I'm mad at KP. Fuck you dude.  You have nothing but boos coming.

I can be mad at the Knicks but I have no insight into if there were  better deals coming. 

I have to believe the Knicks did what was best for the Knicks.

Just like KP and his bro were only looking out for themselves.

KP posted a pic of him and Luka before posting a picture thanking the NY fans.

Boo this man.

This all day.

The player we all had to keep, less than 24 hours after being traded:

Right, I forgot. NO said they didn't want KP as well.

His injury record, and size, cannot be overlooked as a fear.

TBF, part of that is if he wants to resign, and NO's rep as an organization is arguably worse than the Knicks.

What team trades away their young franchise player for cap space?

I'd much sooner fire Perry/Mills than trade KZ for crapola.
Fizz too ...

He wanted to go and because of the injury concerns, and if he'll even re-sign, other teams may be proceeding with caution on his value.

Also, because of the AD thing, the Lakers and maybe some other teams who might have bitten, are waiting.

We reportedly offered him for AD, and they wouldn't take him. What does that say to you?

There's a picture of KP smiling since he's been traded?

My God! What an evil scum bucket!

Show me no more. You've shattered my faith in human beings.

Interestingly, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that if we end up with the #1 pick we won't actually have enough for 2 max contracts due to the cap hold for that slot.

We'd have to renounce IsoZo, sadly.


Or Frank.

I'll sign for that kind of problem.

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.

Show me no more. You've shattered my faith in human beings.

Are you a block of ice or a human being? Or perhaps a troll apparently trying to one up people instead of understanding reasons he could have played it a bit more kind to Knick fans?

Do you care about that at all? You know the ones that called him some kind of savior and found any possible way to make excuses, watching those comeback videos over the summer, and defending him profusely, some loudly against trading him as he didn't show the same interest back? How should they take it or we interpret that?

It feels like you don't give a care that a lot of our fans are very upset about this, or KP's messages through social media. I'm actually not as mad, but making a point that the guy didn't care about us as much as we did - to the point where he was not buying in NOW and wanted out - and that's part of the reason why we were right to trade him.

His first Twitter post shortly after the trade with a smirking emojie and video clip/gif joking with Doncic at his last game at MSG. Then an Instagram post saying, "The Truth will come out :)"

Then this image and story. All less than a day later. Fans deserve better than someone like him.

Sorry to know you have such low standards for how fans should be treated by someone who leaves and is loved so much. Melo, who didn't win jack got a standing O. You think KP will get that?

Hellz no. Hmmm...wonder why???

Actually...Eureka, you're best friends with KP and Kanter (It was you who went out of your way to defend that other false idol, right?)

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

It's a goddamn game. Yeah, I've got a passion for it, but I'm not making a villain of Kanter or imagining that an image of KP smiling or weeping means fuckall.

Everyone has an opinion why KP is gone. We'll know in the future, just like we'll know whether the trade doomed the franchise or saved it. Until then...I'll hang on to fantasies of an Irving-Duncan lineup or some such shit, but I'm not going to vilify anyone. These guys just play ball.

He couldn't move.  As durable as a guy who can't move can be.

By the way, listen to Alan Hahn, he said that KP and Enes were not friends and the Enes thing wasn't a factor.  KP even laughed when Enes kissed the court.

Hahn said he had tried to give Janis (the brother-agent) some advice about handling new york and not skipping the exit meeting with phil before he had won anything  and the brother kinda dismissed him as if he didn't know anything.
