With the recent comments from Kyrie, do you think NY would go for a trade of:

New York Knicks
Kyrie Irving (He agrees long-term)

Boston Celtics
NYK Lotto Pick (Unprotected)

Thoughts?

Kyrie is a expiring contract so I don't see why they trade for him

Why would they do that? They can just sign him outright without giving up any assets.

I'd hate to trade Kyrie, but if Ainge knows he's leaving, send him to BKN for Russell.

BKN in: Irving, Morris, Bird

BOS in
: Russell, Crabbe, Musa

BKN can then re-sign Irving and chase Durant or Butler. We build around Russel, Tatum, Smart and Brown

Very risky if the pick is not number 1.

I like Russell. I like this trade.

Makes no sense.

Boston knows if they trade for AD they're keeping Kyrie.

NYK knows Kyrie only joins them if Boston strikes out on AD and they're able to entice another big name as well.

NYK knows that enticing another big name probably requires getting an exciting player in the draft or using that pick to trade for somebody exciting.

Kyrie is a expiring contract so I don't see why they trade for him

they would have his rights, which would allow them to sign free agents up to their cap, then go over it to sign Kyrie.

Would allow them 3 max free agents and go into the tax.

That's not how that works. He'd have a cap hold which would take up space until he's resigned.

No. 

Why would the Celtics make a panic trade that basically takes away their best path to titles?  (Trading for Davis while resigning Irving)

yup, but his caphold is much much less than what his salary will be.

I havent looked at the numbers, but i AM pretty certain it will allow for 2 max free agents, then resign Kyrie afterwards.

I don't think Kyrie knows whether he's staying or going.  He's keeping his options open and probably still trying to figure out whether he wants to stay with these teammates for the long haul.
