原标题：老板不好吓退球员？纽约尼克斯吸引不到球星的原因在这里
前尼克斯队的埃内斯·坎特
参考消息网9月10日报道 外媒称，一段时间以来，纽约尼克斯队一直在力争让一位明星进入他们的大名单，或者保留他们球队中的明星。
据雅虎体育9月10日报道，2018年的夏天是球队挣扎的最佳例证，他们失去了拉脱维亚篮球运动员克里斯塔普斯·波尔辛吉斯，尽管拥有很大的转会费空间，却没有找到任何重要的自由球员。
前尼克斯队的大个子埃内斯·坎特表示，他在联赛中与球员交谈过这背后的原因，他们是害怕球队老板詹姆斯·杜伦，不想冒险为纽约尼克斯效力。
他说：“没有多少人知道这一点，但球员知道。”坎特在社交媒体上说：“我知道他们在说什么。我不会责怪任何人。我在尼克斯队度过了一段美好的时光。但是我和其他队友交谈过，他们总是说，‘了不起的城市，一切都很好，除了它的主人’。”
坎特曾为尼克斯队效力一个半赛季，2019年2月份他从球队离开加盟波特兰开拓者队，同年7月他与波士顿凯尔特人队签署了一份为期两年、价值1000万美元的合同。
虽然纽约尼克斯占据着这个全美最好的地理位置和篮球市场，但是自2012-13赛季以来，球队一直没有进入季后赛，这是球队在NBA历史上最差的表现了。
在连续不断的斗争中，坎特明白为什么一个明星不想在这样的队伍中浪费自己的最佳岁月。而且，当他们用他做交易时，他知道是时候离开了。当他最终被交易时，他感到非常高兴。
他说：“我的任务是尽可能表现良好，因为所有球迷都花那么多钱来观看比赛。每场比赛都是这样，即使我们输了。我猜我的问题是我太想赢了。有些不合情理的地方是，他们告诉我，我年纪太大了，我当时26岁。最后，他们交易得到了一个比我大四到五岁的人，这显然是说不通的。”
The New York Knicks have struggled to land a star in free agency for quite some time — or even retain the stars they do have on their roster.
Last summer was a prime example of the organization’s struggles， having lost Kristaps Porzingis and failing to land any major free agent despite having an insane amount of cap space available.
Former Knicks big man Enes Kanter said on Sunday that players he talks to around the league are simply scared of owner James Dolan， and don’t want to take a chance playing for his team.
“Not many people know that， but players talk. From different teams， they talk，” Kanter said on Bleacher Report’s The Full 48 podcast. “I’m not blaming anybody. I had an amazing time with the Knicks. But other teammates that I talked to or if they’re on different teams， they always said， ‘Amazing city， MSG is amazing everything is so good， but the ownership.’ They would just keep saying， ‘But the ownership.’ … Some of the players I guess are just scared to come here and don’t even want to deal with that.”
Kanter played for the Knicks for a season and a half， and was released from the team in February — something he was thrilled about. The 27-year-old finished out the year with the Portland Trail Blazers， and then signed a two-year， $10 million deal with the Boston Celtics this summer.
Despite the Knicks playing in both the best area and the biggest market in the country， the Knicks are losing constantly. The team hasn’t reached the postseason since the 2012-13 season， and only has four seasons with winning records this century — the worst performance in the league.
With the constant struggles， Kanter understands why a star wouldn’t want to waste his prime playing years in the organization. And， when they traded for and then started DeAndre Jordan over him， he knew it was time to leave.
When he finally was released， he “was very happy.”
“My job is to go out there and play as hard as I can， because all the fans are paying so much money to come and see the game. Especially at the Garden. It’s packed every game， even if we’re losing，” Kanter said. “My problem I guess was that I wanted to win. Something that didn’t make sense is they told me I’m too old to play， and I was 26， and I was like， ‘That doesn’t make sense.’
“Then they bring a guy in four or five years older than me and they start playing him， I’m like， ‘This doesn’t make sense.’”
