Enes Kanter took the last 24 hours to troll the Internet before making his free agency decision.

While most of the NBA world is waiting for LeBron James to make a decision, Enes Kanter has been quietly trolling the masses.

It started at 8:13 p.m. ET on Jun. 28 when he tweeted, then deleted, an emoji of a buck.

Going to the Bucks? Getting bucks? Just set a new high score on Big Buck Hunter? We were left with more questions than answers.

Today, Jun. 29, was decision day for Kanter. He could opt-in to his contract with the Knicks and be paid $18.6 million for next season. Or he could test his value on the free agent market.

Sure, that looks like a scorpion emoji and possible reference to Drake’s new album being fire, but was it really? Maybe it was a sign that Kanter would sign with Toronto, Drake’s hometown. It could mean he was thinking of going to Phoenix. They have scorpions and their nickname is the Suns, which represents fire. How about the Heat?

The one thing that’s for sure about Kanter. Is nothing’s for sure.

Yahoo’s Shams Charania reported that Kanter would indeed exercise his player option to stay with the Knicks. However, a second source called him out.

Who do you believe in this situation: The second most connected guy in the league or the player himself? If you picked the player himself, you have way too much faith in what NBA players say.

Three hours later, Kanter finally made his decision.

MKGA doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but Kanter made his intentions known. He will be staying with the New York Knicks for the 2018-19 season. 

Next: The shape of things

Can he make them great again? That assumes the Knicks were ever great to begin with.
