“We fully support Kemba’s decision to shut it down for the remainder of the season and to use this time to prepare for next season,” Knicks president Leon Rose said in a statement. “His long-term success on the court remains our priority.” Thoughts? Dude put up 44 and sitting is going to do what, exactly? Does Kemba not like Thibs? Thibs not like Kemba? |

Walker would not have agreed to that buyout on those terms unless the 2 year/18 million dollar deal with the Knicks was sitting there waiting for him. Odds are the Thunder would have still bought him out anyway. Thus the Knicks could have had Walker at the veteran's minimum instead. Obviously he could have ring chased with a contender but the Knicks were offering the starting PG job. The cap hit for OKC is still listed by the actual contract, but the cash hit was a massive savings of said 20 million. Was anyone else in the NBA going to give Walker 2/18? I doubt it. If he had any value, Presti would have held onto him. And Presti has traded some pretty ugly contracts to boot. That should have been the first massive red flag. Walker at the DVE vets minimum is a great add. But another middle class contract for a guy who doesn't fit this team is just disturbing on multiple levels. Sometimes I have to wonder what is going through Dolan's head ( if anything is in there at all). Just hire a guy like Rich Cho or a Troy Weaver or hire a guy like Brock Aller to be GM directly and get out of their way. Every major sport is shifting to young progressive forward thinking personnel chiefs who are well versed in modern analytics. |
