Maybe Melo's problem is "every is Irie" as long as he gets his.

Melo is who he is, but KP's actions are on KP. I wouldn't applaud Melo if he skipped the meeting at all.

KP has shown me he is still very immature. Which is fine, because he's 21. I know he's a great competitor and hates losing and all of this is mostly because of losing. I don't even care if he was hacked or not. He does not want to be traded, because trust me if he did, the Knicks would be shopping him as his agent would have told them to. The thing is KP has to voice his frustration properly through proper channels.

On Melo's side, there is no Melo behind this KP stuff. Melo is about Melo. I don't love the guy or hate him, but I think blaming him for any of KP's actions are ridiculous.

yeah i agree. Everyone knows im a big KP guy BUT his behavior hasnt been mature. I will take him at his word about the tweet hacking but skipping an exit meeting was just immature. If you are displeased then you go tell the team management about your concerns at the exit meeting

Agreed. That's what a future team leader would have done.

He could have emerged as a leader if he had spoken forcefully to Phil at their end of season meeting...might have become a "hero" to some of his teammates.

Blown opportunity, but we are making too much of this stuff, IMO.

Yup...mistake by KP.

Yes, a blown opportunity.

Imagine the difference KP's conversation could have made on Phil's presser.

No confrontation was ever necessary. KP could have expressed his wish list for the coming season. That could have included that he did not want Rose back for whatever reasons. Phil could have either accepted that or explained why Rose needed to remain a potential option to return.

Likewise he and Phil could have discussed the Melo situation. KP could have heard it from Phil first, "look we need to cut bait with Melo and here's why..."

Melo made it sound like these meetings were just bull**** and in so doing sent the message that they are unimportant. It shows how out of touch Melo is with playing basketball and communicating with management. Melo is mailing it in and it shows and it sets a very bad example. Can you imagine the sh@t Lebron would lay on a teammate who was floating like that - he'd put a size eighteen sneaker up his arse.

First explanation that makes sense.

Unlike some I don't think he should have gone to vent, discuss wishes etc

He's a 2d year player. He should have gone to learn something. KP by now should know how tough it is to win big in NBA. If he can't respect a guy who won 2 as a player and coached 11 more then that's on him and his immense lack of good judgment.

if KP is serious about winning he'd be much better off listening and learning than making statements

Interesting, that a second year player, who's been hurt both seasons, and hasn't even managed to win a handful of ****ty regular season games by himself, thinks he's in a position to make any kind of statement to management. Boy be spending way too much time playing video games.

He could be a knee or back injury away from being the 2010's version of Shawn Bradley or Sam Bowie.

Meanwhile Draymond Green, who infamously took a photo of his penis and posted in on Snapchat before claiming he was “hacked” last summer wasn’t buying Porzingis’ excuse. He appeared on the Dray Day podcast and said the following:

"Kristaps, you lyin' bro. You weren't hacked. Maybe you was drunk — and you know your true feelings came out, and you tweeted your true feelings — but you weren't hacked my man. Trust me. I had a worse episode than you just did on social media and the first thing I said was ‘Aww man, I was hacked.’ It's the first thing you think of."

So there you have it. Kristaps wasn’t hacked, according to Draymond Green — and we also learned that we did see his penis last year, not just a random penis. Good to know.

still wonder why nobody from the knicks has reached out to him.. Like They have no plan for this guy for the off season...whats really going on here?

Is that why Josh Longstaff is going with him? My 4 year old is better informed than you.. (but to be fair he turns 5 in a couple weeks)

so, how miss informed was I really...dude what ever I say you seem to have a issue with it, but it's a facts..this was so transparent..

I bet Janis had the talk with phil about Longstaffs involvement with KP, and why he was firing him before it went public..

Longstaff's contract was up this year, it was in place for 3 years now. He wasn't fired, just not kept.

your getting in the way of 1248's alternative facts

yeah because according to you, the knicks sent longstaff to be with kp, your facts were right on the money
