The terms of the Knicks offer are unknown but Quickley’s agent, Raymond Brothers, alluded to his side’s stance by tagging an Instagram story with “Never sell out” just minutes after Monday’s deadline passed.
“Contract, no contract: I’m here for the season,” he said. “I’m here for the team to try to be the best version that I can each and every day. To try to dominate. That’s why I’m here.”Quickley, 24, is now easier to trade on an expiring contract. “It’s the business side of basketball. That’s what has his agent for. And then hopefully at the end of the year, we can get back to it,” Thibodeau said. “So, I’m hopeful it all works out. We love Quick. So, have a great season and then we sit down and we talk again.
“Just because one door opens up for someone else doesn’t mean you’re not gonna get your blessing as well,” Quickley said. “So whoever gets paid, you want everyone to be successful. Never hate on nobody, cause your door, your time might come.”
