KP HAS TO play for a minimum of a few months to:
a) Shake the rust off and get his game back
b) Show prospective free agents he's returned to old form and that the KNICKS and KP are worth taking a chance on.
Playing him only a few games or a few weeks will only make him look rusty to FA's and will defeat the purpose.

Irregardless of what I want, he will play when he is ready.

Yeah and then he is forced to play in the playoffs as well. Not worth risky his health.
The best coarse of action is to sit him the entire season , and then let him play the final 7-10 games with some minute restrictions.
If we are in position for the playoffs, then those 7-10 games should be enough to get him into shape to be ready to play.
He can participate in team practices during the season, but he’s not playing before or even just after the all star break. He sits for a minimum of 70-72 games this season. That would be the smart thing to do.

Those rocket surgeons have it tougher than brain surgeons, performing surgeries while on a rocket and all.
KP should not be held out once he is ready. He is still developing and can use the game play.
That's the joke

IRregardless of that, the people who think they’re holding out KP if he’s ready are kidding themselves.

I went with 7-9 but the number to me is more like 15
I want him to show free agents that he’s back to superstar form
That way when we draft at 5 and have Max cap space we can maximize both without mystery surrounding kps status

Why don't we just wait until the doctors say he is ready to play. Whether that is Xmas or after the all star break or next season

There will be external influences
If playoffs aren’t a focus and if he’s getting advice to come back for the final 20 games I think he will take it

#3 is really the right answer. Been saying it for awhile now.
A few minutes restriction games to showcase and we're good.

I'm waiting to see what the Knicks team of Rocket Surgeons and Brain Scientists come up with as far a recommendation.

You still haven't found a link suggesting that your paranoia is based in any reality, have you?

He doesn't need to prove anything. He can sit out the whole year, and all 30 teams would offer him a full max contract.

all due respect to the OP and everyone who posted, no one has enough information at this point to way past speak intelligently about when he should or should not come back, so this entire thread needs to stfu and gtfo
All in all he's just another prick with no wall
