In the midst of the NBA trade deadline comotion, the Knicks have been preparing to buy out backup center and former Thunder big man and Stache Bro, Enes Kanter. According to Woj:

Once the Knicks failed to find a buyer to take on Kanter’s $18.6M contract, the writing was on the wall, according to Posting and Toasting:

Honestly, this probably should have already happened weeks ago, particularly once David Fizdale started sitting Kanter in favor of younger centers Mitchell Robinson and Luke Kornet, leading Kanter to complain about it every...single...day. Knicks fans, in their infinite wisdom, started chanting “We want Kan-ter” at home games, and Kanter cheerfully pumped his fists along to the chants. Is it any wonder this franchise has lost 15 straight home games?

Oh, it is magical to be a Knicks fan in these interesting times.

Anyway, simple question:
