Then Knicks Team President Steve Mills had an off-season plan to court both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Porzingis wasn’t going to be part of the equation so I believe him. He (and his brothers) made it easy for Perry to not only pull the trigger but also to make it seem like it was solely KP. In the end Mills’ reign was one epic disaster. I wish KP well. Never forget how he took all the booing on draft night and put up an amazing rookie season. Fight the naysayers. 👊

As for Rich Kleiman, I remember when Durant was at his Hamptons home listening to offers for his talents. He didn’t even take a phone call from the Knicks before signing with the Warriors. Yet Mills chased after him again like a clown. Just cause Mills had no shot (as we all know) doesn’t mean he didn’t try because that WAS his 1 and 1A plan. When he failed, that’s when Perry panicked, loaded up the Knicks with short-term contracts called “assets.’ One of which Julius Randle. End of story.

What does "could have been in Indianapolis" mean JJ?!

As a Knick fan, I can acknowledge that the team was not good. But I want players that want to be a part of taking the team to the next level. Felt like Kristaps didn't want to be there and the Knicks were fine granting his wish. My thought was that the Knicks lost with him and could just as easily lose without him. Good riddance.

Steve Mills was a trash GM

I wouldn’t blame anyone for wanting out of that shithole situation. The team was a mess, coaching staff was inconsistent, team was losing, toxic Knick fans booing you on the biggest day of your life. Glad he’s found a good fit for himself with the Celtics.

He gets injured and decides he’s gonna leave us in the trash. Screw him

[@lovedenaro6729]

What about that girl that lived in his building who brought allegations to the knicks? Nobody speaks on that situation
