Kanter did a great job filling in with what i believe was a separated shoulder. Whether it was 6 minutes or 45 minutes, that’s piss poor business practice to give someone a short time frame like that. It’s essentially saying “FU Enes, we don’t want you here but here’s a bone to throw at your face for a few minutes.” Just tell him you aren’t interested.

We released Kanter half way through the year. The guy loved the Knicks. Averaged 15 and 10. Had a great motor yet Knicks fans pushed the he doesn't play defense motto. Their go to. He was a former No.3. Agree that he has not lived up to expectations but for me this is the players Knick fans are so quick to give up on. But are the same to applaud a signing like Bobby Portis and hype the potential. Kanter is making 5 Million a year after performing quite well in Play offs. Portis is making 15 million after padding number on useless Wiz clan. Think there could be a case made that Knater may end up better than Randle, who we just paid $21 million.

He was a decent Knick and I like him a lot. Hopefully his career is successful going forward and I especially hope he can re-connect with his family and he can stop living in fear if he travels. The Portland Trailblazers owed him more than saying “You have 45 minutes.” Either they want him or not. Saying they aren’t willing to negotiate is a pu$$y move in this case.

Six minutes is a LONG TIME during the early stages of any FA period for any sport. He's a Tier 4 FA, so he doesn't get the luxury of a Leonard type of player who can make everyone wait. The marketplace has completely collapsed on big men in the NBA. There is no way the Knicks get Randle otherwise. You want to make teams wait? Learn to hit a league average three point shot and be an actual rim protector. That simple. |

Looking at what he did in the playoffs with one shoulder. Doing a great job of defending Jokic, MVP candidate. His showing a midrange jumper. Id say that right now Kanter is the better player. When Randle can do what Kanter just did, Being the main reason a team was able to recover from the loss of a star player, and go deep in the playoffs. Then Randle can make that claim. Only one of them has proven themselves in the playoffs. Not a one off like Jerome James. |

Are we to say that Danny Green has the right to say he's better than Luka Doncic because he's a battle hardened veteran who's had big games in the playoffs? Randle has never had the opportunity to showcase his skills in the postseason. Kanter had one good series and I'm happy for him. But he was middling in ever other series. He had a coach straight up say he can't play him. Also, I wouldn't call Julius a one-off. He's steadily improved and had a good year with the Lakers before he signed. If anyone is a one-off it's Kanter. He's had one playoff serious where he wasn't run off the court defensively. That was due to Portland's desperation and the switchability of guys like Aminu and Harmless. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Until a player proves themselves in the playoffs, you are just talking about potential. Body of work means something. There are regular season coaches and players. Dantoni and Harden would be a good example. I would take 2011 Kidd (old) over Harden in his prime. Why? Proven playoff success. |

Might have missed this in all the player movement. Going to be interesting team to watch next season. Dragic dominates the ball, more than Smith jr. Be interesting to see how Dragic adjusts to Doncic dominating the ball.
