Official 2019 NYK offseason thread. Brooklyn knick fans check in

[keko jones]

If Clev was able go get 2 second round picks for Rodney Hood, I'm certain we can get something more for Kanter, Jordan, or Matthew.

 

[ihust1e]

Someone please set this dude up to go back to Turkey

if they can get 21 savage they can def get this guy

 

[you go boy]

I respect players who meet with fans after the game for autographs and pictures. Kudos kanter.

still hope he rots on the bench until game 82

 

[Master Zik]

**** Kanter.

 

[don ramon]

really hope the team makes moves to unload kanter this week at the very least. maybe mudiay too

 

[ballinsam23]

Mans back at it again

Keep our name out of your mouth dumpster juice, you’re gone

Acting like such a female fr

Stay woke?
KP, you told Knicks management to their face you did not want to play here. What are you talking about?

I love what Knicks mgmt did and think we got a GREAT deal for a guy who cant stay on the court.

Thank you KP for the assist.

Arguably his greatest assist as a Knick came while he was injured.

 

[ballinsam23]

He might be the most hated ex Knick ever. Regardless if our plan works or not.

[sharpshooter718]

KP knows more than we do...

Knicks front office havent done anything to give them the benefit of the doubt...

All i know we'll sign 2 free agents who arent worth the max the max

KD and KI aint coming to the knicks to save us.. they'll come to the knicks to save their own legacies.. as of right now neither of them has any real reason to come here

 

[Air Pope]

Man **** KP

bro i know you've been beaten down into submission by the ghosts of knicks past, but you gotta be a little more positive

 

[Mark Antony]

**** KP but Knicks front office got a history. Would like to know if there was some behind the scenes *******.

 

[ballinsam23]

This is the first time we had this much flexibility in terms of young assets, a top pick, and 2 max slots. Reminds me of the Celtics before they got KG and Ray.

Either way I cant help but laugh at our FA signings over the years....

Nah.

I think we can all agree that we've seen this type of stuff coming from KP. Personally, I wasn't sure he was going to regisn longterm, and was actually leaning more toward him probably not resigning.

Consider how Phil's tenure ended. That whole period of drama rubbed him the wrong way, and he held onto that. I don't think he was coming back, and if you wait beyond this season and call KPs bluff on taking the QO, you could just end up with 1 year of KP for about $4.5 million coming into his first free agency and his first big contract. He would have been damn near untradeable if we waiting long enough and KP isn't bull****ting.

I have no reason to believe the story went any other way.

The Knicks had already been shopping him (we know they've been throwing him in deals for picks, cap room and stars since we realized what an asset he was). Dallas clearly wanted him most because of the Dirk connection and the idea of pairing him with Luka and continuing their international legacy. Mark Cuban clearly overpaid because of the ideal situation of having KP and Luka both pan out and how well their games seem to fit one another.

KP has dinner with Dirk and Luka probably after the Knicks had lost to the Mavs last Wednesday, then we're told he and his brother call for a meeting with the front office. We know KP hasn't been all here for a while, so I don't think it's shocking to anyone that he asks to be moved. The front office has already had deep talks with Dallas clearly, and I'm sure Dirk was relaying the information on how close to a deal they were to KP if he wasn't getting it from our front office.

If KP has some information that disputes that or makes the Knicks look bad, he should share it. Otherwise just keep your mouth shut and appreciate how you finessed a trade out of NY to the team of your choice.

With that said, the cap room might be enough for me to let go of a 7'3 athlectic center coming off an ACL tear. That injury really isn't a joke, especially when you think about how he plays and how important pushing off and cutting is for him with that big frame. We got the cap room and a young lottery pick that has a ton of potential as a sparkplug and maybe even a scoring PG.

Then on top of all that we grabbed two picks. One unprotected and one top 10 protected. This wasn't a bad deal for us at all. That's the type of **** we used to trade away for an injured star who could never fully recover.

Feel much better about the trade after sleeping on it for the weekend.

 

[nick.]

If it would have cost a first round pick to move Lee, it would've cost at least a first + two seconds to move THJr.

Net gain of 5-6 draft picks.

 

[ihust1e]

tuning in for the kp press conference

 

[ballinsam23]

I wish there was a way we could flip Knox, Frank or DSJ, Mudiay, both Dallas picks for AD.

If we can do w.e but somehow keep this years pick that would be nuts.

Still shocked the Pelicans declined an offer surrounding KP for AD. They coulda moved KP for w.e package Boston or LA is offering them imo.

 

[Master Zik]

Mans back at it again

I like as long ad the first rounders are 2020.

Oh wait this id ******* Robert Randolph? This skne bull **** then

the hate for KP will detrone our hatred for Riley

 

[naijaboy]

This Free agency period will be a real test to see if Dolan is truly out of basketball ops and if the front office is sticking to their word. if we strike out with the 3 true superstars we should sign players to deals similar to Jabari's in Chicago or pick up DJs deal to mentor Mitch for another year.

 

[ballinsam23]

anyone have a link to this press conference?
