley and Kyle Lowry were better PGs than Kyrie Irving :lol: :lol:

Pretty sure no GM in the league trades Kyrie straight up for either unless the earth really is flat :o

Oh crap. Is that what the NY news outlets are reporting? I don't mind randle but I realize he is not a good fit with Mitch due to lack of shooting. Not sure about dlo either but he did make the all star team. We would be pinning our hopes on Barrett becoming a superstar if we max those 2 guys out.

We are hearing a lot of chatter that Kyrie’s rep among teams is suspect at best. That’s not to say he’s not gifted — nobody could seriously question his scoring ability.

Agreed on each point here. A rarity.

this would literally go against everything perry/mills have stated. Neither of these players are the type of impact players that will make it worth the contracts they get. We will overpay them and be a middling franchise. Sure we will win a lot of games...maybe even double the games from last year but who cares we wouldn't have any ability to get to the level we would need. It would be a horrible offseason.
