Already rumors that KP was benched at halftime. We know why.

end of the day KP wanted out of a very dysfunctional pre Leon knicks.
He admitted to being immature about it. He was young, Injured, stupid, and we don't know all that happend behind the knick curtain. He played 186 games over three seasons, sat his 4th with injury. He as an Allstar his 3rd season before he got hurt.
Im guessing knicks wanted protections and he wanted that money. His horse riding agent, also inexperienced mucked it up. All he while knicks changed coaches, how many times he was here? It was a mess until Perry took over when Mills was shown the door and Leon was hired in 2020. KP last played here in 2018.
He is 29 now and my opinion is he might be a very different person now. He is a fragile player and all teams that pay him know this. You get what you get which is not 65 plus games. You get an very very good shooter with range and can defense the rim with length. He is not the unicorn and does not act like that anymore.
Last laugh? So far it was a divorce that has favored both. We moved on and the cap space was in part used to sign randle. He is paid very well for a 3rd-4th option and has a ring with a nice salary history also. Seems to say mostly the right things in public and not getting into fights or having issues off the court.
Im sure fans will boo him in MSG but not all will. Its all good if both parties succeed. Knicks move on, who cares about KP. He has his. Time for us to get ours.
