Edwards/Cole/Melo and Barrett in the backcourt for the next 5-8 years or cp3 for 3?
Thats how I look at it.

CP3 most likely doesn’t take you out the hunt for maybe 2 of those 3. So the scenario is Edwards/Cole/Melo and Barrett (who wasted a whole season playing with no spacing and losing) or Cole/Melo and Barrett who spent a few months with CP learning the game and how to win games the right way.

We aren’t getting picks c’mon y’all

Then i don’t do it. It’s about the picks. You get CP to take them off OKCs hand. His contract is that bad. All his benefits are the icing on the cake, but you do it for the pick. I’d want 2 picks for Mook. 1 pick for Randle.

Stop overvaluing our players

We're not getting 2 picks for Mook, you'd need Randle to make a CP3 trade work and he's not getting a first rounder by himself. The only way you'd get a first round pick back for Randle is in a CP3 type trade.

That’s what i meant. Mook in a CP3 trade, I’d want 2 firsts cause he’s an expiring. Randle in one id want 1 pick.

We win tonight, trade for CP3

We lose tonight, trade for picks

I don’t get it, we gotta pick one narrative. Either NOBODY wants to play for the Knicks and we should get guys in here who can create a culture OR we should keep money open hoping for stars. How do we get shyt on for every option we take? CP3 isn’t the ideal trade recipient for Randle, but there isn’t that much out there guys. With these Contracts now a days, trades are gonna be harder to come by. It’s either trading Randle for CP or trading him for a guy like Batum who actually adds nothing to this team.

Cap space isnt just for stars. You can use it to take on contracts for picks, make RFA offers etc. Its about making the best use of it.

I wouldn't send both Mook and Randle in this trade....but if you did I could see getting 2 firsts. But you're not getting 2 firsts for just Mook and Portis (which is what it would take to make the trade).

cp3 doesn’t eliminate that. We’d still have about 20-25 million in cap space next season. Trading for CP only prevents us from doing the shyt we didn’t this off season.

If not CP3, what veteran all star point guard can we get? Can we get Devin Booker?

 

[nyknick]

We need a 2012-13 Jason Kidd leadership type of player on a two year contract at most. Not an injury prone guy making $40 million.

 

[Peter Popoff]

We need 2-way players and if we have to drop Morris to drop Randle, it's worth it. Randle has t-rex arms and is not a 2-way player. The rest of the team hustles on defense even Portis.

You don't have to drop Morris to drop Randle, you can achieve the same goal by pairing Randle with Portis and your choice of Elfrid, Trier, Ellington, etc

such as?

Edit: And Jason Kidd was injury prone and played his last game that season. CP3 is younger, better, and will last longer than Kidd did. Same benefits for a longer term. The benefits of Jason Kidd were only for the one season he was here. I'd like to reap rewards for long term
