    A lot.

    First there was the issue with Melo hogging the ball. KP was loyal and took his side over Jackson, but I think secretly he didn't like it.

    Second season, same shit more morons not letting him be number 1. Shit coach.

    Then injury and coach Fizdale claiming KP couldn't run, then KP posting a vid showing him sprinting.

    I think KP just had it with the Knicks and I don't blame him, that's some Pelican level mismanagement going on.

    They've pretty much been terrible his entire time there. While giving him no reason at all to trust them to make better decisions consistently enough to put a great team around him long-term.

    You're also forgetting the exit interview he skipped out on with Phil.

    I think it's safe to say the Knicks are the worst managed team in the league.

    They've done absolutely nothing since Ewing left 20 years ago and they have one of the most attractive locations and a heralded history.

    But most rookies always have to endure years of losing before they become consistent winners.

    He's signing the qualifying offer, so they can match him.

    While Dolan and Phil are bad decisions from keeping them relevant.....

    KP was also a bit of a diva at times. He's the type of guy that needs more coddling and Dallas is the perfect place for him.

    Fizdale is a vocal guy and for him to not say anything yet about it probably means a lot to why he was shipped so quickly.

    KP is still going to be a 25 10 player. But he's not innocent in how his camp conducts business.
