I'll translate what one of my friends just said about KP, when I asked what's up (he's much more into sports, and he read your comment):
"It's clear, that everyone's fed up with Phil, cuz, since he's in NY, .... has hit the fan for the Knicks. Bad decisions again and again. This years forecast is grim too. Everyone hoped, that Phil would drag the stars to NY, but noone wants to come near. Noah's contract is a piece of art too.. You'd have to agree, that the owner is to blame, after last year's scandals Phil's still in place. Anyhow, they won't swap KP, that would be GM's and the owner's suicide, at leats this year. Sport's commentators are already joking, that that would be stupid enough for NY to do. I don't believe they will. And about KP - he should stop running his mouth and play the next two seasons until the big contract well. The folks expected a bit more from him this year. If last season you could have gambled who's better - KP or CAT, then this season there are no questions."

Your friend could be... well - ME.
Bulls-eye.

Most of us here don't blame KP for even one thing he's said. Yes, it's always best to shut-up and play, but the two maroons he has to put up with are a whole lot more than I could ever dream to have patience with.
They're idiots, and I'm pretty sure that one of them (Phil) is going senile.
I never did like him very much, even when he played for the team. I wish he'd leave now.
