Define "big name"It's going to be a stretch for them to get 2 big name UFA's. It's possible they get one of Durant or Irving and then they'll have to trade Barrett+ for AD to have a pair of superstars. Considering how much of a gongshow the Knicks have been, they'll have a hard time selling prospective UFAs. Trading for AD would be a good first step.
Is Kemba Walker big name?
Or Kyrie Irving?
Tobias Harris?
Because those three would definetly play for the Knicks.
Anthony Davis is elite but Barrett himself may become a superstar. He may be a star or pretty good. Knicks gave up a lot of depth when they traded for Melo and I feel they should go another route.
If they get Durant than that is ideal but it doesn't mean they need to sign another superstar.
Eventually Davis will have to get paid max money anyways. It's not only giving up Barrett but additional assets like a second lottery pick.
If KD comes no doubt a guy like Irving or Walker will want to play for the Knicks.
If Durant doesn't sign with the Knicks that doesn't mean he didn't because we failed to land AD.
