Hah, I literally just posted in another thread about potentially bringing him back.

Prediction - he is going to flourish big-time for the Knicks. Great pickup for them.

[Anti Chalmers]

Didn't expect that. Do we get anything back?

Aaron Gordon pulls down 18 rebounds in his first SL game and then BOOM.

DAMN. I hope he gets a chance to play. He deserves it. Gonna miss the beard! He's a great teammate and bench player.

[MagicManDC]

I'm happy for Kyle.

Knicks fan here, just wanted to say best of luck next season, you guys seem to have a lot of promise in the future. Could you tell me a bit more about him? I know he has played well in the few minutes he got from the bench.

I'd say the guy deserves an appreciation thread.

Excellent hustle player who can knock down the mid range jumper. No post game, and we tried and failed to turn him into a three point shooter.

Really good passer for a big. Fouls too much to play big minutes.

[Orium]

We must not have wanted to pay him? I'm a bit confused by this one

At least we'll be getting the 31st pick in the 2019 draft....

[Devin 1L]

Well, shucks.

[MagicManDC]

4 years 16 mill. More than I wanted to pay him given our current team. I'm happy Kyle is making some money for his future.

[SOUL]

Realistically had no room for minutes here.

He'll be good there.

[MJallday59]

I've followed this guy since his days at NSU. Great guy with a big heart. That 4 million is going to end up being a steal. Happy for him!!!

Knicks owe their 2019 2nd Rd pick to the Sixers, so the pick they've sent Orlando will probably be the better of the Cavs and Rockets picks.

Son of a b****.

Good shotblocker, pretty good rebounder, solid post defender, great passer for a big, good roll man, decent mid range shooter, good free throw shooter. 3pt range but very inconsistent.

very unathletic, foul prone, poor defensive awarness, no post game, will have a few "Lamar Odom" moments, kind of a tweener.

This is a Ben Wallace/Andres Varejao/Brendan Haywood type of mistake by the Magic. KOQ will go on and do much bigger and better things and Magic will regret it. Can't BELIEVE that we let him go for that cheap.
