Whoa! Sorry, hot take right out of the gate there, so let me further explain. The New York Knicks do deserve Kanter, but it’s hard to understand why.
Look at it this way. For years, particularly following the Patrick Ewing trade, the Knicks struggled to find a dominant big man to fill the void.
Save for Tyson Chandler winning Defensive Player of the Year in 2012, plus a few prime years of Marcus Camby, the Knicks finding a good center was like searching for the lost city of El Dorado. The list of guys who have manned the position since the Ewing trade reads a roster of the Island of Misfit Toys.
