Thats not a rumor they clearly said they wanted to play together. The Knicks were on the list that part is no rumor. At the tiem they were lying about wanting to team up but thats clearly a lie. Here in 2020 after the fact you have serveral teammates saying they considered the knicks but the knicks were being run by idiots. Why would jared Dudley randomly lie and say they were thinking aobut going to the Knicks lol Regardless this is still not the point which youre still missing.
Nah New Orleans planned on keeping him regardless. Like I said even if thr draft didnt happen and Lakers were unlicky Davis was going to Lakers end of story. He is a FA in 1 year he already said he will only resign with LA. No team will give NO more than Ball, Ingram, Hart and picks. Doesnt matter if those picks were lotto or not. KD didnt need to turn Knicks into contenders he just needed to make them a better team. Are you telling me Bobby Portis was expected to make Knicks into a contender? You make zero sense. Look its pretty simple knicks have 40M to spend they can use it on injured KD or they can use it on Julius Randle, Reggie Bollocks and Bobby Portis. Those are the only two choices they had and both YOU and Knicksndecided Bobby Portis and co. was better than injured KD. I told you a year ago that was dumb no way in hell KD was worse than Bobby Portis and co. I was right, you were wrong. End of story.
