My Posse's On Broadway: Official NY Knicks 2016-2017 Season Thread

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Lmao
Pretty sure we predicted this would happen

LET IT BURN

 

[Wargames]

That's actually a good deal. I'm not saying they should trade KP but that is a great deal if the Knicks hold onto 8 themselves

 

[Liquid]

Booker, #4 and #8. I will roll with that.

 

[Kitsch]

 

[RickyGQ]

I don't believe that, no way the Suns turn that down.

Turn it down?!? I love KP but that's a great trade for him. Suns would be dumb to do it.

 

[Liquid]

Man, I am torn right now. Melo is obviously out, so that's good news.

I would like to keep Porzingis, but if we can turn him into Devin Booker, get the #4 and keep our #8?

Booker
Love
#4? FOX?
Markenan? (if available)

That's a GREAT fukking flip right there. Melo, Rose are out. We keep Hernangomez as well?

SHIIIIIIIIIIIIET!

No defense whatsoever, lawdamercy. I can't wait til KP turns into a 25 ppg, 9 rpg, 2.5 blocks a game( with elite defense) beast, bout to make us look silly for sleeping on the young gawd

Nobody is sleeping, but the young gawd wants to leave.

I don't blame him either, but I can't think of a better haul for him. I don't really want any part of a Danny Ainge trade.

When the ghost comes down to ATL to pair with shroe and Timmy da Gawd

You heard it here first

Y'all are counting the 8th pick like it something we are getting in the trade... We already have that.

So you are trading him for Devin Booker and a pick. To me: that's not a good haul. Porzingis is miles more valuable than Devin Booker by literally every metric.

Two Lottery picks plus a player -- that's a haul you have to consider. But if KP was in this draft right now, he'd be hands-down, no question No.1 pick. Nobody else would be in consideration.

If you're worried about KP leaving and just want what you can get for him that's one thing, but if that's the best out there then I'd rather take my chances and keep KP. If you're gonna build around Booker you're gonna need elite defenders all around him, and the Knicks would need another rim protector who isn't an offensive liability if they hope to become an elite team one day. Booker and the fourth pick sounds good on paper, until you draft someone like Tatum and years later you realize you traded Dirk with defense for Klay Thompson( an offensively more rounded version to his credit) without the defense and the second coming of Rudy Gay, or De'arron Fox aka smaller John Wall with a worse jumper.

KP has potential to be Dirk-like offensively and Gobert-like defensively...

We're talking about a guy who could possbily average 25 points on 50/40/90 splits while allowing 40% FG at the rim and being elite at covering the P&R defensively. D-Book is cool but he's nowhere near KP in terms of impact. KP should be untouchable, as much as I love Isaac and I'm a fan of D-Book, we can't trade KP it's crazy to even suggest it honestly. KP has already shown upside and continued improvement.

D-Book is like a Kobe/Klay hybrid without the defense, a skilled microwave scorer with a smooth shooting stroke.

That's fine, but it really looks like he wants to leave.

You want to torture the kid and have him show up every single day and potentially half ass it as a result?

He should try and force Dolan's hand and fire Phil or trade him.
