Its ok toronto clearly doesnt need kawhi
He should have held a grudge IMO. The knicks waited until the very last second to sign him to a real deal. And they supposedly said they would draft him. But good for him for being the bigger man. I'm glad he finally got a real contract.CameronCrazy06 said:Knicks sign Trier to a two year deal
So much for a fringe nba player holding a grudge

How is that illogical?? Loads of guys get pissed for a team not "valuing" them how they think they should be valued.CameronCrazy06 said:This is so fucking illogical haha
He was an undrafted free agent coming out of college. By that logic, he should be pissed at every single team for passing on him. The Knicks gave him a chance (among other teams perhaps), and he chose to go there. If he was holding a grudge for them not drafting him, why would he have signed there in the first place?DJT said:How is that illogical??

There's even more examples of a guy who gets pissed that teams passed on them in the draft.
That is logic. He could have possibly scored a bigger deal in the offseason than the contract he got too.
He was undrafted because the Knicks said he was their guy but then he wasn't.CameronCrazy06 said:He was an undrafted free agent coming out of college.

Teams wait until the deadline to make deals official all the time. What if he blew his knee out right after they guaranteed the contract when they could have waited? This league is a business.
And even then, he's averaging 12 points per game on one of the worst teams in the league. He's not good, and he had no leverage in a situation like this. Hence why he happily signed on the dotted line when he was offered any sort of a guaranteed contract.
What about the other 29 teams? It's not like he told them, "don't bother drafting me, the Knicks already told me they'd pick me."DJT said:He was undrafted because the Knicks said he was their guy but then he wasn't.
And good point about why would he choose to go there, but they could have been the only team to offer him the 2-way, or he could have looked at their roster and been like oh I can get minutes there.
And people get signed to deals all the time and have injuries. He could have been cut if he had a injury even with a contract. Teams do that all the time.
Again i'm not saying he should have thought this way, and its obvious that he didn't which you point out. But I think it would have been justifiable if he did.
Well he wasn't a great prospect. There may have been not many other teams looking at him. Who knows.CameronCrazy06 said:What about the other 29 teams? It's not like he told them, "don't bother drafting me, the Knicks already told me they'd pick me."
He wasn't projected that high even before that, but those certainly didn't help.Paulius said:He was a projected first round pick
Didnt get drafted because he failed 3 drug tests in college
Ehhhh i'm not sure thats why he didn't get drafted. I think teams probably saw him as an inefficient chucker who does little else.Paulius said:He was a projected first round pick
