Dear Kyrie:<\/p>\n

!You need to come to the knicks. Come to the knicks man<\/p>\n

I've fell into this black hole around the time you were born\u2026 through patrick ewing, john starks, Charles Oakley \u2026 with larry Johnson's nailing the and one three, Anthony mason tanking his way coast to coast and Hubert davis swishing threes.I remember doc rivers image when he spits his tooth on the floor, I remember the blood, the spirit \u2013 the knicks.<\/p>\n

I remember ewing's finghell roll and layup smith, god dam. Remember being a crushed kid fan every time we screwed (just as I settled myself along the years with the recognition that it wasn't a fair fight, because you couldn\u2019t win against him..)<\/p>\n

Want you to come to the knicks and wake the sleeping giant, harness the endless power of the city and the knicks frustrated fans around the world. But why you? Why am I calling it so loud and clear<\/p>\n

It's pretty simple it seems\u2026 premium point guard, full package offensively, clutch ring on the finger and only 25\u2026 make sense<\/p>\n

But again, why you? Why for you that is..? what do you have to look for in this mad house, in this graveyard? Players have come and go, gm's and coaches went by – no savior to find; the management makes great efforts to sign the worst deals, which is the most rock solid and consistent thing you can count on in the last eternity.<\/p>\n

You should come because you are ready. Ready for the adventure \u2013 ready for the challenge \u2013 ready for the moment.<\/p>\n

Because you are only 25, but playing for 6 years in the league. Because you've had your own franchise to get to greatness and it was taken away before you got to do it. Because you paid your tuition in those moments where the money is on the table (with the curtesy of LBJ, nothing taken away from him).<\/p>\n

Because now it's your time to step forward one more step and pursue<\/span><\/span><\/span> your full figure dream. You can do it with us. What's greater than taking an all disappointing franchise and getting him to the top? Doing it in the greatest city in the world, on the greatest MSG stage.
\nSure, it a gamble \u2013 life is. There were sure a lot more failures than success story here, but isn't that what it's all about? Wasn't that how your basketball childhood fantasy looked like? Being a professional athlete is about making dreams come true, about fulfillment.<\/p>\n

Embrace the opportunity and be all you can be with us. With the knicks
\nNow for you, dear management. Take three deep breathes and try to believe my words<\/p>\n

It's not all lost guys. Not talking about a distanced future, but the present, starting now<\/p>\n

We've got good talent on the squad, with k.p, hernangomez, kus\u2026 maybe your vision can come true as well, in a miraculous way, and T.H.J's and J.N's will become their dad's like sportsman and prove their contracts worthy.
\nWe've got the right age in the right spots and need a maestro point guard to unite and lead them.<\/p>\n

Please, sit with Carmelo in a quiet office, call Lebron james on a video chat, show them a picture of their banana team and explain reality as is:<\/p>\n

Melo will not stay in New York; it's just the point in time where he can leave without us being angry, of him either staying or<\/p>\n

leaving,.which I'm not sure will be the case next year
\nLebron is losing a major ace in his squad and system, and needs to regroup and come up with new strategy. Considering his situation that includes him may leaving at the end of the season, he'll need to gamble and bet on something. Carmelo Anthony is a good bet for Lebron James 2017\/18.<\/p>\n

Come to New York, come to the knicks \u2013 create history with us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Tnx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
