If Kanter does get traded then i hope you know that will change a lot with this team and the way they're playing right now. He's a big reason why we're playing this well and KP seems to really like having him playing next to him so it could hurt more then just the on court stuff. The Knicks are actually in a pretty tricky spot when it comes to player personel starting with the Kanter contract and what we should do if he doesn't opt into that last year and that's if we don't trade him of course. Perry definitely has his work cut out for him with making the right decisions with players like Kanter and KOQ and making the right pick/picks in next years draft.
we got one of them good problems. a wealth of talent at a position where there is a league-wide dearth. unfortunately, we have to let one (maybe two) of them go. i'm thinking it's kanter. but that will hurt because he's on-pace to go on and be all-star caliber. KO would be a great backup for billy and could start in the meantime. also probably would cost less than kanter, which is key.
ugh. sucks.
Yeah it definitely sucks cause if i had to choose which center to keep long term and money didn't have anything to do with it then the choice is Kanter it's not even close for me. This comes back to the Noah contract is what's gonna hurt us most. If no Noah contract then we can sign Kanter to a new 4 year contract and still have money left to add another significant player at SF/Wing.
yeah. too bad noah broke down on us. we couldn't even flip him to a contender or something.
and i don't think there are any minutes left to "showcase" him enough. we're just eating that.
fortunately, we probably weren't spending much in the next couple years. and after next season he's at least an expiring.
time heals all wounds.
