Stephen A. Smith reports that Knicks owner James Dolan wants to see Kevin Durant's medical records before offering him a max contract.
Unfortunately Knix are tempted,
What a stupid team.
Think I'll put on my Amare jersey and stop by Dolan's penthouse.
How many broken down aging stars/saviors have Knix signed in the last 2 decades: McGrady, Marbury, Steve Francis, Penny, Amare, McDyess, Derrick Rose, Baron Davis, Jason "The Exception" Kidd, Noah, etc.
You can argue that Durant is better than them, but he's also more broken down. At least Melo we got in his prime. Though it took a lot of assets. And then we re-signed him on a gold-plated 5 year deal when he was aging.
I think it's 50/50 the Knix sign KD to a max deal.
Probably dumb enough to make it a 5 year max.
He's already hobbling around NYC with a grin.
Or if BKY signs him, Knix will probably pivot to Boogie on a one year deal.
It's about selling tickets to out-of-towners and providing false hope. that's what business the Knix are in . . .
