Kemba Walker bought out by OKC, signs with Knicks for $8 million; Fournier deal confirmed to be for just 3 years

OKC’s Sam Presti and Walker’s agents at Excel Sports, Jeff Schwartz and Javon Phillips, worked through buyout on the two years, $74M left on Walker’s contract in recent days. Walker gets a dream homecoming to Madison Square Garden to further solidify New York’s backcourt.

Somehow the Knicks are doing smart things, and I don't like it.

Knicks getting all these guys to give them team options is quite a coup for them.

Team options are front office gold. Well maybe more silver, but still. https://t.co/yahps8PJ2v— CelticsLife.com (@celticslife) August 4, 2021

Kemba Walker's biggest issue in Boston wasn't his play, it was that his play wasn't worth his max contract.
