His company (and his agent) have always been based in NYC. They simply moved from one building to another. It's a non-story. That article talking about moving was clickbait.

That being said, I think KD going to the Knicks is a done deal. There is no way the Knicks would've moved their best asset just to clear more cap space if they didn't get an assurance he was coming.

And really, look at it from a Warriors perspective. Plenty of stars want to move because they were stuck in what was perceived as a situation where they couldn't win. This isn't the case here. The Warriors put him in a position to win 2 Finals MVPs. They've given the best platform to win. Yet KD has still refused to commit long term.

Suffice to say, winning isn't the issue to KD, or at least it no longer is because he now has 2 championships and 2 Finals MVPs. He can scratch that off his list. He's pretty much now in Lebron mode, where he wants to build his brand and shape his post playing career in a large and influential media market.

I agree with your overall point but KD doesn't exactly have the LeBron legacy. It's a basketball decision to lead a major market team and do some damage in the PO's. Very different than what LeBron has done.

This is a really stupid take.

“Stupid” is too nice of a word for this fool.

Stupid is actually using "110%" like its a true percentage

MJ passed up the chance at one twice and he was the most competitive player to ever play(or close enough to it). Something tells me KD isn't going to care that much about it. The 3 peat thing isn't a done deal yet either.

What would the extra 10% constitute?

According to Bloomberg, the company address is in San Francisco.

He can stay in GS and rack up those rings but if he does go to NYC and win there it would be absolutely huge for his legacy.
Not all rings are equal (not saying the ones he won don't count but bringing a chip to NY would trump the rest imo)

You need a little extra for charity.

A wise man once told me.

“Why win championships when you can join the worst team in the league?”

It's definitely a realistic possibility. Which is pretty crazy considering where NY started the year.

Or if he comes maybe they play 83 games next season to remove tonight's game from the record books.

I see what this is...anti jinx thread by a Warriors fan.

Now it's definitely not going to happen.
