Far from a trash player. Willy is a trash player of you want to go there. He can't get playing time over KOQ and Kanter.... I don't believe that but if you can type ridiculous things so can i

My post was not ridiculous. Please tell me what Rozier has done up until this season. He has played like a G-league player. He is the type of player you can get with a late 2nd rd pick in next years draft.

You must really like Willy. Hopefully we don't trade him so we can spare your aching heart

I do like Willy and think he needs time but understand a coach and F.O. pushing for Kanter and KOQ to get playing time early in the season. However, i wouldnt mind trading Willy for the right player or pkg. The problem is that Rozier isnt the right player.

Somebody has a man crush on Kanter but he can’t take us anywhere. Wily is younger, better boards, better defense, better upside clearly. Sure Kant Kant Kanter can fill it up but that it. Plus, he’s got a bloated contract. Hopefully they are showcasing him and can package him w Lee and lighten our payroll .

Anyway, let the trade deadline approach and we will see what shakes loose.

Sorry, but this is foolish, from a basketball standpoint and you risk alienating your franchise star. Makes no sense.

you think kp would prefers to win, or lose with is friend.

I think he wants to win more than anything, and the suns are not that talented at all, aside from booker and Bledsoe.

They just loss 2 games by 40 points each game, and the coach said he needs to see a little bit more effort..A LITTLE BIT>>>lol

The 'KP is going to leave narrative' is a new low for Knicks fans.

I keep telling you this kid and his family are not motivated by money, he's a unicorn, he's cut from a different cloth. How many players (let alone his age) in the NBA skipped their Exit meeting.

You can hear it in his comments, and you can see how he was raised, this isn't some AAU kid. Regardless to that, the knicks won't keep a disgruntle player on their roster, no team will, which is why phil was ready to make a move to trade him.

He didn't want melo to go, but you see how quick he got over that.

It's not a new low, it a strong possibility

It's agenda driven.

It is called sports politics. You see it on all teams...and if KP is our franchise player, it has to be taken into consideration, and KP has give hints that he is willing to leave.

If you guys can't see it, you are being myopic.

Besides...Bledsoe is not worth it...He's 28, now, with 3 truncated seasons. Why does he want to come to a rebuilding Knicks team...and why would we want a guy trying to get out of a rebuilding franchise like the Suns, who have a number of fine young players to come to the Knicks?

Willy is the poor man's Marc Gasol last year who surpasses our expectations, a supposed building block, and now we want to trade him for an injury prone player who can't hit 3's, has only 3 75+ game seasons in 7 years, and wants to leave what should be an exciting young team for a team which many on this forum complain about on a daily basis.

Yup...makes a lot of sense.

I kind of dont get this organization.(ongoing)
How come a "good team" Memphis is playing Dillon Brooks big minutes(picked after dotson) while Dotson and Willy are nOT playing and were a supposed lottery team? We can use 4 guys at C-PF Willy can play back up 4 man for KP--HP doesnt need to play 38 minutes on this team?? C Lee is who C Lee is Sessions THJ all the same thing--give Dotson PT and see what he can do. And dont stone Willy out?

team that is rebuilding needs to play everyone and find out who can play and who cannot play. Vets must understand that and play their roles accordingly. CLEE will get traded eventually I am sure. I like him but he needs to go to a team he can help. Same of Noah.

Right now, Kanter is new and he has shown some good stuff early in his career. KP is the franchise. KOQ and Willy need to back them up.

Dotson needs time as does Ntilikina. I am guessing that it will happen just maybe not fully until Dec-jan.

As for Bledsoe, I am not sure he is worth it. Attitude is in question #1. Not sure of his D, #2. we know he fits Jeff's offense, so that is a positive but he also takes up a lot of cap space and would hinder the process, IMO. So I guess I am against the move.

Also Willy and KP need to play together a lot. Let's see what that duo can do. NOt trading Willy at this time. Too much promise.

He's not even on a rookie (scale) contact. He's on a minimum 4-year contract, which is even more favorable.
