True he already left ny where would he go la!?
They got 20 million per year reasons to convince Port he'll resign. For a first time free agent with injury history, he'll resign.

Knicks robbed them if the two first round picks are unprotected
Favorites to land Zion, 2 max contract slots available, Dennis Smith Jr, two first round draft picks, not having to pay a faux star because he's white....
We're talking about the Knicks though, they'll find a way to it up.
Dallas was made for him. The fans are primed for Dirk deux.
Knicks didnt rob anyone only themselves, those two 1sts will be very low, Dallas will sign another free agent in the summer, they seem to have a plan in place, lots of free agents in the summer, they can go for Middleton for example, it doesn't have to be a big name. Knicks on the other hand only hope is Zion because i dont see any big name free agent going there with Dolan as the owner. Lets clear cap space for nothing and get very low 1sts that guarantee .
Durant is going to the Knicks, regardless of the front office. Called it a year ago. Durant cares nothing about winning after getting the 3pete. He cares about money, his image, and personal accomplishments. He goes to the Knicks, becomes the face of a huge sporting team, brings playoff basketball back to NY while scoring a massive amount of points and earning massive coin.

Knicks never get
If the Knicks don’t land Durant, this is a terrible trade. I think people forget how good KP is and the only concern is his long term health.
Man, I coveted Bamba in the draft. Why in the world would Orlando put him on the market already?
I think this a win for both teams ... New York clears up cap space for two max stars ( Durant and Kyrie) and may possibly land Zion in the draft while Dallas pairs up Porzingis and Luka with the potential to add a third star in the future .. nice re build for the mavs... kinda hate them right now for pulling this off
It only works if they are able to pick up both of them. I guess Kawhi and Butler could move too. Klay isn’t leaving and then the list falls off. Middleton, Kemba and Harris are nice but will be extremely expensive.
I have no idea, Spurs should definitely go after him.
Mavs now look like a team that potentially can have two superstars. Spurs aren't going anywhere with their aging stars. The only real way for smaller market teams to get stars is to find them in the draft. You can't do that without trading your way for higher draft picks.
I agree, I’d be selling high on Vucevic not low on Bamba
What a great deal for the Knicks, especially if true that Porzingis is looking to sign the QO, regardless of whether with them or Mavs. Knicks dump their two bad contracts and get two picks that look to be 2021 Dallas unprotected first ( if Porz leaves in 2020 it could become the best trade asset in the league ) and a 2023 first with some protection.
I'd be happy if I'm a Knicks fan, they can throw it all for Davis now too if they decide to go this route.
I’d give up our first round picks. I’d want to keep Poeltl though, Bamba would start Poeltl would come off the bench. I’m assuming Orlando would want more...Forbes? Got a feeling that’s not enough and anything else wouldn’t be worth it
Some insight - since the current basic NBA salary structures have been in place (over 20yrs) not one player has turned down a max rookie extension and signed the QO instead. KP would be the first if he did it. Seems extremely unlikely to me esp given his injury history.
Reports are that he will do exactly what nobody has done
I wonder what it would cost...if the Spurs can get rid of the bum Poeltl for Bamba, that would be awesome.
Think it's 2019 ( ATL) 2021 & 2023 to New York
2023 is top 10 protected too. Luka will be on the team in 2020-2021 so they won’t be terrible.
Living around a bunch of Knicks fans, this is just a laughable move. Tune into some NY sports radio if you want your entertainment for the day.
1.) don’t sign these horrible contracts in the first place
2.) don’t trade your best asset for a third young PG when you’re targeting another PG (Kyrie) this summer. Amazing that Spurs have two way better young PG despite picking at the end of the first round than the Knicks wasting lottery picks. Almost as bad as Kahn and the Wolves picking Rubio and Flynn over Curry.
