In addition to being an addiction that brings us heartache, anger, and occasional joy, the New York Knickerbockers are also a business. This means there’s an ugly place where 'people' morph into 'players' and then into 'pieces.' And then they are traded and bought out and waived and then they are gone and it is sad.
Today everyone's favorite Ewok satellite, the Forest Moon Maurice Ndour, was waived by the Knicks. Ndour’s contract would be fully guaranteed tomorrow, which makes this a normal move but also feels really shitty. This frees up some money and space and apparently makes good basketball sense.
