NBA Furious With Knicks! MAJOR LOOPHOLE Exploited In KAT Trade… | Knicks News

Leon Rose and the Knicks continue to win as they build out this championship roster. Doing things that most claim would be impossible has become commonplace for a team set to have a magical championship season. Smart decisions have been a factor to all of this but so has taking advantage of what the NBA may not know with its collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Specifically, exploiting a loophole to pull off a blockbuster trade for Karl-Anthony Towns, when a team like NY shouldn’t have been able to do it. In the process, NY has angered the NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

  1. The Dodgers signed Shohei with the biggest contract loophole of all. But nobody is talking about it. Yankee faithful here.

  2. The “NBA” better stfu.. the Knicks did their homework on the CBA… so F them… HAHAHA… they suckered the BS that’s in the CBA… now watch other teams try the same.. but the League will try to close the loopholes before a bunch of teams do what the Knicks did!!!!

  3. GM of the Year!!! Hes done all a GM can do to get us in the very best position to win it all!! This is arguably the very best projected New York Knick roster ever assembled of all time!!

  4. You keep saying Randle wasn't going to sign an extension. He wasn't offered one. The Knicks didn't want him. They have been actively trying to trade him the whole summer you all were saying Randle wasn't going anywhere. He even said "nice to be wanted" in his Wolves press conference. Unbeknownst to him, the Wolves only see him as a salary dump and the player they really wanted is Donte.

  5. Knicks always treat their players good sending them to good situations even looking out for the little guys don’t think that goes unnoticed with players and agents amazing FO

  6. I am glad the Knicks are finally making moves to win a championship. The Lakers and the Celtics used every trick in the books to obtain players.

  7. It’s funny how people are complaining about the Knicks. But, nobody said 💩 about the Miami Big 4 Bron, Wade, Bosh, Allen, and others. Or, the Lakers with Kobe, Shaq, Payton, Malone, etc… Or The Celtics with Garnett, Pierce, Rondo, Allen… FOH… We finally got our Big 3 – 4 and people are crying.

  8. ALL THE KNICKS WANTED WAS A DECENT BACK UP CENTER. AND HE WENT OUT AND GOT ONE OF THE BEST CENTERS IN THE NBA. LEON ROSE SHOWED THE REST OF THE NBA HOW ITS DONE. AND NOW NOBODY LIKES IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  9. THE LEAGUE IS SO MAD AND JEALOUS THAT WE'RE GOING BE UNSTOPPABLE AND A MAJOR THREAT TO THERE PRECIOUS BOSTON THAT IT'S FUNNY I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT NOTHING THE LEAGUE IS SAYING NOR ANYBODY ELSE WE WANT ALL THE SMOKE AND THAT CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆 AND COMING TO COLLECT…LGK‼️‼️ ORANGE AND BLUE SKIES

  10. Leon Rose is a genius
    Plus the draft is rigged how come they never rig it for us
    They rigged it hard for Cleveland when LeBron left
    The league has been screwing us over for years
    They helped us one time in the last 40 YEARS with Ewing
    So it's a damn shame we caught a break because we have Leon Rose
    Championship incoming 💣 within the next 2 years.

  11. Mr Leon Rose and his staff are a bunch of "genius"🧠! Over about the past five Mr Rose has collected more than 22 future draft picks. He has used them as tools in a trade package to get better players to improve the Knicks by being an elite team now & more.
    Who the "HELL" 🔥 says holding too much future draft picks is "Stupid"?!!
    Definitely not, Mr Leon Rose 🌹 and his Knicks staff.

  12. Regardless of you moving on with accepting this trade, one thing you need to admit is that Kat is better than Randle.

  13. Holy shit…Thats what i call the hustle of the year! This season cant come soon enough and i got a funny feeling now that Leon isnt done…NOT BY A LONG SHOT! Its a good time to be a knicks fan! Weve come so far…we were in the trenches since 2014-2015!

  14. Y'all do realize the NBA has no real desire for the Knicks to really win a championship.We are the number one franchise.Or at least top 3 franchise in all of NBA sports without a title in 50 plus years, so.By doing stuff like this they gonna find a loophole so we don't ever win a championship.

  15. E. C. F. E. C. F, let’s Go. Knicks . It’s time to get that ring am waiting for the Big party in the Street of New York City, Peace,

  16. $1, thats beautiful. Tough for Silver, fix it next cba bozo.😂 Good thing were not counting on any draft picks, not like they would ever bless us with the first pick anyway.

  17. Yes this is a tight front office and the main thing of this is Dolan has kept his hands and nose out of the Knicks operations

  18. The Knicks should have paid all of those players different small amount like $2.24 for one guy, $1.47 for the other and $0.33 for the last just to clown the people that constructed the new cba rules.

  19. Getting players paid even G League players etc. is a great look by the Knicks front office. Great info reported by Troy 👍🏾

  20. Shout out to the best front office in the league right now, it's about damn time that we finally got smart people in their front office knowing what they're doing and changing this franchise around every single year

  21. Why are they mad the league makes more cash if the Knicks does well, the Mavs last year sat everyone to rob us of a draft pick where was that energy then

  22. Troy its been a great ride from last season to this a completly different knick team and they are finals bound.
