Semi unrelated to Knicks
Melo might be waived by Houston
Ending to a non Hall of Fame career
Maybe Lakers /LeBron picks him up
Matchup tonight
Kanter vs Vucevic. Two players on expiring contracts could be on the move by deadline
Robinson vs Bomba. The Future for both teams
I see your point. I just feel he hasn’t won anything in the NBA
Selfish ball stopping player that has ended his career poorly
Stop with the non - hall of fame craziness.
10x all star, 2 time 2nd tean all nba, 4 time 3rd team all nba, scoring champion, 19th in points, 3 time gold medalist and a bronze, college champion..

I think this is the salient point. I don’t think his NBA career deserves admission to the NBA Hall of Fame. Despite his prolific scoring, his deficiencies in nearly every other part of the game drag him down.
But there is no NBA Hall of Fame. It’s the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, and they weigh college and international accomplishments as well.

Exactly. I'm not much of a Melo fan but he will deservedly get in for a long list of accomplishments in the game of racquetball

LOL auto correct haha. Obviously should read Basketball
Don't hate it.
27 points (on 11-of-14 shooting), 16 rebounds, 4assists and 6 blocks
and can knox start next game, he clearly is a player that needs to get into a flow..
frank was part of the reason they were down 20 in the first quarter, he cant score, the starting lineup has 1 scorer in it...
Robinson is all defense..
vonleh is all rebounding..
dotson can hit some 3s and have a nice drive here and there...
hardaway is your scorer...
frank is a defensive point guard, who cant shoot...he needs to be able to knoc down wide open 3s otherwose he is useless...
it is why i want to see mudiay in the starting lineup, he can break down a defense unlike frank...
mudiay,tim, knox, vonleh, robinson
bench frank, trier, dotson, hezonja, kanter
i would really like kanter traded, he kills them defensively
I'd also look into varying the offensive sets a bit. It seems like teams have already picked up on what the Knicks are doing.
he is jist way to passive, even wide open which is part of the reason he misses, he can not break down a defense and when he does get into the paint he hesitates so much he either misses or turns it over...
you see flashes when he puts his head down and gets to the rim but it is few and far between, i think he neeeds to sit a few games...he needs to reset...
it is easier when it is young players for the future and the team is finally building the right way and they actually have their pick
I'm glad the Knicks feel like Frank's defense is good enough to give him a long leash while he tries to develop an offensive game. I hope they continue to deny trade offers for at least another couple of years. I'm also glad that BBI doesn't make personnel decisions for the Knicks or the Giants.

But I wasn't able to watch the game last night. Can anyone tell me why Frank only played 5 minutes?
All three of the Duke freshman looked great. I know it’s against Army so we’ll see how they do against top competition but as a Knicks fan I’ll be watching Duke closely this year. I think if we can get any of those 3 kids we will be in great shape.
If you think Dennis Smith Jr is good you should stop commenting on bball threads.
Great. He and Kanter an score 40 together and give up 60. Zero defensive players are killers unless They are bit bench players. Not a player who to freak out over passing on.

The whole DSJ thing is a dumb hill to die on. By all accounts the Knicks would likely have taken Mitchell if Frank wasn’t on the board. They even tried to trade back for a second first to take him. That’s the guy to be pissed at missing out on.
Frank, though, is not likely to turn into the next Greek Freak or Leonard, that much we know. Let’s face it, he was the pick because Phil didn’t guys who gets triple doubles and jump through the roof...
