I am not so sure this is a wise decision for the franchise, but I get sticking to the decision IF this is indeed the case.

The alternative is not signing a guy who we had a wink wink deal with, and running the risk of future FA's not trusting the organization.

Tough spot to be in, especially when you are trying to strengthen the way the organization is viewed by players. I am sure if this is the case, we were more sick than GS when the injury took place.... and they had a ring on the line.

EDITED TO ADD: Hi Shamgod.... :D

That’s what I said when he got injured, we had some sort of agreement, we’re gonna stick to it, it looks bad on us if we go back on it even with an injury like that.

But whatever the franchise decides, they decide. Tough decision glad I’m not in their position.

They seem to be getting early meetings with both. No fiction there.

Translation: Dolan feels like a moron and is backtracking on his predictions


to be fair, don't you want due diligence? who had the crystal ball to know KD would be in this situation?

As a rational sane human of course I’d want diligence. So would all 30 nba teams.

The point is, Dolan is getting quoted publicly about it. This means he thinks Durant is signing elsewhere and is now trying to save face.


Yeah my first thoughts were this was preemptive damage control because KD already has told them thanks but no thanks.

If Kawhi and KD meet with the KNICKS before anyone else, that's a helluva sign.

That’s a big sign. Even if we don’t get them. We were legit options. However we have something up our sleeves.
