No. It means he's opting to play next year on a one year deal to become an unrestricted free agent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Buccaneer 74 Report post Posted January 31, 2019 1 minute ago, ML6 said: This is so weird on so many levels. We went from "KP is concerned about the franchise's future/culture" to "Knicks think KP wants to be moved and will assess deals prior to deadline" to "KP has been traded for some stuff" in like 2 hours. Did he say something horrifically offensive to Knicks leadership? Do they think his injuries are career ending? Have they tampered and already know 2 max FAs are coming there if they clear enough room? I think all of those things are possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Buccaneer 74 Report post Posted January 31, 2019 They can let him walk if his injury is too bad and they have 1.5 seasons to assess that. The risk being he could walk or jack up his price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Neighborhood Bully 266 Report post Posted January 31, 2019 Quote From the Knicks’ perspective, moving on from Porzingis by attaching two unwanted multiyear contracts to him creates some tantalizing free agent possibilities for the franchise. By replacing Porzingis’ cap hold ($17.09MM), Hardaway’s salary ($18.15MM), and Lee’s salary ($12.76MM) with Smith’s modest $4.46MM salary on the 2019/20 books, the Knicks will reduce their commitments by approximately $43.5MM, which should open up enough cap room for two maximum-salary free agents. The Knicks’ only players with guaranteed contracts for 2019/20 are Smith, Frank Ntilikina, Kevin Knox, and Mitchell Robinson. Armed with those youngsters and a likely top-five pick, New York will enter free agency with the ability to potentially land two free agents from a group that includes Kevin Durant, Kemba Walker, Kyrie Irving, and others. new superteam forming?

Some say Durant .. Kanter was saying he knows who it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
