Oh but now Dallas is saying the exact same thing and you haven’t heard a peep from this weird mofo.

We should’ve known since the beginning when he refused to work out with certain teams that he was going to be a problem and if he think he can pull these antics on Cuban he’s in for a rude awakening because Cuban will go out his way to destroy him

Rarely will a player go where their idol is. He's had comparisons to Dirk for awhile now. Good luck to living up to that.

Any twitter mention of KP not playing this season for the Mavs should be spammed with that 'running Melo' KP pic. :lol:

It was basically a idgaf. Then like I said on Friday he realized he was bird for it and then can back later and said “ thank you” but at that point no one cared.

If he would of said sorry New York fans it didn’t work out I love you or some chit like that like Melo it would of been fine. He fuqed up and learning Ny ain’t nun to play wit.



Basically. There would have been some hate cause thats natural in sports, but he 100% kicked off the firestorm he has been receiving all over social media.

Well he won't obviously. Dirk has taken the high route and KP has already lost orientation last summer.

Everyone’s should be concerned.

The trade is a good one and yes had we not signed Timmy maybe we get more but our power over the situation woulda lasted til exactly Thursday 3PM.
Cleveland got nothing for Lebron. Toronto got nothing for Bosh. The list goes on. The difference is those guys carried their franchises. And they didn’t have one tenth the sketchiness KP has, health and otherwise.

The stay woke thing is a bit insulting.
Like what, Dolan is a Trump guy?
Does he have a room in the garden where he tortures kittens? Is he really Cobra Commander?!
Cmon now

Good luck going forward but shut up.
You’ll regret walking away. Everybody else did.

Don't forget he got Mitch with the pick from the Melo trade. That's another feather in his cap.


I'm impressed with him. I don't like wasting last year with Jeff but, did he really have time for a coaching search with the Melo trade/Phil and Mills mistakes to deal with?

He gutted the team to the bone at this point. Like I have said, Kanter/Wes/DJ need to go. I know that's easier said than done. Wes should be the easiest to move. Cut Kanter immediately. No one is giving anything for him. Perry would have to work a miracle there. DJ...who needs a center with 20mil in expirings and a pick or whatever? That's gonna take work.

I'm no RealGM so...I won't post 10 team trades to show it's possible. :lol: I just have to trust Perry. It's been over a year and, so far, I'm fairly impressed.

How are the Knicks painting him as a bad guy. The ONLY thing the Knicks have said that KP was not on board with what we were doing and did not want to be here any more, and where is the Lie? Its obvious he was not. They have been VERY classy in speaking it about even going as far as to say KP can answer that.

Fizdale PRAISED KP even AFTER he was gone.

Stop making up schit to defend this dude actions.

I’m not really defending his actions, I’m just calling it how I see it. The Knicks weren’t sold on his future(enough to max him) and KP wasn’t sold on the Knicks’ future. Perry and Mills were planning this move for a while.

Perry is very good. He might even be great.

Dolan's absentee ownership means he's in charge so we get what we've always wanted, a functioning organization.

And Mills actually does have a purpose that seems overlooked here. He has Dolan's trust so he literally is Perry's backstop. Mills does Dolan so Perry can do Perry. It's working well IMO.

I seriously doubt that happens. Perry believes in his plan, and it's clear he wont unload the cupboard for any player.

Will Frank be playing? Id like to see them starting next to each other.

not sure



He's not. Fiz already said him or Mudiay won't play and that Mudiay is a little further behind in his rehad then Frank so Frank should be back before Mudiay but not today.

On the one hand, "stay woke" already got appropriated by IG and Twitter morons. On the other, KP should just stay away from using, based on his actions, the way NY'er are, and the cultural resonance of the term. KP probably figures he's such a big global star, such considerations are beneath, well, consideration.


He thinks he’s being endearing but really he just needs to STFU.


Pretty much. Maybe if he had a savvy North American advisor/agent.

Nah, he got Janis.


I thought that Melo was delusional... KP takes the cake. This dude truly thinks that hes a finished superstar. This city has seen greatness... Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mo Rivera, Jeter, Seaver, Gooden, Namath, Lawrence Taylor, Walt Frazier, Willis Reed, Ewing, Messier, Leetch...

Notice, this list doesn't even mention names like: Giambi, ARod, O'Neal, Williams, Clemens, Cano, Mussina, Cone, Wells, Melo, Marbury, Benard King, Manning, Barber, OBJ, Toomer, Plaxico, Strahan, Amar'e, Houston, Sprewell, Debusschere, etc...

KP is a speck in NY history that will be forgotten... potentially in less than 6 months if everything goes perfectly. He could not win games. He could not stay healthy. He did not yet improve his fatal flaws.

Losing KP is nothing to lose sleep over.

Yes, not going to happen. Perry's not dumping the rest. He specifically kept ALL of the young guys so he has cost-controlled talent to go with the max cats. And some of our young guys will end up being legit pieces in their own right.
