So, no, really, you draft me in the first round, then pay me.
What is the alt-univ? The Knicks talk to Dadiet and tell him they'll draft him FR and then stash him and then .... ??? confused ..... wft is the endgame for Dadiet there, even in terms of guaranteed money,
The long and the short of this is that the Knicks FO is completely untrustworthy and players should have that in mind when dealing with them.
I don't think the Knicks harmed TJ Warren. They gave him an opportunity in the G League. Although he was balling, he also missed a lot of games due to injuries. In addition to that, the Knicks did not hold him in the G League. Any team could have signed him while he was playing in G-League. Okeke, who was in the same situation, has played some games for the Sixers and for the Cavs.
I don't think it's illegal for the Knicks to stash Dadiet against his will indefinitely. It would be just stupid because they invested an FRP in him and eventually another NBA team would want to trade for his rights (if he is playing well overseas).
As far as I know, Dadiet could only threaten the Knicks to sign a long contract without any NBA clause, making the Knicks pay some money if they want him.
I think the Knicks agreed to give him a roster spot to avoid burning bridges with the agents.
