In late July, Pablo Torre of ESPN reported that Kyrie Irving wanted “badly” to join the Ne York Knickerbockers. In typical New York fashion, our passionate fans lept to Twitter and social media posting pictures of the NBA All-Star guard in a Knicks uniform. While this flashy move may keep the Knicks relevant and improve their win total from last season, it’s not the right move.
In order to truly service a talent like Irving, New York needs the proper management, culture and coaching in place to win at a high level.
