Agreed, how many top picks are wasted year after year around the league to find a prospect like KP? And while that's probably why NY should never do it, stranger things have happened.Ring_Wanted wrote:I have no problem giving up that much, just like I had no problem throwing the farm at the Freak before he was what he is now. Makeit Chriss and Bender, even. Anything but Booker. You pair Booker and Kristaps and you have the fundation to contend for the next 12 years. No quantity beats that quality.
The only chance I see, is that patience is non-existant in NY, both around the fanbase and the Front Office. So, if they somehow mend the fence with Melo, and decide to reload around him, one more time, the combination of picks and veterans we could provide while taking their awful contracts to match, could entice Phil to be competitive now, and rebuild in the fly... just like we have failed to do all this years. If we land Top 2, Ball/Fultz is already a strong starting point.
