SInce Checketts left, Jimmy did what most owners do but badly.
Gilbert seems to be learning the hard way and levels of dysfunction exist.
To build on Kyrie is ignorant. Kyrie in tandem to KP might be an interesting conversation.

Yes, there is distance between the knicks and KP still. KP is still in Freaking europe!!!
There is repair work to be done. A lot has changed in NY since KP went on holiday!!! Massive front office changes.
If KP is not on board and wants to be traded and take his bird rights with him im sure we'll accommodate him but it only makes sense that with PHil gone and so much front office change that flows down so some sort of change.
Phil was exiled in favor of KP.

Why would NY want Irving instead of KP? I mean seriously.

Why? Makes for good reading!!!

No, the "continued distance" is pure speculation on the part of the writer or other NBA teams that want to put a wedge between player and team to their advantage.

If the Cavs already made it public that they want a young star, all the righter hast to is looked at the teams Irving pick and then put that youngs stars name out there as a player the cavs would be most interested in.

Woj wrote about 'the distance' between KP and the Knicks in his article. I hadn't read the Post article until just now. I think Martin is right but Woj writing this holds a bit more weight because of who he is.

WOJ is part of ESPN now and I've felt a shift in his style of writing, dancing in the grey areas much more with pure speculation and much less journalistic integrity.

This Irving trade process has been deliberate, and teams believe that the Cavaliers expect more aggressive conversations in September, closer to the start of training camps. Porzingis has emerged as a primary Cleveland target, but that's a conversation that can occur only with Cleveland's willingness to unburden the Knicks of the three years and $55 million left on Joakim Noah's contract. For now, the conversation is a nonstarter for the Knicks, league sources said.

For the right All-Star player, though -- Irving or otherwise -- multiple NBA teams are seriously questioning how emphatic of a "no" that will stay for New York. There continues to be distance between Porzingis and the organization, and how the Knicks truly value Porzingis' future could become clearer once they're together to begin the season.

The bolded can be said about almost any player and organization that had a spat at one time or another for the purpose of putting sentences to a thought that may not really be the thoughts of the organization or the player but rather of the author.
