OK - as a Knick fan - how much should or would we give up to get Kyrie and not kill the future.

1. A package centered around Melo - I would give up Melo, Frank N (don't really need him w Kyrie on-board), and another decent non-critical piece - maybe Lee or O'Quinn. Take back some salary from whoever Cleveland wants to dump as long as it isn't long term. No draft picks in this deal. Supposedly Melo won't go cause everybody knows Lebron is gone after this season. Melo & LeBron have wanted to play together for a very long time. If Melo went to Cleveland & things went well, who is to say that LeBron would definitely be outta there ?

2. Without including Melo it is hard to see any package that might be appealing to Cleveland and also that does not totally mortgage the future. You only risk mortgaging the future if you are one piece from a title, not one piece from playoff contention.

I am OK getting Kyrie at the right price, but I am sick & tired of Knicks over-paying & mortgaging the future. If we don't get Kyrie, I am OK with that.
