Initially I wanted the Kyrie trade to go through but I backed away a bit based on this logic, but after seeing Willy's value get tanked, the Melo for Kanter trade,and seeing the way Kyrie and KP played this year, I would've traded Frank, Willy, and a protected pick for Kyrie if I had the chance to go back and do it. The Knicks would lack depth and assets, and would be forced to build the rest of the team through free agency, so I still see the logic in not doing the trade, but damn man, a guy like Kyrie is rarely available, it's hard not to let it tempt you. Kyrie would've had KP looking like an MVP for the whole season,not just part of it. Free agents would've been lining up to play with KP and Kyrie. I'm not upset that it didn't happen though, I'm still high on Frank and that hasn't changed over the course of the season, and as long as the Knicks hit on their picks this year, they'll be in a good position regardless; there's some game changing bigs with some crazy skill sets and a lot of quality wings in the upcoming draft, so while being bad sucks, if you're gonna be bad it's a pretty good year to do so.
Two picks is still too much though, especially if they're unprotected, and the Cavs probably would've wanted more than that considering what the Cavs gave up.
