I can see it happening as well but it's so hard to put your cards on the table for a player signing with us two years from now. Does anyone believe this and think he should be our focus for two years from now??

He is my number one choice as PG
I've always thought there was a chance to get Westbrook.
I would make sure we have cap room and availability to make him a great pitch in 2017.
But we can't just sit around waiting for Westbrook. We have to push to keep getting better and better.
But, yeah, I could see him loving NYC with the fashion and passion for the game.
In 2017 with Bron, Wade, Melo, CP3 all nearing retirement or at least slowing down, Westbrook in NYC could be one of the brightest stars in the league.
Curry is a UFA that year as well. It's worth building a team with an opening at PG for 17/18.

Curry might be coming off a three peat in Golden State in 2017. He might be coming off three straight MVPs!! There is no way he's leaving that team.
Westbrook and Durant might split up because they can't win.
But Curry? He's never leaving, man!
I never believe this stuff...most guys seem to mention us, and few ever end up here.
Would rather not even think about it so I'm not disappointed when he signs elsewhere.
My mantra...think negative and you'll never be disappointed.
This has no chance. Either LA or OKC.
I think the KNicks have chances at both Batum(40-60%) and Derozan 30-40%) Batum would have to be max--but I think he can be better than what we have seen IF used as a 4 man with KP at 5 and NO Carmelo.
Westbrook no way.

You can put Westbrook on any team and he would automatically make that team a playoff team. He's unbelievable with what he does and can do.

Curry isn't leaving GS though.

You have ZERO idea of who will or would come here so you shouldn't say there's no chance. Derozan isn't leaving Toronto IMO and Batum isn't worth a max contract.

Free agency sometimes is about outbidding other teams for services. I feel if we put KP at 5 and Batum at 4 we have an all star.

you also have a team that can get pounded inside. Batum is a wing player. KP is about 2 years away from being able to take on the starting 5 spot

Batum is barely a 3. Putting him at the 4? Against Blake Griffin? No way man.

Batum at the 4?? Come on man. How the hellz is he gonna guard PF's??
Chris Webber, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Marc Gasol, Kevin Durant...
Who gives a shit, really. Everyone considers the Knicks for leverage until it's time to sign then they go elsewhere.
No one wants the pressure here, ask Deron Williams.

That's not always the case. KP wanted NY, even as a draft pick. Melo wanted NY. AA and RoLo wanted NY. I think attitudes are already changing among players regarding NY.
