Great analysis, but I’m one of the fans that doesn’t want to see history repeat its as far as the Melo trade scenario and respective outcome. Our current roster does not support a win now outcome. Adding Dame further depletes the team’s ability to compete for a championship considering what the team would need to give up in order to acquire him. Asa long time fan I’m not looking for a big time splash that will leave the cupboards bare…again. I’d much rather continue with a slower approach by developing our younger players. Let’s see how IQ has tweaked his game, RJ hopefully has worked on his shot as well. My point is the Knicks have to solidify themselves as a perennial playoff team before trying to attract a superstar caliber player. Right now the Knicks are an interesting story as an exciting young team with playoff hopes, and after this past season the future appears bright and promising. Let’s not lose sight of the road in front of us, looking to far ahead. Just a thought.

Great analysis, so much fun going down memory lane on these deals.
