LAS VEGAS — Knicks president Steve Mills and GM Scott Perry brushed off Kyle O’Quinn’s dig at the Knicks but didn’t do a lot to dispel the big man’s premise.
After signing last weekend with Indiana, O’Quinn said he rejected a similar Knicks offer because he “wanted to be a part of something bigger than next year’s draft. I just felt like at this point, I owed it to myself.”
That insinuated the Knicks were tanking the 2018-19 season.
“Kyle is Kyle,” Mills said Tuesday. “He’s obviously — it felt like it didn’t come out the way he wanted it to come out, knowing Kyle.
