everytime the Knicks miss out on a player everyone expects them to get, they leak out they didn’t want him anyway

said the same thing with KD. they didn’t view him as a Max contract player, and they only leaked that out once he didn’t accept their max contract offer

They didn’t want to pay him to miss a season with Achilles surgery, a fair request. KD is amazing but what would he have done with RJ Barrett and Randle?

They did want him just not for that package, and it was very smart of them to not. He doesn’t raise their ceiling with the way their roster is constructed and I’m glad they passed. They were better than the Cavs last year also

how does a player not accept a contract that was not offered

Phrase it this way. You want a new car but you already have a crappy Chevy. In order for you to upgrade your car you have to pay the equivalent of a brand new Benz for a Dodge Charger. Are you going to buy that new Dodge charger or would you rather sit on your Chevy and wait to see if you can pay Mercedes prices for a Mercedes?
