IR: Kevin Durant

what are RoLo, Markief and George Hill's salaries?

Markief for 5M, George for Room Exception and ROlo for Vet Minimum?

I think ROlo could do better then that elsewhere

More signs pointing to why this would be a bad idea. His manager would probably be wise to steer him away from the Knicks. The honeymoon only lasts for a short period of time and if he is worried about his image the last thing he should be doing is inking a deal to play for the Knicks while recovering from that type of injury. We all know how ugly things can get. This is a bad idea

yeah thats signs why he should pick the knicks and not the nets.

Lol been telling myself, man it's a business we're going in the right direction, even if we strike out and no KD i'll be fine....

But about 5 minutes ago I was scrolling on facebook and see a post that KD was signing wit the Clippers and my heart dropped and I instantly felt salty, and come to find out its a fake news photoshop.....

After all that time of me telling myself I wouldn't get upset, I still did anyways and honestly I blame yall LMAOOOOO

The guys live in a bubble. The same thing happened to lebron bc of how he handled the decision

People FORGET that first season with the heat lebron was booed at EVERY away game

I don't even get the "his own city" part. KD is not from NY or SF, so I read it with little connect

If he were a Net, he'd be a villain in his own city.

The hate will be epic.
Knicks at Barclay; Kyrie booed into submission.
He will be flattened.

ive always had the injury with him but what really scars me is he's in his own world and thats not conducive to wining on a team...

He's a space cadet

I like space cadets, but not self-entitled stars who play like selfish dickheads who would dictate the culture of MY DAMN TEAM

He can take his helium-filled bird brain and go inject his infected plasma into another franchise, thanks very much

Melo was bad. Kyrie actually has the potential to be even worse. That's almost impossible to achieve, but there I said it

they mean if he joined the nets -he would be hated by the majority: knick fans in ny...

So ............ KD & Kyrie on the Nets would be beyond epic

Websters would have to find a new word for Trolling to describe what those guys would experience

Nah bro, he's setting himself up to be a poison pill contract with the Knicks. All that pressure on him? If he was healthy then I say take on the challenge, but he's got a tall order ahead of him. He inks a max deal with the Knicks, there will be no mercy shown to him after his recovery is over with. He is going to have to deliver and deliver big otherwise his legacy is only going to take a bigger hit if he fails. His rep took a minor hit when he went to GS but at least he was able to still win. Now picture him failing in NY. It's not just his rep but his legacy is on the line. He would be wise to just resign with GS and play it safe. At least until he's proven he can come back and contribute. Take a player option deal if he has to then walk out when he's ready. To do it now is risky and to come to the Knicks is even that more riskier

I'm not focusing on the Kleinman wanting him on the Knicks instead of Brooklyn part, I'm focusing on the KD is insecure about his image part

Nah, Hezi is on point here.

KD will get destroyed in NYC, ABSO-FUKKEN-LUTELY DESTROYED

How could this guy have played in the NBA this long and not already understand the Knicks own the hearts of New Yorkers?

How could KD be clueless to the reality that signing with the Nets would make him a villain?

OK, maybe these are fake rumors, but somehow I'm guessing they're actually legit accounts and if that is the case KD is not made for NYC.

He'll suffer here, trust me on this (and I'd be nice because I actually kind of like him as a person even if I was rough on him this morning). But he'd be savaged here, completely emasculated

I got you. Your interpretation was solid.
