“Donte [DiVincenzo] was really unhappy, and [the Knicks] thought it could be a problem. They also believe that Landry Shamet can provide some quality bench guard minutes,” an anonymous source close to the situation told Sportscasting.

To many, this may seem like a major shock. Personally, I thought DiVincenzo, Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Mikal Bridges all loved the idea of playing together. But according to this source, DiVincenzo didn’t necessarily feel this way.

“He did not. DiVincenzo’s not into the Nova thing,” the source said.

Now he's closer to the Arctic circle and coming off the bench for Edwards

Arrivederci Donte, enjoy the waters of Lake Minnetonka.

Well if DiVincenzo was unhappy here glad he’s gone we also upgraded his position with bridges

Imo A+ offseason resign OG upgrades SG and center, we were a top last year and we made 2 big upgrades

Probably how they snuck the trade by him. Called him a couple times but Dolan was in the middle of a song and didn’t answer. :lol:

Yeah I don't really get the pearl clutching over losing donte. He had a few great games and moments in the playoffs. But he was very inconsistent. He was also replaced by mikal. His bench mins this year will be replaced by deuce who is on a much better deal and plays a lot better defense.

He was cool, but being upset about losing your starting spot to your friend, only to be traded to a team with a young superstar at your position is a beautiful final touch. He could have kept quiet and won a title here, instead he's gonna be shoveling 9 feet of snow in 3 months just to lose in the first round. Good riddance.

Probably for the best of everyone. That man is almost 70 and filthy rich. Someone else should be making critical decision - minimize stress. He should be relaxing and enjoying all his money.

:lol:
This is why you're one of my favs. Slightest hint of disrespect and you ratchet it up to incendiary levels. Not only is he dead to you. Donte should suffer in the 9th level of hell.

The Towns connection run deeper just like Brunson and Knicks. Don’t be surprised if Towns and Brunson is Knicks 1-2 punch with OG and Mikal being all star level role players.

Not really buying all the Donte stories. Maybe a little bit of truth but sounds like they are exaggerating things a ton.

Basically, Knicks had to include him as value and to match salaries. Maybe stories are leaking to soften the blow.

I mean we all saw how much chemistry the Nova guys had last year and how close they were
Mavs
C: Horford | Goga | Paul Reed |
PF: Lauri Markkanen | Randle | Tucker
SF: Trey Murphy | Trent | Anderson | Simone
SG: Vassell | Trent | Livingston
PG: Spida | Mann | Deuce
