Kyrie only goes to BK if KD goes there.

Kyrie and KD will be Knicks unless Kahwi agrees to come here then KD and Kahwi will be Knicks and then Kyrie will go to LA with Lebron.

Nets get leftovers.

It is funny to me how we went from being hyped about KD and Kyrie definitely coming here to being hyped that Kawhi is going to just give us the time of day.....

We have insider info that the Knicks have been in contact with Kawhi's camp for 2 weeks though and that the leak is strategic.

probably they did it just to try to steal the backpage headlines in ny. and it worked too.

He is convinced that they would never put that out if they were still thinking they were getting KD. I actually thought the same thing when that rumor came out about Kawhi. Why would they wait until now to let it be known that they're interested in Kawhi when they could of done that weeks ago? I agree with this guy and think they did get word that KD isn't coming to the Knicks so they quickly went to the next best option which is obviously Kawhi.

My take is that its not the Knicks that issued that release to the press, but the Warriors' front office, why? To create distractions.
It's common practice between teams in high stakes and one that the 90's Knicks durung a ECF series employed.
Michael and the Bulls were playing I believe in NY game 2 and it was released that morning in the tabloids that Michael was in Atlantic City the night before.

The Bulls lost that one and MJ went back to Chicago with a hord of reporters painfully hounding him about the report.
Instead of a distraction, Michael got pissed and the rest is history.

The Knicks organization is one of the most secretive in sports. Trust me they are not worried about the Nets news. They are really comfortable having young stars and lots of pics.

For contemplation.
Perhaps they've already told Kyrie's reps they're not interested. And for the same reason why Kyrie is really not tied seriously to LA. Boston got worse this year and looking at Kyrie's past, me? I'll stick with DAngelo Russell's develop into a stud. He's waaaaayy younger and hasn't reached his ceiling yet.

The Knicks are an attractive team right now, with a potential of putting together 3 all-NBA players. No other team has those assets.

The Nets have no more assets to bring in another alpla dog. So its Kyrie, but sacrificed DRuss in the process. If this all pans out, the Nets make take a step back, in their long-term future.

This is all great but it's all just assumptions as well.

is kawhi admitting he's damaged goods a bit in this ? he says if he didn't take all those games off for load management he wouldn't be able to play now. says he's not thinking about free agency now.

Yo! What's up with Serge laying out penis and forcing Kawhi to eat it? Like, that's a real thing that happened that Kawhi is comfortable talking about. WTF is going on?!?! We not gonna talk about this? :lol:

2:45 mark FYI.

Knicms didnt put out anything...they didnt come out and say they were going after kawhi...

Also here is something funny, knicks can sign both!

We have absolutely no idea how this rumor actually started. We don't know if someone in the Knicks front office leaked this to a media member or if this is just another made up rumor that nobody in the Knicks front office had anything to do with at all. We have no way of knowing this.

It wasn’t made up.
