If you were a Knicks fan at this time last year, you were probably not a very happy person. The franchise just had a summer where there biggest acquisitions were Samuel Dalembert and Jose Calderon via trade. Therein were two players who were then a decent amount past being relatively good basketball player in the NBA. Calderon and Dalembert were thirty two and thirty three, not the premiere age of players you want to be adding to your team on the offseason. Both of them had their best seasons years ago. Both even last year would have be added to a team just for depth not as a big piece of a rebuilding team.
Well it is that time again, the time when the professional basketball players get paid. Well not exactly that time, it is actually the time when they are free to negotiate new terms as to how much they are paid.
What a tough and terrible situation Kristaps Porzingis was put in being drafted by the New York Knicks. He entered into a franchise that has been mired in misery for years. The Knicks are a franchise that is basically the laughing stock of the rest of the NBA. They were picking from their highest position in the draft in years and they elected to take the single biggest question mark coming to the NBA.
