    Well remember, people hate on Les too.

    This ultimately falls on the owner. You have someone that isn't even a coach of the team pissing off players like this and he still keeps his job. The Knicks owner flat out sucks which is terrible if you are a Knicks fan since he's the only dude in the organization that can't be fired.

    I think he'd definitely go #1 right now. He's disgruntled and has rattled off a few years of his rookie contract.

    If you really think that, you'd be a fool to not keep him ... and keep him happy. Can't be that hard for the NY ficking Knicks to keep a player happy and lock him up with a max, rookie extension.

    I'm thinking KP has just made it known he doesn't want to be there anymore.

    otherwise it doesn't make sense on all fronts to give up a still prospect as good as he already is. If you're rebuilding, KP is a great piece to start with

    The Suns think Booker is untouchable...
    Do you think if Milwaukee proposed Jabari + Middleton + 17th pick + Brogdon + Monroe for KP + Noah they would have a chance?

    let's hope so lol
    Even though I have a huge player crush on Mids smh from yesterday can't stop salivating over the possibility of having a freak unicorn union.

    And maybe someone would trade a top 10 pick for Middleton. Like the Mavs or the Kings.

    Eh, i can understand that lol, Giannis + Porzingis would be terrific, best duo in the league imo.

    That's like, trading your whole starting unit minus Giannis ;o I could see you offering that, but not Kidd signing on that. I know Brogdan haven't been ALL that flashy, but i like him A whole lot, i don't think i would like to trade him, just in general, not that KP would be bad get.

    Booker is so overrated. He's not on the same level as KP as a prospect. KP has a tremendous defensive potential (something Booker doesn't).

    haha you're right. Thats all the team except Giannis.
    if Kidd doesn't like that he can go resign.
    He already has his power limited. Only one of the owners believes in him and that's why there was just a mess with the GM hiring which was very embarassing. Kidd and Lasry the owner wanted Zanik but the other two owners didn't. In the end when all the other competition was eliminated and there was only Zanik left instead of hiring him they straight up bypassed Kidd and hired someone else out of the blue .Kidd doesn't even have power anymore to influence the GM much less trading.

    IMO the sooner Kidd gtfo the better.

    Dont know how true




    Tim Montemayor‏ @TheMontyShow
    More Source tells me #Suns are hesitant to deal two players and the pick for #Porzingis "won't do two players"


    Tim Montemayor‏ @TheMontyShow
    More I am told #Suns hv said they will not give up Booker in any deal, or two young players, but would trade a vet and young guy for #Porzingis

    If true the Suns are about to get fleeced...like OKC-Rockets Harden deal fleeced.

    What do the Suns have other than Booker that could net them Kristaps and it be a fair deal?

    Do people not understand the potential of this player? We are talking about Durant, his height and skills...Kristaps has that same potential. Could he be Durant, a top 3 player in the world? Unlikely (not a knock, just a very hard thing to do) but he has that potential.

    If I'm the Knicks I fire Phil ASAP and send Kristaps some flowers and a very strong apology.

    I think they're giving 4th and something like Chris and/or Bender ? Just my guess, or maybe Bledsoe as well. Anyhow, Suns will probably pair both Booker and KP, that would be slick.

    Agreed, Bledsoe is kinda useless at this point him, just throw him in the deal and open up more cap space...if they get Porzingis for the 4th pick, Chriss/Bender and Bledsoe would still be a good deal for Phoenix.

    I don't believe that source. If that was so Woj would already be on it. Or at least that radio troll from Phoenix.

    He now said "Bledsoe, Chriss, and the 4th gets it done"...
