i would have thought knicks would have looked at a project player in return for willy instead of picks.

kanter is definitely here next season, but his expiring could be a good asset for a trade.

This is fair. The alternative wasn't getting a better deal, it was just keeping him which is fine.

It's truly awful.

It's just a shame Scott Perry will be the front man for the blame when in reality Steve Mills is the man behind the curtain (who is really being puppeteered by Dolan.

Positive would be "the Knicks are making calls." This ish just feels like the old fake hustle days.

lol everyone losing their **** over WHG who sucks shows how desperate we are as a fanbase

we got 2 2nd rounders we can use in trades which is perfectly fine, WHG value was only going to go lower, esp with all the bigmen available atm

i just don't get the urgency to trade him now...was it for the "culture" because they didn't want a complainer?

Just move KOQ to free up minutes...play him for the rest of the year...re-evaluate his trade market...

It's comical that some people in here think 2nd round picks are valuable assets :lol:

We couldn’t finesse someone and say he was first team all rookie wussup give me something. They just of really not like his attitude.

Right. If we wanted to get a good return on Willy we needed to move Kyle and play him.

We'd almost better re-sign Kyle at this point because that's likely where the better return would have been.

the second picks unless packaged for a better player...this was a bit of a waste. Willie is a nice player with faults is he better then. a pair of 2nd rnd pics I don't mind payton he is always the scrub that beats us but this deal should lead to another deal , hopefully we get a small forward

It's more than fine. It's the better option.
