So now that we have all that cap space......who's going to come here?

A real question.

Francessa:  Why WOULDNT Durant come here?  He could choose the second guy.

So....what do we do if DeAndre shows up and kicks ass?

I don't think this FO makes this trade without feeling like they have a good shot at Kevin Durant.

Enes Kanter came out recently saying someone mindblowing would sign here but he can't reveal who it is.

Who else could he be talking about?  Kevin is his former teammate.

Sure. Get me dreaming like that.

talk about pushing the pace...radical surgery...immediate impression - whiplash and bad mojo...
what year is the first rounder?

I am guessing 2020.  No protection.

Trying to be the youngest team in the league again and again

Hearing now that KP would not stay with Pelicans, which nixed a Davis deal.

This is a pretty good piece with the usual suspects.

"The dream, for the Knicks, is mostly like luring Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving away from the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics, respectively. The joke, for everyone familiar with the Knicks, is that they will end up spending north of $60 million on borderline stars like Tobias Harris and Eric Bledsoe."

I really would have to consider Nage's exit plan if that is what came to pass.

Smith also has LeBron James in his corner because the four-time MVP mentored him in high school. James made waves last year when he said the Knicks drafted the wrong point guard.

“The Knicks passed on a really good one, and Dallas got the diamond in the rough,” James said in November 2017. “He should be a Knick. That’s going to make some headlines, but he should be a Knick. Dallas is definitely, I know they’re excited that he didn’t go there.

Why do the trade today and not wait to see if there are any better offers?

My guess is Knicks already put out feelers about KP already. In fact, that's being reported, or at least that they contacted Dallas days ago, as there's been inclinations KP was lukewarm about staying.

Can't believe I'm saying this but he can go for all I care now, and I loved him. I just didn't feel he had his heart in being here, seemed impatient.

How many teams can offer that much in ending contracts? Knicks probably also didn't want a circus after the rumors came out about the meeting and MUST have strong belief that they can get Kyrie and KD. Also suspect we have a strong probability we will be trading our pick as well, especially if it drops out of the top 3.

We are getting 2 future 1st rounders btw, per Michael Kay.

I actually think this was the right move given what's going on. Again, hearing SAS saying exactly how I feel. He didn't want to be here, so goodbye.

Maybe this was the best deal out there.  The picks help.  DSJ and Cap Space for KP wasn't enough. 

Now those picks become trade assets as well.

It's not just Kevin or bust.  We can do sign and trades of RFAs as well now.

SAS saying he's hearing Kyrie is not so keen on staying in Boston and idea of staying is a "smokescreen."

Saying Ainge also more into AD than giving Kyrie a max deal.

LOL, impatient. He'd endured 4 years of the deepest kind of crap including a pilot's-eye view of 50 games of Fiz. Patience of a saint is more accurate.

Rick Carlisle & Mark Cuban or Wizdale & Dolan. I'd say he did just fine for himself as well he should have.
