NFT: SAS: 2016-2017 Knicks big 3...Melo/Durant/Kobe lol

DanMetroMan : 8/28/2015 4:27 pm

It's a long shot. But on ESPN First Take this morning, Stephen A. Smith suggested that it could happen. According to him, Carmelo has already started trying to recruit KD to come to New York City next summer when he becomes a free agent—and KD is reportedly considering it. Stephen A. also said that there are some NBA insiders who believe that, if the Lakers decide to part ways with Kobe after his current contract is up next summer, Kobe would also consider coming to NYC, especially if KD does.

I can't wait to hear who SAS thinks will come to the Knicks Â

in 2030. We'll probably hear about it every single year.

I am not going to say I dont want Kobe Â

robbieballs2003 : 8/28/2015 4:38 pm : link

But what kind of contract is he looking at? We dont have room for 2 max contracts so it would have to be for something cheap or we would have to trade which I doubt happens.

KD gets the max (obviously) and Kobe gets whatever is left?

Oh, Kobe would consider coming to new york Â

How lucky we are that new york would recieve the graces of 40 year old Kobe looking for one last sucker to pay him.

Sounds to me like SAS is trying to stay relevant Â

by continuing to make shit up

Maybe he can explain how Melo, Zinger and Durant fit together

Stephen A. ramping up the Durant rhetoric Â

bceagle05 : 8/28/2015 5:20 pm : link

so he can drop the hammer on Phil next summer, too, when Durant predictably stays in OKC.

I put no faith in free agency as a Knicks fan. Â

bceagle05 : 8/28/2015 5:23 pm : link

My only hope now is that the three prospects we drafted turn into good players, and we don't trade them for more washed up "names."

And only Â

1 ball?
Gonna be tough.

No faith in SAS nor NYK FA pull Â

ChaChing : 8/28/2015 5:38 pm : link

tho I like this summer's haul

But as far as FA - iirc there was an SI cover b4 MJ came back with him in a 'blank' jersey. It suggested that NYK & LAL were possible if not CHI. That's when I realized it's all BS rumor when it comes to NYK FA talk. Anything can happen esp these days, but it's still mostly media talking out of their ass for ratings

And yeah... Â

ChaChing : 8/28/2015 5:41 pm : link

how does a coach make that team work? Are they gonna still run the triangle? It'd be more fun than any year we've endured in the last few decades, but seriously

Who cares how you make it work? Â

Big Rick in FL : 8/28/2015 9:42 pm : link

If you can get KD then you find a way. He's a top 3 player in the NBA. Get rid of Melo if you really have to.

LOL.. this has been basically the last decade as a Knicks fan... Â

Rumor after rumor about future "big 3" 's that never come into fruition

If KD goes anywhere Â

It's back home to DC.

That team would be sick. Wall, Beal, Durant, Nene...then a real good set of role players in Gortat, Anderson, Blair, Neal, Dudley, even Gooden in spot duty. Also a real good defensive team. Not the definitive East #1 but a legit favorite

He's from the area, I think it's OKC or DC.
