Recently, the famous journalist woj released the news: the Knicks have reached an agreement with the team's four-time All-Star guard Kemba Walker not to play this season, and Walker will make every effort to prepare for the 22-23 season.
Knicks President L-Ross said in a statement:
"We fully support Walker's decision not to play for the remaining seasons and he will use this time to prepare for next season. Hopefully he will have long-term success on the pitch, that's still our top priority. ”
After this news came out, it attracted the attention of the media from all sides, not how important Walker is to the Knicks, but the operation of these fans of Knicks executives, which is puzzling.
The well-known sports media "Legion Hoops" retweeted a tweet saying: "The Knicks did not send Kemba away before the trade deadline, just to let him sit on the bench to watch the ball for the rest of the season? What are you doing? ”
The famous journalist Keith Smith also complained: "Brother, then you might as well buy him out and let him go to a team that can play." ”
The topic of "Knicks and Walker" has also been on the national hot search, and everyone is complaining that there is a problem with the Knicks' operation.
At the end of the season, Walker averaged 25.6 minutes in 37 starts, had 11.6 points, 3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 0.7 steals, shooting 36.7 percent from three-point range.
Halfway through, Thibodeau gave Walker a chance, but his performance never gained the trust of coach Thibodeau, and Walker often entered the DNP's list.
Walker is making $8.73 million this season and $9.17 million next season, and now he's struck an agreement with the team to prepare for next season in advance, but I think it's a sign that Walker will be traded in the offseason.
In fact, Walker is only 32 years old this year, still has a battle, since Thibodeau does not like it, it is really better to buy him out and let Walker choose a team he is willing to stay.
There are still many teams on the market that need defenders, and Walker should not worry about the next home.
By the way, in the past, everyone said that Wall and Walker were "two brothers", but now the fate of these two brothers is the same
Leaders, what do you think?
