I doubt he cares. It's been reported he knows his limitations and doesn't wanna start.

I gotta say his attitude is night and day from his first go around with us

Rose never had a problem with the Knicks, it was personal (Mom's death, problem with his daugther) issues that effected his 1st go around. But he was always a good soldier.
Rooks loved him last year.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Leon had us in the position to take advantage of the situation and he fell into our laps. No hocus pocus involved, just good decision making resulting in a rare positive outcome for this franchise.

So much of free agency is “luck” and being in a position to take advantage of a good opportunity when it arises and for once it benefitted us instead of some other team. Hopefully a good positive sign for the future


Negotiating a buyout takes time with millions, upon millions on the line. So you know Kemba's team was definately talking with the Knicks during the process. Funny that the Knicks waited for the Lakers and others to eat up their money.

Come on, you don't think the Lakers wouldn't have jumped on the Walker buyout? The Nets? For $8million? Of course!



I give Kemba's agents more credit than Leon. Leon and WWW were advertised as being these influencers who could woo the big free agents here. BS.

That's probably fair. The awol thing wasn't a good look. Instead of attitude, I shouldve said production/play on the court. Thats really what sucked the first go around

Upgraded Bullock to Evan Fournier
Upgraded Payton to Kemba Walker
Kept all our 1st round picks
Added another 1st round pick
Kept all our kids
Drafted 4 guys
Gave out flexible 2+1 deals to players already in our system


We didn't keep all of our 1st round picks and didn't add one? We trade one for a future one. Just sayin.

Getting Kemba for 8 Million is insanely good. He fits perfectly with this team. No need to play more than 25 minutes with Rose and IQ.
This team is better than the Hawks that beat us in the playoffs.
