Opens up more playing time for Lance Thomas Though with Trey Burke and Frank not sure where Mudiay gets minutes. Definitely has more upside than McDermott

Lance Thomas is my least favorite Knick. An overrated defender and horrible in offense.

but he will get minutes and he will help this team in the long term.

We need to lose as many games as possible.

Also one of the worst rebounders I've ever seen , times his jumps as poorly as possible and is low key very soft.

claims the Magic wanted Frenchie for Payton.

Since he apparently plays for Orlando, that would explain why. I don't think I've watched an Orlando game since Howard left.

haaahahahaha...you're not serious, are you?

Yeah because Trey Burke hasn�t been playing like our best PG. Oh, he�s another Jimmer. Clown.

The Universe is Amazing

with the really annoying hair? You know, the front pony tail that goes over his face....him. For that reason alone I don't want to watch him.

I feel like he always plays well vs the knicks though.

I would trade Lee and go with a line-up of
PG - Mudiay/Jack
SG - Frank/Burke
SF - Hardaway
PF - Beasley
C - Kanter

Jack does not do anything long term for us, but he would at least provide a veteran presence on 2nd unit

I know people are upset about WHG, but he�s a dinosaur out there in today�s league.

has earned minutes. He's played well.

from the KP draft have been traded already, ha.

Come on knicks get me something for KOQ and Lee and this could be a solid day.

Ntilikina in a trade for Dennis Smith.

Hey, maybe we can find more Michigan stiffs and really make a major push for the #1 overall pick!

4 feet tall, he isnt playing SG. If we dont trade Jack they shoudl release him.

Guard rotation should be
Mudiay/Burke
THJR/Frank

and if they want to get some minutes for Dotson then THJR plays some SF.

and if you give up Ntilikina, or anything else of value, you're pretty much locked into signing Payton on a 4yr/$50 type of deal. This is a much better alternative.

Man, I really like this.

He can�t shoot.

Grizz have had second-round pick offers for Tyreke Evans for weeks now. Have half an hour to decide whether they�ll take them.

No issues at all...

Came in the league at 19. He can definitely turn into something for us. He still has 3-4 years of development before he starts to hit his prime years.

He's 19 years old.

I guess a pair of 2nd's for Willy doesn't seem so bad now

should be dealt. As much of a good guy as he is.

No, it does. Better off holding onto him and giving him minutes.

Would Perry go back to Orlando and give up Ntilikina' for Peyton?

Really liked him in the draft. Big, athletic, unselfish distributor. Will turn 22 next month.

He did flash during some games but was fairly inconsistent. But remember, he was basically a HS kid coming into the NBA. Maybe was asked to do too much too early.

Nice job, every if he turns into Frenchie insurance. Gives us a nice, super young PG tandem who each bring a different skill set to the court, and more importantly, are pass first guys.

And still he can�t shoot.

but it'll suck. Grew up in NY, grew up a knicks fan, family still in the area. Shame he couldn't be a part of a winning team here.

I reeeeeally hate the impatience.

Meanwhile Mudiay has not spoken to the Denver media all season. Should be interesting. lol

When Kyrie decides to come home?

Carl, see the bolded text.

A #1 not a forced #2

Good, that makes me happy.

As a 1. Don�t see him being a 2 at all (except he can guard 2�s).

Emmanuel Mudiay is currently posting career-highs in FG%, 3PT%, and FT%.

He�s still just 21 years of age.

Are PGs. Mudiay has a better handle (at present) and can really push the ball up the court. Good finisher. More polished offensive player. Frank's a better defender.

There may be times where both are on the court, but neither one is a go-to scorer (as yet). I think we will see Mudiay starting with Frank coming off the bench.

Not with Jarrett Jack still on the roster

for a 2nd according to WOJ. Has to be more to that right?

I guess teams just assume they can fleece the Knicks. Once that's off the table, they make a reasonable trade.

wanted Frank but settled on a 2nd rounder? Strange if true.

Quote:

These are the offensive play types Emmanuel Mudiay has shot the ball from most often this season The percentile represents where his Points Per Possession ranks (100% is best) P&R Ball-Handler: 37% (Avg) Spot-up: 34% (Avg) Transition: 25% (Below Avg) #Knicks�

Again, Mudiay is now about the age that most kids are getting drafted out of college. He was basically a HS kid who was asked to run an NBA team, missed 14 games his rookie year with an ankle and never quite settled into the #1 role.

Ton of potential and I'm surprised they moved on from him. Unselfish kid by all accounts.

Apart from Jokic, who are you distributing the ball to? Who are the leaders on that team?

and mudiay at that cost. Increase your chances someone works out, haha.

PHX loves nothing more then trading and trading for PGs. Just in the last couple years they have had what Dragic, Bledsoe, Knight, IT, and Elf? Im sure im forgetting someone
