What he didn't want was a crappy organization with a clueless FO, and a questionable coach -- whose best year was a smidge over .500 on a pretty good team, and then fired because he couldn't finish games and got his best player pissed at him

Luka, KP and Barnes are going to start rocking as the Warriors break up; our draft picks will be in the mid 20s or higher

If KP had been healthy, and ballin', Id be on KP's side about being competitive this season. Was never interested in seeing the Knicks tank from the start, but there is enough of a sample size now to say that the Knicks were wise to sit KP for most of the season.

He wasnt coming to the rescue this year, to carry us to the playoffs. Looks like coaching and mgmt didnt do themselves any favors in saying KP was further out in his rehab, than he was. And KP was wrong for not seeing the big picture, with him coming off a major injury.

to be clear I'm fine that we're losing; i'm not fine with playing horrific basketball so that we're not developing while losing. We're not passing at all. We're selfish. On defense we don't stay in front of guys and the other night we didn't have guys within 3 feet of DeAndre on rolls.

KP was 100% right to question the direction of the franchise. I also suspect he was a little ticked that KAT got paid and he didn't; he's supposed to come back from an injury without the security blanket. And I also think Janis is a fool and a snake.

I am also 100% confident that this will go down as one of the all time worst trades in the NBA. Guys like KP don't come along often, and we traded him for a ball hog and two draft picks that will be in the high 20s at least. We got cap space but none of the max guys is going to want to come to a team of 19 and 20 year olds with bad habits and a coach seems to have problems relating to his best players (Gasol, KP)

Right now there are a lot of people in denial trying to look for a bright side. It's very simple. Do you really think Mills and Perry are better FO, than KP is a player; do you think they swindled Donnie Nelson Jr, Rick Carlisle

While knick fans are ready to burn their jerseys. lol

I don't get the anger.

KP wasn't a superstar b4 surgery. His chances of being a superstar after surgery are now slim. He couldn't carry the team on his shoulders like Melo did, but he's expecting to get paid more than Melo.

THj is a chucker who needs a high value of shots to score.

Burke is the same as THj, a value shooter.

Lee is a has been journey man.

In return, we still have our own pick....2 future 1st round picks....and cap space to sign 2 max free agents right now. Sounds good to me.

Knicks thought the same thing when Isiah gave up those first rounders for Curry. He figured they would be low first rounders as well. Anything can happen to the Mavs, more trades, injuries. Good players can be had in the mid to low first round, if necessary.

To answer your question, I believe Perry is a good judge of talent, and can make something of those picks.

KP has a right to question the direction of the franchise, but not from the bench. Hasnt played in a year. Hasnt done enough in this league to be that demanding. Cant say "I gave it my all, but mgmt let me down."

Agree KP should get a quality agent, doesnt have one now.
