THE KNICKS ARE HISTORICALLY INCOMPETENT. This is and will always be the real problem.

They are overplaying their hand....in their mind KP is a brand name...so he has clout....and can dictate....that is bs ....put his ass on notice with these trade rumors....if a homerun deal comes u take it.....I am not for it....but we cannot have a 2nd year player running *hit

This is nonsense. With as bad as Phil Jackson has been in his short tenure here, you think Kristaps is the problem?

Everything was fine before Janis? Were you absent the entire time Phil Jackson depreciated the value of the team's franchise player, picked a public feud with the league's biggest star- LeBron James(among others), made a series of expensive moves that paid no dividends to the team to date and has been a general ****head? It boggles my mind that people would dare blame anyone but Phil Jackson in this situation....or any situation involving the Knicks. He has been a complete disgrace.

i never defended phil or said he has done a good job as president. HOWEVER i try to be honest. KP is my favorite knick but im not gonna just excuse him for when he does immature crap. I dont think its all his fault like i said his brother has been an ass mostly

So the appropriate reaction to a player skipping an exit meeting is to fan-the-flames that you are willing to trade him? Seems like a reasonable thing to do (end sarcasm).

he never said he would trade him just that teams have called and he is listening. Happens a lot in sports

Well this is also the same man that tried having Scottie Pippen and Kobe Bryant traded in their primes...so I'm uncomfortable of the direction these "talks" can go.

They feign innocence and KP's love for NY to get sympathy from the fans and media but Janis met with Phil and still no apology or contact from KP!!! They won't say it but they WANT Phil to trade KP!!! That's the only logical conclusion to why this has dragged out so long. Why KP STILL hasn't tried to mend things!!!

I'm a firm believer in 2 sides to the story. There's nothing logical about this knick era, so to come up with your own logical conclusion, sounds like you are trying to convince yourself and others that phil is the victim.

Phil isn't a victim!!! He's still President of the New York Knicks and contrary to what Melo and KP think he's calling the shots!!! KP's Team clearly want Phil to do what they want but Phil rightly is doing what is best for the KNICKS!!! Doesn't matter if it's CAA or ASM, Agents aren't running the Knicks.
