Knicks holding Press Conference to Explain Stuff

[HarthorneWingo]

Ok, whatever.

I think he'll opt in and Kanter will opt out. He's from NY and Kanter loves NY!

Ha. But Kanter loves NY so he's opting in. You ain't getting rid of this avatar that soon buddy!

[Phish Tank]

Kanter will opt in and no, he won’t leave the US either

I was just mocking your logic. I love the avatar. I don't love the overpaid international fugitive who can't defend for 18 mil

Until Steve Mills is FIRED there is no reason to keep following this team.

fired by who? James Dolan?

[thebuzzardman]

WTF does this have to do with anything?

Hey, don't bash. And give up some love for LFT too.

And Stephon Marbury, and Mark Jackson, and Rod Strickland, and Lance Stephenson (he should be a Knick), and Metta World Peace (another one that got away)...

Yeah, but those players were actually good

I’m not sure, man. Kanter might be getting stupid minutes after KP and the trade deadline. This a contract year. He can cash out with these 15-15 nights on the regular.

Put yourself in Scott Perry’s shoes. What do you expect him to say? That were not going to compete? Man some of you fake out rage about every single thing. Don’t know if some are trolls or real Knicks fans.

To piggy back off what I said before, this is why I think the deal trading WHG for two likely high 2nd's will prove to be a very smart move by Perry in the long run. Then hours after I said it, this article was written:

Second-round picks and development: These are two elements that have taken on more importance and impact and are being seen and felt before the NBA trade deadline, which is Thursday at 3 p.m.

“Everybody wants to make a deal, but nobody wants to take back money or bad contracts. That’s the world we’re living in,” one Eastern Conference executive said. “Second-rounders have value. Either you draft with them or use them for something else.”

Second-round draft picks have become, as one NBA source labeled them, the “coin of the realm.”

When the Nets dealt Tyler Zeller on Monday, they received Rashad Vaughn and a second-rounder from the Bucks. It quickly was apparent the key part of the return for the Nets was the second-round pick.

“All these draft picks have increased financially. If you want to sell them, they’ve increased. If you can get fortunate and get somebody in the second round, it’s huge,” one general manager said, pointing out how development has become increasingly important for teams because second-rounders, though more desirable, don’t always hit.

“The percentage of second-round players making it [drafted] in the 50s is 5 to 10 percent. Then 20-25 percent in the 40s and it gets better in the 30s,” the GM said. “It’s still hard to hit on a second-round pick, but if you’re fortunate, great.”

Some feel the second-round pick will be the currency most teams try to employ by Thursday.

you'll be judging results and still have no way to gauge intent if there are no moves.

we can't as fans know what opportunities were present, unfortunately. we only know about the ones that get acted upon.

he can go places. just not to turkey or any countries with extradition relationships.

i bet he has that list as the background on his phone.

It’s 9:38...

FYI, turkey has suspended extradition with the US until we come up off of gulen.

if the US goes back on that, they might have to throw kanter into the deal too. dude might have to skip back to switzerland or something. could get real for the soldier.

at minimum he could have moved KOQ to the bucks since he's better than Zeller...so if he's not able to find a move for KOQ then he didn't act fast enough. That would be on him.

I'm tired of the it takes two to tango routine to be honest. Get proactive and do something. You sold low on WHG...so why not sell low on our vets if you have too.

how you know the bucks wanted to do that deal? that's not fair. it's assumed that was just on the table and the knicks were sleeping. we don't know what the bucks want and why, the relationships between the two front offices, etc. my only point is it can be deeper than all that. very easy to look at this like apples-to-apples.

tyler zeller got a cheaper deal and a cheap team option for next year. KO is in a walk year and will need to be paid.

that said, i thought about the bucks as a good trade partner too. but who the hell knows?

if we didn't sing that song every deadline...other teams making moves. We just need to be creative about it.

Like Faried for example...we should jump on that contract for acquiring a pick.

It's an inescapable reality. Just like (it should be) in dating

but what you are doing is giving the knicks front office the benefit of the doubt. I am not because past history shows Mills sucks monkey balls. So we both don't know but I will lean with Mills/Perry sucking until they prove otherwise...

that would be the case if we had capable management.

Just like dating if you are awkward, have no job, and don't make yourself presentable how do you ever plan on getting dates in the first place? You can complain you never get dates, but how about you get proactive and do something about it instead of saying oh well no one wanted to date me...
