Some of your points don’t really make sense to me. The column you mentioned was clearly an opinion/analysis piece, which is different than a pure news article limited to reporting facts only — being an opinion columnist is part of this guy’s job. Furthermore, the reporter was excluded from an earlier meeting in…

I see your point — but that article you referenced, titled “Bondy: Kristaps Porzingis was supposed to be the Knicks’ savior, but they managed to ruin that too,” seems like a pretty accurate reporting of the facts, ma’am, and one that local NYC readers may be interested in.

Good questions! Every team will offer him max. The Knicks can’t offer him more than other teams that are actually good. In regards to promoting himself, most likely he wants to put himself in the conversation as one of the greatest of all time, which means winning championships, which in turn yields huge saturation in…

So, how exactly are reporters supposed to cover team owners that make really stupid decisions?

More than he likes being famous, winning championships, and potentially being seen as one of the best players of his generation?

I always forget that all of these old coaches who look so unathletic actually played basketball.

This is the exact same stupid reason that teams didn’t draft Steph, and more recently didn’t sign Boogie. How did that work out?

Given all available evidence, which of these two scenarios do you think is more likely:

(1) After leaving a really good OKC team to join the Warriors, Kevin Durant now has a secret agreement leave the Warriors to join the Knicks, a crappy team that will never, ever, under any circumstances be as good as that 2016 OKC…

The fact that the Knicks had a history of drafting “European busts,” is not a “good” reason to boo the Porzingis pick. This is because the good or bad performance of any previous European players does not predict anything about the performance of Porzingis, who happens to be European. As such, said Knicks fans did not…

Ah, isn’t your “good” scenario basically that in 3-5 years the Knicks will get to as good of a place as they were right before this trade, with a young, rising superstar under a good contract and a high draft pick to build around.

Here is the actual best scenario for the Knicks if they had a vision to build in three…

God, I love the delusions of Knicks fans so damn much. Every rosy scenario revolves around the fantasy of “this world class player would want to give up everything to play in a great city / media market like New York.” Rather than the patently obvious reality that no superstar will ever willingly waste their prime…

Mmm doesn’t work, warriors would just bring out the ring of protection:

They aren’t “losing” him. They are not paying him.

Rather than “guessing” and trying to make it seem like the number of categories in the acronym is a personal affront to your cognitive abilities, you could just take a sec to google it and actually try to understand why they exist. Even old men can google. Really it would have been faster and more enlightening than…

“If.”

Some day, many years from now, some cyborg will go into double overtime and finally break one of these Klay/Steph records. I just hope that history remembers that they did this shit in three quarters.
