You'd hope! He's always been a NY guy. This was the rumor before he even put a Celtics jersey on. I'm still waiting for you to prove that there is bad blood, but I know you can't so round and round we'll go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the Knicks truly believe they're in on Kawhi (and to this point, nothing has indicated that Kawhi is interested in the Knicks), they're going to go with the guy who commits to them. The worst thing the Knicks can do is wait on KD/Kawhi who they realistically don't have much of a shot to sign (moreso Kawhi than KD) and risk losing everything. Unless Kawhi tells them no, then yes, they'd wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kawhi told the Lakers he was still considering them, would you want the Lakers to go ahead and sign Jimmy Butler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's some miscommunication here. What do you think the odds of Kawhi signing with the Lakers are? Odds with the Knicks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds with the Knicks? It doesn't matter what I think or what random rumors I read, it matters what players are telling the teams. Kawhi was simply an example for free agency waiting on the top players. Not top 5 or 6, but the best of the best. If he tells the Knicks they're still in it, they'll wait for him and won't just throw a max at Jimmy Butler. Same with the Lakers. Same with the Nets. Same with the Clippers.

But if you're not realistically going to have a shot at signing Kawhi (and the Knicks aren't supposed to be one of the teams he's seriously considering), why would they risk everything? On the off chance that he goes off the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the off chance that he goes off the board? Again, they aren't supposed to be one of the teams because of rumors you are reading. You have no idea if that's true or not. Should the Knicks (or any team) just trust ESPN and make their free agency decisions based on how they report? If Kawhi tell the Knicks he won't sign, then they'll move on. If he tells them they're in it, then they'll wait. You are overcomplicating this by trying to add unsubstantiated rumors. My point is based on what the player is hypothetically telling the team, not what us as fans are reading on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying if Kawhi or Durant told those teams they were considering them, then those teams would wait. That's it. That's all I'm talking about. I'm not going back and forth with you about where players are rumored to sign and who they're gonna team up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm done here. You aren't processing anything. He's all yours again, @MookieMonstah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
