It's not about turning down money, all he has to do is request a trade. Your not going to keep a disgruntled player in your locker room, I don't care how good he is. what good will it do? your going to hold him hostage and force him to be happy..

I follow him on instagram and snapper chat. He loves NY and is staying. This is fact. As usual your making up bull**** scenarios and then using them as the foundation of your point.

You sound so naive, kp is going to do whatever is brother says, and you already heard what he said...signs of PROGRESS...

You sound like a guy with his head in the clouds singing everything is ok in the middle of a tsunami..

Where is he going to go? Which team is going to give a 7'3" player who is 1 year out from major knee surgery a max contract? Let's look forward two years and think of teams that would be possibly looking to compete for a championships (Philly, Bos, Minn, etc). Do you see any of those guys giving a max contract to KP? I doubt it. He may get an offer from Phoenix, Charlotte, Miami etc. But those situations aren't any better.

If he's not the same player coming back in a significant way, the team will have to make a tough decision as to offering the MAX, trading him or risk letting him walk.

They probably offer him the max extension this summer. Given his age and work ethic, i think it's fair that he will come back and be fine, so i don't think the Knicks will see it as a big risk. The key will be keeping him healthy once he's back.
