So a Frenchman, Latvian & Spaniard Walk Into Bar, Melo Takes All The Shots Offseason NYK Thread

[Scottie Drippin]

I'm going to stop being a bytch and keep it real...

Chances are, Kyrie or not, we aren't winning a chip in the next 6 years.

I'm okay with that because I'm a big fan of entertainment and I'm of the belief that the 90's Knicks, who didn't win a chip, was the tire of fun and fan Beauty that I enjoy.

The Cubs broke their cheese if 100 years.. You think they are still filled with joy today? No, they are chasing the next year and that shyt is forgotten.

With that being said, I'm not trading Frank. Part of what's fun is setting my draftees grow - I'm willing to be on record saying I want Frank and KP.

Either way, bring on next season- I miss Knicks ball.

This is where I'm at. I'd rather not win and see talented young players grow and find out what we got versus another reactionary free agent signing/trade. I hated giving up Felton, Rooster, Chandler, and MozGod to get Melo, but it was Melo, we rolled the dice. Had some fun years. Let's do it the other way now and see how that goes.

Cosign.

Well said Breh.

We tried it with Melo.

On some Cam'ron "would I do my life all over again, I'd fukk fat ass Tasha if I had nothing else to do", I'd still trade for Melo and have fun.

Let's try the opposite this time.

I'm willing to build.

The joke behind all of this is that if we were able to get kyrie without trading melo , (Frank, willy, Lee, draft pick) we'd be right in the mix for a eastern conference title

 

[nomoreneveragain]

We're not getting Kyrie. Just a waste of time even speculating

Build what?
What part of our team sucks don't yall understand? lol
Our team Is no different than the phoniex suns

SOta was building with towns Wiggins and Zach Lavine (which is way more talent den we have) and we're a laughing stock every year.
Finally thibs came to his senses and got some real talent to mix with the young guys

Some of you guys are focusing on age and not talent lol. kyrie is perfect for the knicks and is well liked and can help with recruiting

Again, it's Kyrie Irving.

So nikka kyrie not that damn good to be giving away picks for. Kyrie ain't never lead a team to shyt and outside of scoring does nothing elite. At least prime melo was the best rebounder at his position. Knock off Iverson not worth frank and picks

 

[#SOG_soldier]

What's the difference between Kyrie and Melo when he first got to NY?

Melo was clearly better. Melo has a scoring title and was an mvp canidadate. Knock off Iverson not even top 5 at his position. Melo at the time was the 2nd best sf in the nba. And with the crop of upcoming pgs I don't even think kyrie gone be an all star in a few years. nikkas like wall and greek freAK are just flat out better than him. Isiah Thomas too. And young nikkas like fultz and frank gone be on his ass in a couple of years

The difference between Kyrie and Melo when he doesn't got here is that Kyrie plays in one of the two most important positions in basketball if not the most important position. Outside of that though, I'm hesitant to act like it's an upgrade when he's not the most accomplished defender.

The biggest difference between them is melo is older and uninspired because of how we have treaTed him. prime melo is better than kyrie, and he still has some game left but I doubt it would be show here unless perry can perform a miracle.

Kyrie is young, inspired, and is an allstar who hasn't hit his prime. kyrie was cooking steph curry to shreds in last year's nba finals

I'm not sacrificing our future on a player who's on a 2yr deal that can bail on after his deal is up.

Like I said, they can have melo and frank or melo and a future protected first rounder. But I'm not giving up melo, frank and future first rounders to an unproven player who's never won more than 30 games being the number 1 option. He's not a top 10 player, but he's easily in the 15-20 range. Just don't get desperate and giver away the whole farm. You can have any of the 3 trades below.

Melo and willy
Melo and frank
Melo and a future protected first rounder

I'm saying. People done forgot. Fat iverson was a real problem as a scorer. Best most fluid scorer in his generation. I'm being serious. I dare say he was better in his prime than Kyrie since at least melo is a decent rebounder.
And that didn't get us anywhere. Before him it was starbury. Knicks fans need to stop chasing shiny object.
Kp, nitty , thjr and Baker. Can we just at least give it 2 years please. Let's be patient and build.

I think brehs need to state their stance on the goal.

Do you actually believe Kyrie's acquisition WILL mean a future championship within the next 5 years?

If not, do you actually believe Kyrie's acquisition will keep us competitive enough to provide enjoyable playoff series that'll leave lasting memories?

If not, then, do you believe that he'll be a piece that will be good to build around and the sacrifice of picks won't hurt the rebuild that will still be needed when he's here?

State your stance so brehs can't backtrack later.

I just need competitive ball. So, I want him, but I want Frank and I don't think we are being realistic about how other team offers will force is to give up the farm.

We do have the leverage in the sense that LeBron is not going to be okay with just young pieces. He wants another crack at the finals THIS YEAR.

So a Melo and incentives might be pressured to be taken by Bron if Melo is okay with it.

Melo can opt out next year too so even if LEbron leaves, he wouldn't be stick in Cleveland.

Fat Iverson never disappeared when it mattered the most. Kyrie went ghost in Bron in the finals. nikka showed up when the series was already over. Put current melo on the cavs last year and I bet they steal at least 2 games. Kyrie not on melo level, period. Melo confidence never waivers, kyrie was shook them first 2 games.
