Kanter is opting-in.

You can see he is not cut and slacked off on his conditioning. If he was looking for a deal he'd be in peak condition.

Some combination of Timmy, Lee and/or Lance?

MEM pick is a pipe dream bc we don't have cap space and they want to get rid of Parsons contract, not decrease it with taking on smaller contracts.

So name the team that wants to take on 48 million dollars in salary for the #4 pick.

I'm not sure there's a long list. Ok, looked it up. Probably about 8 teams, though like 4 of them are in the lottery. Lakers, Bulls and 76'ers with lots of room and potential motivations to move up. Lakers, obviously, seem to want to use the space on Lebron\Kawhi.

philly isn't in rebuilding mode anymore. so i would say just the bulls. but they're not taking timmy and you would probably have to move lee to a 3rd team. difficult.

He does look like he had a very Willy Summer. Yachting and extra helpings of Baba Ghanouj will do that to you

Better late than never

Unlike others, I believe he has legit talent so maybe he can still put together a solid career. Too bad he had to burn his Knicks bridge to learn his lesson. It cost us in terms of the plummet in his asset value which was once pretty high

I meant which teams have the cap space to take on Parsons and move to 4.

Philly wouldn't want to move up to 4? Probably not at the cost of cap space when they are at 10. Chicago though. That's probably who it will be. Probably draft Donic then. Too perfect.

yeah, that's what i'm saying. they're after the big free agents. they're not gonna make this deal on draft night and kill their chances at lebron or pg or whoever.

chicago seems like the most likely place.

It’s craxy to think this is what a modern day NBA tough guy look and acts like. Could you imagine a prime Dennis Rodman guarding him in the post phugging with his head like he used to with Alonzo or Shaq?? Lmao. I don’t think Kanter could score on the Worm.
Don’t ask me why I thought about that but again, NBA tough guys...they tweet.

Charles Oakley must be spinning in his grave.

I think Enes would sign a contract in the 3/$30M area to stay in NY.

Kanter/Noah
KP/Lance
LeBron//Bridges?/Dotson
Hardaway/Lee
Frank/Mudiay

That's better than the Cavs team this year for sure...

LeBron is never coming, but if it means bringing in a LeBron/Durant Kanter can be our Triston Thompson for all I care...

Update: Kanter seeking long term contract to feel more secure

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2781935-knicks-news-enes-kanter-seeks-long-term-contract-to-feel-more-secure

"Obviously, I want to be here. It's just that I would feel better and feel more secure and feel more comfortable if I signed [a contract for] multiple, two or three whatever, years," Kanter told Begley on Saturday. "Think about it. Next year, if you get hurt, then what? I know you can't worry about it, but it's always in the back of your head like, 'Man, if I get hurt, what's going to happen?'
....

Kanter hasn't revealed a decision—he has until June 29 to do so—but he has hinted that he'd like to opt out and re-sign with the Knicks as an unrestricted free agent.

"I didn't make any decisions in or out," Kanter told reporters in April. "When I say I want to make New York my home, there's no lie. I want to stay here long-term.

"I don't want to stay here one year and make a decision later. I want to stay here for long term. That's the decision with my agent. I told everybody I want to retire as a Knick. I understand it's a business, but I told everybody I want to make New York my home."

I know we've moved on but I'm legit concerned about what happened to Oak.
