1. Durant is not going to NY. Leonard is not going to NY.
2. I think the Pelicans are holding out for Boston and Boston only in the AD deal.
3. Kyrie is not going to NY by himself. That would be pointless and he would have worse talent if he would have stayed in Cleveland. No Durant or Leonard means a second tier max player would be the Knicks target. Not nearly enough to turn that franchise around.
Boston can give Kyrie the most money. Boston has the most talent to put around him for a long run. This rumor is just all Rich Paul to muddy the waters and create doubt about the Cs.
I think a lot depends on the next week.
If AD stays put, I think we get him and keep Kyrie. If he makes his way to the Lakers, I could see Kyrie and KD in NY.
I'm now convinced there won't be a trade. The 2 best potential offers- Boston and NYK both need until the offseason (Boston for the Rose Rule and NYK to see where the pick lands).
The Pels weren't moving too fast before this KP trade and now that 2 offers could both be way better than LA, I really don't see a deal happening.
