    Kyrie has no leverage to make this kind of demand.

    If this is the case, what "star" can we go after given our current situation, realistically?

    What isn't old is the forming of COMPLETE SUPERTEAMS. Bad for the NBA, but we have a great team, and the means to upgrade even more, becoming one ourselves.. and beat these guys.

    Irving is going to end up as an overpaid Melo in NY, you read it here first.

    I don't think Butler is interested to play next to Lebron. If he's traded there it will be beautiful oh so beautiful.
    I can bet that there will be many fireworks. Lance, RONDO, Butler ...<3

    Honestly, if I was a young superstar FA to be, I'd consider the East. Even though Philly and Boston are on the come-up, there is a definite LeBron-shaped void.

    Like that article states, a team-up of Porzingis, Butler and Irving would be really good, and could contend for the East's spot in the Finals.

    We aren’t getting him this season, we need to focus on clearing as much space as possible for butler next year.

    I don’t think it’s possible unless we clear everyone and Clint doesn’t get as much as we are projecting, but if we have to endure one year of pain to gain Jim next year through FA, so be it.

    It's really cruel to get Knicks' fans' hopes up like that.

    Why not? You don’t think leaving at the end of the season is leverage?
