ok so word is cavs want this trade. Knicks "reportedly" aren't interested but really it wouldn't be a bad of a move at all
For the Knicks they'd just be giving up is some defense and shot blocking.
Knicks would get an elite scorer to replace any thing kristaps could bring next season at his best.
Plus combine Combine Melo
with another elite scorer would be
More Importantly, Knicks backcourt would be finally set.
Adding kyrie with their existing options at the 1-2 would make Knicks backcourt very deep and (considering frank Ntilikina stays and pans out) very versatile.
Frank can play 1-2. He looks to be a good shooter. He'll be a good defender either position.
Kyrie is really a 2. But he can play make just off breaking down the defense.
T Hardaway can get buckets at 2-3 position slashing and just coming off the bench I guess
Courtney Lee is solid shooter and defender starter. But they could always trade him for a nicer piece they need
AND they have that new draft pick who's jumper was WET in summer league who could develop into something
And they still got sessions as a vet and the white guy as a nice potential back up PG.
All the Knicks would need to find is a decent stretch 4-5 who can rebound and block shots (Which shouldn't be hard in today's NBA) and they're legit contenders in 1-2 years especially in the east (after Lebron leaves)
The other option is wait on Kristaps to become the man, rebuild around him over the next 3-5 years and the young core backcourt and send Melo to the bushes
If you were Knicks GM What would you do?

Kyrie is nice but nah I'd rather he wait the year and just come through without gutting us if he wants to come here so badly. No more gutting trades
