Are Starbury and Kyrie two boats passing in the night, or on the same boat asking for a trade to another boat. Both amazing talents, but when you look back on their careers, they didn't make as much of them as they could have. Now that I think of it, the Grant Hill and Derrick Rose parallel universe works too.
With all the talk of including RJ in this trade, I have a question. If an organization as miserably run as the NYK have been over the last 20 plus years came to the Knicks and said we will give you our 2027 and 2029 unprotected firsts for RJ, would you do it ?

Always a great read! Interesting, traded for Gobert while possibly flipping Towns to recoup capital and anoint Edwards as the rightful king. Very GoT of you. W/o actually looking myself, no Starbury or Jimmy Butler on this list of traded youngsters? Alternate question, who are the young talents not to have made any all star squads in their mid twenties, but made multiple times after being traded? Could RJ or Obi lead that list one day? Last thing, Mourning didn't make it til 28?! Shows the strength of the position during his time.
The Knicks had their chance to draft a star multiple times when they had high draft picks and just kept whiffing. Donovan, SGA, Mikal Bridges, D. Garland, Desmond Bane, on and on. Leon has done a good job overhauling front office talent. He needs to fix his talent evaluation team and he needs to hire an elite shooting coach for this team.

Would Lamelo Ball be an option?
