Kyle O’Quinn was a beloved member of the New York Knicks. But he wasn’t sticking around in New York to spend another season playing for nothing. O’Quinn told Charlie Clifford of WISH-TV, “I wanted to play for something more than next year’s draft.”
That’s decidedly harsh and a little petty, but the man has a point. The Knicks have little to play for next season other than letting young guys gain experience. Despite what Knicks Twitter will tell you after the team’s first two summer league games, this team won’t be anywhere near the playoff picture.
