sorry knick fans

[Scoonie]

He would've been brain-dead not to.

Where did those "7 teams interested in him" go? Was Kanter just hallucinating?

[QBoro KnicksFan]

Hopefully we can move him by the trade deadline

[saltybs]

Good. The team is better with him out there. And with the team being better, it ups the odds of 2019 free agent targets actually signing with us.

Also, we'll just be a far more entertaining team to actually watch with him out there. He balls!

Please play 48 mpg. Knicks need to get a top 3 pick

[colaroaster]

phil jackson was an overrated coach

[ChokeFasncists]

A lot of teams are interested in signing him but not at close to 20 mil. Good move.

[MaxRider]

surprise it took him that long to opt in

Actually, I prefer they play him 20 because the youth development is more important than him leading the tank...... Though I still expect him to lead the tank in the minutes he does get.

[The Laker Kid]

He's going to the Lakers!! nah... wrong thread

[TimRobbins]

He has value as an expiring contract.

[jstudabaka]

As a Knicks fan, I was pretty indifferent either way. Pretty inconsequential.

[likashing]

Seriously, the multiple teams "interested" in him won't even offer him $18.6m over 4 years. His real worth is vet min. Or out of the league.
