NFT: NBA Major story- Kyrie Irving asks to be traded

Melo, Frank and two unprotected picks for Kyrie? That's excessive.

for Irving in that guess of a trade? No thanks.

Cleveland is stealing from both in that scenario.

Do we have any money to sign anybody or no? If we did sign someone now then is the earliest we could trade them?

From Simmons.

Way too much going out from NY and Phoenix.

There's no way on Earth I would trade what amounts to 3 consecutive 1's for Kyree. Then to trade Melo on top of that with basically no return for him????????????????????? HELL NO.

He's not giving up his option and he's not going to be stuck there when LeBron bounces.

Irving and KP together. That'd be fun.

But if he gets to the finals year 1 than is it worth it? Melos options are limited, and most scenarios are him not playing for a contender. Him going there for a year then either leaving the year after LeBron or forcing a trade after LeBron leaves are a realistic options.

I'd say going to Cleveland is very much in the cards.

And end up with Kyrie Irving...that would be amazing!

Ian Begley‏ @IanBegley
NYK, obviously, has strong interest in Kyrie. Wouldn't be willing to trade Porzingis at this point

Can't comment on Kyrie because of tampering

Fucking Michael Smith suggested Kyrie and Thompson for Melo and KP. Fuck him.




Ian Begley‏
@IanBegley

Knicks would consider trading Carmelo Anthony and future first rounders for Kyrie Irving.

With Irving...

PLEASE GOD.

"At this point"?????????? What would be the purpose if they were willing to trade him at any point?

I say make the trade, send Melo over there for a year as a spy, convince LBJ to come to the Knicks next year with Melo. LBJ, KP, Kyrie, and Melo = championship, haha.

So wait...

- we'd trade Melo & picks
- end up with Kyrie
- still have Frank

Hard to argue with that one.

KP.

Reiterates what he said at the press conference about Melo. "We're in communication with Carmelo and his group"

Perry has not met with James Dolan. PERIOD.


Wow

has yet to meet Dolan. Thought it was a little odd to not stick up for his boss when asked about the dysfunction centering around Dolan, but I guess that explains it. Hahaha

Have to give Kyrie all the credit in the world for wanting to play here w/all the BS. Most people wouldn't want the challenge.

?

Probably grew up a Knicks fan.

If the price on Kyrie includes 2 firsts, better off convincing Melo to stick and trying to lure LBJ here after the season (assuming Kyrie dealt elsewhere)?

Between now and then, you do whatever is needed to create the room by dumping Lee, KOQ, Lance, Noah.

Just a bat-shit crazy idea that occurred to me.

I worry that if you send 2 unprotected firsts along w Melo, you have a much better team right now, but do you have enough ammo to get over the hump to true contender in 2-3 years?

"Knicks" is so vague. "would consider" is so vague. "future first rounders" is decently vague.

Kyrie news broke 3 hours ago and suddenly the "Knicks" have a position/plan? Feels like made up a rumor with vague enough weasel words that you could never be disproven.

Allegedly Kyrie voiced his desire to be traded last week. Doesn't give any more legitimacy to that particular rumor, but there's likely been talks leading up to this.

How many times will we fall for it? Get our hopes up, only to have them come slamming down on us. I'll believe the Knicks can get Irvin without giving up KP right after it happens. Until then? It's not happening

NFT: Knicks trade for Kyrie would be very complicated
KingZ : 7:02 pm
I see the update has Heat, T-Wolves, Knicks, Spurs as preferred destinations.

Knicks would be over the cap, would need to make some pre-moves to accomadate his salary.

Cavs wouldn't be able to take back equal salary because they are way over cap.


Sign and trade with Rose would probably be for minimum.

Melo for Kyrie wouldn't work.


-Why would Phoenix help?

Not Irvin, lol

since we had to renounce his rights to sign Hardaway.

Possibly once Lebron leaves. Trade Lebron now? Lol!

Thanks!!but ok to re-sign Baker to new deal.

and Melo and Bledsoe are going to Cleveland, and Frank is going to Phoenix, I don't see why we need to be throwing first rounders Cleveland's way. Maybe one - with protection - in the next three years. We're contributing plenty.

They are way over it. Looks like less salary going out than coming in.

Knicks and Cavs would have to shed salary before doing a deal. KOQ, Noah, Lance...

They used their cap exception sign Baker.

I got you guys. That was just odd.

Should be enough to clear salary. Cavs trading Shump and Kyrie probably isn't enough for trade.

Cavs Trade: Kyrie Irving, Iman Shumpert, Channing Frye
Cavs Get: Eric Bledsoe, Carmelo Anthony

Suns Trade: Eric Bledsoe
Suns Get: Frank Ntilikina, Iman Shumpert

Knicks Trade: Frank Ntilikina, Carmelo Anthony
Knicks Get: Kyrie Irving, Channing Frye

But what I saw last yr, they can keep him.

Give up Melo Oquinn and hernangomez could be a good start obviously third team involvedbi would also give up a 1st rounder, kyrie is a stud although defensively he is terrible

you have to make the contracts work to get the trade done.

He's probably considering the likelihood that the Knicks will either trade those picks anyway on someone not worthy of them, or just blow them on bad players altogether.

Do you think there is a deal that Cleveland either comes out even or ahead? A year from now a team led by Love and Melo is going nowhere.

Haynes might be in the know but what does sign and trade do when Cleveland has the cap issues it has.

God only knows how far they'll go for Kyrie. Hold onto your pants.

Very interesting.
