Because the Knicks deserve nothing but pain and suffering from now until the end of time.

Alternate answer: Because he was accused of rape but that seems to have faded away and was probably bullshit? I’m not sure

I think it was more that the new front office moved him while he was still at his highest value. Casual fans aren't the only ones who noticed that KP kept getting injured and was visibly tired early on in the season. I think that was the main reason why they could only get DSJ and some filler since probably everyone around the league was only offering something as valuable as that.

They sent him along with salary because they decided they didn't want to wait for a real rebuild and try to buy a team this offseason.

We'll, uhh, we'll see how that goes.

KP was on a cheap contract and it would have been ideal to pair him with new FAs this year since he'd be coming off the ACL tear in time for it. They just denied his rookie extension in order to get 10 mil more to play with while keeping him a RFA.

There’s no way they got the highest value for him. Compare his trade to anyone of his caliber traded recently and it’s pennies on the dollar. It’s pure #Knickstape

I think they did. He wanted out, everyone knew it, he's a great prospect but he's a gamble between the injuries and the conditioning so far in the league. Plus I doubt he resigns in NO so it's not like the AD trade was ever realistic. I think it's just typical overrating Knicks players that made his trade value considered that much higher.

What are reasonable expectations for Porzingis next season?

He's been back running drills for a bit now and should be good to go for the season. If he's back from the ACL tear you got yourself a reliable second option volume scorer behind Doncic. Also he's a better rebounder than his stats indicate since he was just always next to a black hole rebounder. Biggest issues were conditioning and injuries other than that he's pretty much a star and still like 22 years old, but the conditioning and constant injuries are big risks.

Emmanuel Mudiay: the rare player of whom you can say he showed some measure of improvement over the past season and is still replacement-level at best.

He was rear end. He got better at driving to the basket but still resorted to a ton of janky mid range shots that miraculously went in a lot. Complete poo poo on defense to almost non-existent so he's like an 8th man or something for benches with no scorers, I guess.

DSJ was somehow worse but I guess he's two years younger and has more allure as a prospect so I dunno, my team is trash.

I'd rather have AD+Lebron+Good Role Players than AD+Lebron+Star+vet minimum trash. Considering AD deals with nagging injuries all the time and Lebron is starting to become mortal that Lakers team will probably be banged up to all hell by the time playoffs roll around.

Maybe 22m a year was a lot when Joe Johnson got it but now that's like a fifth of a teams average space and there's only so many FAs willing to go to other teams that are worth that much money.

Absolutely loving the Knicks FA so far. Sucks that they struck out on all the big names but these are a bunch of solid pick ups that can help make Knox and Barrett not look like a bunch of flailing rookies. Two year deals all over the place to get ready for 2021 free agency is pretty cool and smart.

It's not been a great FA but it's loads better than years past

Still poo poo but maybe they got some trade pieces with Portis/Taj/Bullock/Ellington when the teams garbage and contenders need spot role players.

Yea he doesn't suck out loud. Hyper athletic rebounder, hit's 3's at a decent clip, and is great at finishing at the rim. His problem is all those janky mid range shots. Literally takes more of those than driving to the basket where he's almost twice as better

Honestly more power to him. I'd rather players have the power to shape teams than billion dollar owners, especially when it produces fun teams like AD/Lebron or the new Clipper Cavalcade
