Here’s a hint - future with Knicks, bleak at best.

Shhhhh!!!
As a Knicks fan, I obviously have to agree. As long as Dolan is the owner, we are screwed. But that doesn't mean that having Kemba here wouldn't make it more enjoyable for me...

And probably mean he'd make a lot more UConn appearances at games and on campus.

I've sorta hoped the last few years that when Jalen decided to go into the draft, that the Knicks would draft him and sign Kemba. Two UConn guards lighting up the Garden could be a thing to watch. Would be a nice with those two, Ntilikina and Porzingis. Now if they sign Kyrie and possibly par him with Jalen would also work out.

I do not think Kyrie is a tier 1 superstar that is one of the 10 best players in the NBA, and I am not sure he is even Top 20. I also think he has benefitted from playing for really good teams the last few years that we're really good even when Kyrie was out hurt.

Kyrie isn’t one of the 20 best players in the league. Wow.

Kyrie’s health is the only issue that keeps him from the top ten but he’s probably still there or close. He may be the most dynamic shot maker in the league. As a Knicks fan I’ll take him in a heartbeat along with Jimmy Bulter next year. Pair them with a KP and KK and the Knicks finally have a competive squad. Robinson is going to be a good player also.

One of the most puzzling things I have read
He is not in the top 4 pt guards or 8 guards in the league? - that's a laugh
Is he the best? I can't say he is but all around guard game and skills - I would put him up there in top 4 guards in the league

Kyrie is a mediocre defender for a starting NBA point guard, and he is a ball hog. He requires a lot of isolations, and it grinds the offense down. The Celtics didn't miss a beat last spring when Irving went down. Take any other playoff team, remove their best player, and then think about what would have happened. Take Oladipo off the Pacers or Antetekuomnpo off the Bucks or Embiid off the 76ers, and those teams would have been swept in the first round.
Kyrie is fun to watch. He has great 1-on-1 breakdown moves, and finishes as well as just about any player in the league. He is also a solid shooter. He is not one of the 10 best players in the league, and is probably not one of the 20 best either.
