That’s the worse case scenario imo. I’d take the risk



see what i mean, they're everywhere you look lol


Remember the guy who kept posting "KD surgery is tomorrow" before anyone knew anything and nobody was paying attention?? I think some of these random posters are legit connected guys in the know. I wouldn't be surprised if KD himself hasn't visited this board and reads our posts.


KD is on here flaming some of y'all right now.
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

yeah it got ridiculous for me. i hung onto every word/riddle he threw out there. I brought Carl up in conversations with other Knicks fans outside of this forum as if he had Woj credibility.

One interesting thing is that Kawhi doesn't have the kind of personality where he'd give the Knicks a meeting unless it's a realistic possibility.

He's the opposite of showy as we all know. So anybody he meets with, must mean he has sincere interest.

Yeah... I think it'll be either us or the Clippers if he signs long-term. Maybe Toronto if he does a 1 or 2 year deal.

to be fair, don't you want due diligence? who had the crystal ball to know KD would be in this situation?

I actually agree with him in part. Obviously, that's how teams are thinking but you don't want it in public as it's slightly embarrassing/damaging to Durant's FA bid to have it out there that we may be 2nd guessing.

The report really doesn’t mean anything and can’t be proven. There is a science to rumors


i'd love to hear it.

there are only a few reputable insider sources that make my spider senses tingle when they post. everyone else feels like speculation and second-hand fun.

Considering how little leakage has come from the Knicks of late, this is probably a strong tell they will be passing on KD

It was almost definitely leaked for the purpose of justifying to both KD and the fans why they will not be making him an offer (or at least the kind of offer he expects)
