3 different trades that could send Kyrie Irving to the New York Knicks

Trade #1: The Suns as the third team

This trade is just one of the three. All three involve the Knicks shipping away their No. 8 pick Frank Ntilikina.

Bledsoe and Anthony, who would easily replace the scoring load of Irving, could dominate for Cleveland. Cleveland is losing much more than just Kyrie here, but both Iman Shumpert and Channing Frye either disappear or are seldom used against the Warriors in the Finals. Frye was a DNP is four of the five Finals’ games, so if the goal is beating the Warriors, he might go especially with his high salary. Bledsoe and Anthony both averaged over 20 points per game. The scoring should balance out, and building a super team while shipping Kyrie should be a priority for Cleveland.

For both the Knicks and Suns, it is obvious why they would do it. The Knicks rid themselves of Carmelo Anthony while obtaining one of the best point guards in the NBA. The Suns, on the other hand, flip one of the league’s better point guards for a up-and-coming star to lead their unproven and young team.

Bledsoe has also been working out with LeBron, so this trade could be a sure thing if each party is intrigued by the offer. In my opinion, this is one of the most complete and thought out trades, so in the comments tell me what you think about trade #1.
