Dear God...
No
Chip, you are alarming me. Is this based on any rumor, comments, facts... or just plain speculation?
I understand very well why the Nyets would love to dump him on some suckers. By why, o why, would the Knicks bite?
This moving of tectonic plates is based in part on reports that the Nyets and Irving have not come to an understanding about an extension, and that Kyrie has not picked up his option.
If he opted out, Kyrie would be an unrestricted free agent and the Nyets would be utterly fucked.
My regard for his level of command knows no bounds, as his game is simply out of Earth Orbit.
Alas, so is his ego and self regard.
He bailed on LeBron and a dynasty in Cleveland, much as Durant did with Golden State.
He wanted to be a Celtic and Ainge gave up a King's Ransom to bring him on board.
Went to the EC Finals in his first season, losing, ironically, to LeBron's Cavs in 7 games.
Kyrie left after his second season, having sworn fealty to Boston, bailing on yet another top tier contender.
And like a fine piece of China, he is subject to breakage.
In ELEVEN SEASONS, the 30 year old Irving has played: 51, 59, 71, 75, 53, 72, 60, 67, 20, 54 and 29 games respectively.
Obviously last season's second least career tally of 29 games was a matter of bailing on his team.
Peter Vescey used to mock Joe Barry Carroll by referring to him as Joe Barely Cares.
Kyrie? With apologies an earlier Irving, who set the hearts and minds of New Yorkers ablaze, WASHINGTON IRVING.
