No Prez, Kawhi has not been mentioned, but he can't be ignored or dismissed.  Max plus one is max plus one, and due diligence is due diligence.

But do you really trust "the inside dope" that KD is really interested in NYC?  It's along time until July...

Also Kyrie - he of the flat worlders - seems pretty skittery about how he feels on any given day...say the Celts make a deep run, then maybe Kyrie will decide - hey the earth is round and the navel is Beantown...

just saying - who knows what lurks in the hearts of men.....

Of course all will be forgiven if the FO actually manages to sign either KD or Kawhi plus one...

but who really believes this FO can pull that off?  Let's just hope Perry is not in a wheel chair with a huge collar around his neck when he meets with KD's handlers...

So, what do all who are mad at the Knicks for trading him think of this now?

KP can do one, as they say across the pond, for all I care.

Really hard to triangulate:  an incompetent FO (Baker & THJ contracts, muddying Frank's waters, or Franking Muds stamp on the team - either way too much redundancy too much), an evil brother Janis who clearly outgrew Riga, is very impressed with himself, and sees himself a player, and a young unicorn who is still very immature and like his brother very impressed with himself...

Does anyone really think the FO let the KP offer percolate and stew the required time to get the best offer?   On the one hand  threats were made about comfort and fit, but who really thinks a player coming of an ACL would really sign a QO and take on the risk?  The FO didn't have the moxie to call that bluff I guess...

Between the three of them communications must have been fraught, jumbled, and fuzzy at best.
And god knows where Dolan's hand was in all this - but it was somewhere...
A very typical Knicks CF...and in that regard nothing has changed...

Yup, I agree Prez...

the only small distinction I am making, is that Enes' political situation maybe broadly affecting his overall perspective on everything, and if he's tense, vulnerable, threatened, his sense and proportions as an NBA player are probably "off".  Not excusing it, just saying the guy is probably half out of his mind on any given day, wondering if his çorba and ekmek have been tainted - is that really so far out of the question...

Knick fan hero, and self-awareness master, Enes Kanter:

https://twitter.com/Schmeelk/status/1091547675403657216

I'm not going to defend Enes's Knick knocks - he was acted like a real jerk and far exceeded his "juice".  But I will just add this. I work in Turkey and have quite a number of liberal, progressive Turkish friends.  In 2007/8 there was this ill defined conspiracy "case" called Ergenekon.  The Ergenekon  case was very ill defined and hazy but it totally freaked out western oriented Turks and continues to do so up until now.  It was the first time the Gulanists came to the attention of the west.  It also was broadly defined as a case of a Turkish "Deep State." (Which ultimately has become part of the far right code in the US and elsewhere in the West).

Kanter has staked out a very dangerous political position (and can't return to Turkey as long as Erdogan and the AKP are in power).  This all to say, that in may way Enes is living in a different and dangerous world in which he is under a lot of stress.

jes sayin'....

7'3" guys in the NBA

Nevitt
Eaton
Sampson
Smits
Sabonis
Ming
Ilguaskus
Porsingis

Only Eaton stayed healthy for a decade

5 years 130 million was what KP was going to get this summer.

We *may have* dodged a potential bullet.

Not to smitpick but Smits was pretty sturdy and  durable, 3 out of 12 seasons with less than 70 games...

Of course this was in the works, if the Mavs pick this conveys to ATL then Knicks looking at 2021 & 23, what a typical Knicks move...dumb all over a little ugly on the side, but in this case coyote ugly on the side

Time for Kiid to regale onwhat a great job laydumb did....and sadly Laydumb is looking better by the year

talk about pushing the pace...radical surgery...immediate impression - whiplash and bad mojo...
what year is the first rounder?

I am guessing 2020.  No protection.

no protection - really nails it to describe the Knicks and their fans...
