NFT: Knicks Chat: Frank not returning to the rotation yet

I'm sure today's news didn't sit too well with him. I have a feeling Frank and Dotson believe being drafted by Phil puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to these rotations. There's no legitimate explanation for Hezonja starting over Dotson, for example. I could see them both being a little paranoid about it.

It does. Kind of like how Gettleman jettisoned most of the Reese players.

Berman's recent hit piece (which nailed Knox, too), that Ringer podcast where the Memphis reporter said the Knicks were "out" on Frank, his current exile from the rotation, and now persistent trade rumors. I think his days are indeed numbered. I'm fine with it, as long as they don't just give him away.

Drama is the NBA's biggest product. For me, when there are a lot of 'rumours' floating around the Knicks, that's usually a sign that it's made up BS.

I'm not of the opinion that a lot of stuff leaks from there.

ian begely is usually pretty reliable when it comes to the knicks, my guess someone from the knicks is leaking thia to try and drum up interest

soon, like the next few days soon

the cap then Wall makes a lot of sense. I think people on this board are selling him short. He is a bad fit with Beal and rumor is they do not get along at all which i doubt helps. They also have never got them a descent big. Its all Wall/Beal on the perimeter. Sure he is getting a bit older, but he should still be fine for the rest of his contract. Someone mentioned a team like DET and that makes a ton of sense.

THe Lakers dont really make sense because they still should be saving cap space. I cant imagine the Wiz can turn wall into Ball and either Kuzma or Ingram, but if they could that would be an amazing trade. Ball is a much better fit with Beal. Kuzma and Ingram looked to be on their way to being great nba players and im sure there lack of numbers has a lot more to do with Lebron being there then a regression.

Pretty sure the deadline is today. He'll need to be sent down tomorrow I think.

Then another team is free to sign him, no?


Just cut Kornet or Baker and get it over with.

I'd have to support Ticket Barbecues,James Dolan Pinata's,and Anti Banana Disguises worn at games

no he will have to be sent down, i am sure the knicks would prefer to make a trade rather than eat a contract...

if you can trade frank for a pick and then sign trier it saves you money for next off season

this is a berman special, a young player starts to play well and then he writes an article saying knicks are going to trade him for an overpaid player...

He knows it will garner clicks and rile up knicks fans

Ah, gotcha


Just fucking cut Baker or Kornet. They're useless anyway

He is basically untradeable. It would take an insanely desperate team to make that move.

Knicks trade frank and lee for ariza and bucks 1st..

flip ariza, bucks 1st along with hardaway for wall...

Knicks make trade because they think wall, knox, kp and this years pick can attract durant..

give the reigns to beal who wants the ball in his hands..

they add a proven 3 and d guy in ariza whp is an expiring contract..

get out of wall's contract and a future 1st

and also give a 1st for Frank?

Wall won�t mix well with the young guys
His contract is horrendous and he gets hurt
He would kill the Knicks just like Melo did

Can we move Hardaway without attaching picks?

Would a top 10 protected 2020 first do it?

I don�t think people realize how bad his contract is and will be. I�m a fan of wall- an elite passer. But you cannot trade for that contract with the Knicks current situation. He eats up close to half your cap....

Trading Frank right now would be nuts. Just look how many teams are interested. That should tell you to keep him.

.

stephen a claims he would choose knicks over lakers at this moment but said it goes back and forth..

also i dont know what it means but he basically threw cold water onto the rumors of him to lakers but qhen haybes comes out and says the knicks are a viable option nothing from kd. In fact he gives haybes an exclusive...

interesting...

They were down 20+ in the third quarter.

when does the whole culture thing go away for the nets?

Just saw him reference the Wall stuff on Twitter.

Today was the day. Haven't seen anything announced.

I�m praying for this. This guy is an absolute beast on both ends of the floor. Little younger than Durant too. Kawhi is number one on my list.

hahn mentioned him, and chris sheridan keeps saying kawhi is the guy going to new york...

i personally think no one is coming

Wall stuff is complete nonsense - trades of that significance will only be explored after the smoke clears on free agency (if the Knicks strike out). That's the proper course of action.

Hahn agrees KD isn't leaving Golden State to join another superteam - KD and his people know one championship at the Garden raises his status in the game to all-time great levels, but the Knicks have to do their part and show some signs of life with these young players.

Good point. Nothing was announced.

Look really good. Lebron is just unbelievable. The team is 15-9 and he's playing out of his mind. And it's not like the young guys have made any big jumps.

It was never clear if it was possible, but if it was, the Lakers screwed up big time not trading Ingram for Leonard. I know he's still young, but I just don't see him becoming an all star player.

I wish Lebron got another chance against this warriors team with a squad that had a chance. 2016 was really the only year teams were close in talent....

the real deadline is essentially tonight's game. If they didn't add him to the active roster yesterday all that means is he reverts back to the d-league today, so they will have to call him up before tonight's game making today really the deadline if they want to get him active today.

Where is this Kawhi to NY talk coming from? I haven't seen or heard that anywhere.

you can either get Zion or KD this summer (on a 2+1 deal). Who do you choose?

Not true. Cavs would have beaten them in 2015 during the pre-KD era with a healthy Kyrie and Love. IMO.

KD.

KD

but he certainly doesn't need to win here to be elevated to all-time great status. He'll be in the hall of fame as it is, and if Lebron doesn't exist, we're talking about KD as the best player in the NBA right now.

why would it-- you lose your closer, then you cant close.... what does that have to do with culture? has to do with talent which is still a work in progress when the best player is out and another start been out for a bit.
you sound like Bondy

if the Knicks are unable to find trade partners for the players that they are willing to trade at this point in time. In my opinion, players like Lee and THjr are good but their contracts make them a net negative. I would assume that other teams are asking the Knicks to attach picks which they are likely unwilling to do. Of course this is all just wild speculation.

If it's true though and assuming that the Knicks don't want to cut anybody, maybe for depth in case of injury, I wouldn't mind if Trier had to go down to the G-League for the moment. Knicks still have the rest of the season to figure out a way to sign him and it should force Frank back into the rotation.

First, his contract is toxic waste. Second, he looks like a guy who has mentally checked out of any focus on his career. And the complete unraveling of his team has to fall on him as the franchise player.

Why would that be a thing to trade for?

My point exactly. In 2015 the Cavs were missing Irving and Love and therefore not close in talent.

Vernon Carey Jr. committed to Duke...and I feel old. I remember Vernon Carey Sr. as an OT at the U. He was in the same draft class as Eli!!!

His story today has the Knicks record at 7-18, rather than 8-17. As a pro-tanker, I take great offense to such things.

Openly mocking Fizdale's comments about Hezonja's "improved defense" on Twitter.
