Has signing Jontay Porter to a two-way deal been discussed yet?

TJ Warren 18ppg, 49FG% and 43% from three, not even ranked in top100. ESPN hates the Pacers.

7:40 mark. More LolKnicks propaganda by Espn

Zach Lowe is a pretty knowledgeable guy so it is disheartening to see him be very unhappy with the franchise and offseason. But it's also not surprising. It has nothing to do with the fact that anyone 'hates' the Knicks. He's a self-admitted Knicks fan. The franchise has done this to themselves. You have to earn respect. We haven't yet.

Zack Lowe grew up a huge Boston fan, and even though he has talked about the demise of his fandom through becoming a national writer, the hatred/mockery of the Knicks he cultivated throughout his youth has still been obvious in his writing from jump. He's been taking Ainge balls deep for years now.

I also agree that the franchise has done this to themselves, but Zack Lowe has a born and bred distaste for the New York Knicks that he can never fully suppress.

Facts:

He has never had anything good to say about the Knicks he’s a Michael Wilbon, Bill Simmons Knicks level hater

I’m convinced National Media deliberately likes to troll Knicks fans so for clicks and discussion...

The ESPN list was so bad it’s not even worth acknowledging

Has it been discussed yet? I mean he's a free agent and he's uber-talented and we have an open two-way spot...

Lowe's own words of his Knicks hatred, from an old article in which he believes he seeks to show that he no longer has any partisanship when it comes to basketball fandom.

https://grantland.com/the-triangle/the-life-and-death-of-fandom/

Funny thing: I grew up a Boston fan, just like the boss of this site. And that’s not hard to find out, either. It’s not a secret. But somewhere in the course of transitioning into the life of an NBA writer, my fandom died. I can’t pinpoint the exact date, but I know it happened between the 2010 Finals and the start of the 2011 season — the period in which I made that professional shift.

Last year’s playoffs represented the finality of fandom’s death within me. Five or 10 years ago, a Boston–New York series would have overwhelmed every other aspect of my life. I grew up in Fairfield County, Connecticut, right next to New York City, and in my formative sporting years, the Celtics entered the post-Bird decline phase, while the Pat Riley–era Knicks were ascendant. All my friends were Knicks fans.

It was unbearable. I bet my eighth-grade English teacher on the outcome of the 1990 first-round series between the two teams, a best-of-five series Boston lost after going up 2-0. I think we bet $5. I’m not sure he accepted my money, but I was angry at him for weeks after that series, and generally for several consecutive years as the Celtics transformed into one of the league’s most depressing franchises. The Knicks were really good. All I could do was take pleasure in the fact that they never won the title. I won a lot of money betting on Chicago against my Knicks fan friends in the 1993 Eastern Conference finals, and I got years of mileage out of “Smith stuffed!” 2-for-18, and the Reggie Miller choke sign.

It was discussed when Tommy Beer talked about it, but nothing came of it.
