It’s just weird that Knicks are working on back-channeling to Kawhi and leaking it to the media? Do you do that if Durant is coming?

Looks likely at this point.

Oh well, at least we will have a young team to root for and another high draft pick in 2020

Hard to believe what's unfolding here. Celtic fans are in full meltdown Kyrie pulling what KD did to OKC. Wonder if the Knicks go after Kemba.

From what I understand, they started back channeling Kawhi today. It’s weird

"You’re manipulating what they do after this and he didn’t."

I'm manipulating. ??? What does that mean, ffs?



He said they’re at 66 now

He said they can get up to 68 in his follow up tweets

They can get there. He didn’t say they couldn’t. You manipulated their roster moves after the number they are at now to show what they can get to.

I didn’t say you manipulated what he said.

The difference was 6 mil and 5 mil (closer to 4 if you don’t round up to 71)

Not 6 and 2.2 mil

From the 66 they’re at now

Read my numbers and weep.

do we include Lance Thomas's non-guaranteed $7.5m in our calculations of salary caps for the Knicks? Of course not.


Weep? :lol: over being factually correct? Cool story.

That’s where we can get to

I showed one way

You showed another way

At the end of the day, we both are saying they can easily get there

But keep having a panic attack b/c you don’t like the way something is presented even when factually correct.

Enjoy.

We’ll see if it’s damage control or if it’s legit. Maybe it is right now and won’t be come FA time.

Who knows with these fickle NBA players. :dontknow:

Maybe the KNICKS aren't the ones who leaked it. Besides, all it said was they expect to receive a meeting. That's the same for several teams.

I'm also lost on your point though.

You have a source and they told you we're getting Kawhi?

Or your source just said Kawhi will consider knicks?

Because if it's the latter then someone 'considering' us isn't new and doesn't matter to me if they don't sign here, which they likely won't.

Kawhis team not leaking it. Kawhis team has not even thought about free agency. Kawhi is uber focused on his current task at hand. But Knicks in the last day or so have been trying to find an in to his people

At this point it don’t really matter what I say. Just let chit play out. Believe in yourself, if not others.

I would think the whole reason any athlete has a "team" is so that they can manage his career while he's winning games.

I'd highly doubt that they have not thought about it at all in any capacity.

2010 said we've been targeting Kawhi for weeks though and called that the media would start reporting it soon. You're saying we just pushed for him today.
