    The Knicks don’t have enough talent.

    This is why Tom should be the COY. No talent and a 4th seed team

    Good news for CP3 and the Suns, Scott Foster is not the ref. The Bad News is, the Lakers will not lose any more games.

    Knicks really have trouble scoring points. They need someone like CJ. He could be the #1 guard there and make life a lot easier on Randle.

    NY Knicks & fan's have had a decent season.
    Making the playoffs is a big deal for that franchise.

    Some thought Denver was folding last year, after being down to the Jazz 3-1.

    What’s more impressive? 4th in the east with their situation, or us missing our 2nd and 3rd best player the majority of the season, having the worst defense in the league and finishing basically tied for 5th in the WEST!

    Do we want to play Lakers with injured AD or Suns with injured Paul?

    I’ve thought about a deal that sends CJ to NY but I struggle to come up with a trade scenario that seems like it would be equal compensation. Like is CJ for Robinson, 2021 #21, and a lotto-protected 2023 pick enough for the Blazers? Is it too much? Not really sure.

    The knicks don’t have anyone worth looking at besides Robinson and Toppin (I assume Barrett and Randle are off limits) but splitting the CJ cap between Dragic and Porter Jr instantly makes us a lot better in my opinion.

    Dame/Powell/Porter Jr/Covington/Nurkic
    Dragic/Simons/Little/_____/Robinson

    With Robinson, I don’t think I’d mind having Melo stay for another year and picking a guy with #21 that can maybe play backup minutes in Melo’s place the following season. Maybe Jalen Johnson can be had on draft night at #21.

    But if stars begin to demand trades, I don’t see the Knicks being interested if there are better players than CJ out there.
