NFT: Knicks Chat: Speculation on Durant's top 3 destinations

DanMetroMan : 11/14/2018 9:43 am
Could be 100% BS but the whispers floating around are that NYK/WAS as at the top of Durant's list and that the Sixers are also very high which is one reason they may not want to take on Courtney Lee, which would help the Knicks shot at Durant.

-Everyone is denying the report Green mentioned Durant's FA status (doesn't mean it's untrue) but multiple reports say Green called Durant a "bitch" repeatedly during their fight.

trade kanter to a team looking to unload a contract, get a draft pick and a young asset...

also i would see if you can get a haul for KP, you cant max him out and have nothing around him...

if someone is willing to give you young players and picks you have to think about it
15 down, 67 to go.

They did look worse than usual tonight.
Teenagers and Kids in their early 20s will struggle to compete.

We knew this going in. It takes players time to develop, with the occasional anomaly. It just so happens that the NBA had two rookies last year in Tatum and Mitchell who played far above the average rookie. Maybe that skewed the expectations for some.

I haven't lost any hope for the Knicks going forward, at least yet. Granted I didn't expect them to seriously compete for much for at least 3-5 years, assuming they aren't able to get any legitimate free agents, so for me nothing much has changed. I still think KP, Frank, Trier, Knox, Dotson, and Robinson could turn out to be good to great players if developed properly.

Granted, I admit it's hard to watch young players struggle whether it's expected or not. It's even harder to watch the THjr and Kanter's of he world play just well enough to steel minutes from younger players but not well enough to compete for anything.

That all being said, I'm not going to worry about the future of the Knicks until they make some dumb off season moves or unless all of these kids still play like this in 2 or 3 seasons.
Trading Porzingis helps them how, exactly?

if you get a haul, for example a young player and draft pick...

this team is going to be garbage for a long time with or without kp, you max him out and this team is capped out with nothing on the roster...

kp is good but he is not good enough to carry a team
Assuming KP eventually gets back to 100%

He is the best talent they have. At some point you have to start building around someone. If you trade him your just hoping to use the picks gained to draft someone of his caliber anyway so I don't see the advantage of trading him at this point. Can't kick the rebuild down the road forever.
We can debate what they should do all we want

but the reality is they're gonna knock these remaining 67 games off the calendar, make their draft pick and throw money at whoever is willing to take it.

Mills and Perry are confident they can develop players and attract free agents - they'll have opportunities to prove it.

look now but the tank is right on schedule. 4th worst record in the league, and remember, top 3 all now have an equal shot at no. 1
