Kenny Smith said somehting interesting the other night. Said the league has caught up to him and are no longer leaving him open for those jumpers. Frye is intelligent enough to recognize this and I'm sure he'll try to deversify his game. Intelligent is one thing, but is he good enough to expand his game? Maybe maybe not. Maybe Frye is a little overhyped at this point. If thats the case, should the Knicks look to move him while he's still hot and before is slump is prolonged and his value drops. When I say move him, I don't mean move him just for the sake of trading him. I'm talking about trading him for players who already prove that there are keepers in this league. Players like Artest (indy will listen if we offer Frye) Bosh (Toronto wants to keep him but if Bosh makes it clear he's not resigning, they might listen) Lewis (opting out of his contract in seattle and Frye would cost them nothing)

What do you guys think?

Hold up....so people get up on his jump shot in the last few games and it's time to trade the girl? Come come now. He has just a handful of games to prove that he is unable to adjust to this in the NBA and now it's time to look to trade him?

BTW, Bosh isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Pardon me, a bad chick came on my tv screen at the same time I was typing

I'm saying we should trade him, just asking for opinions. Smith made a valid point and One of the NBA insiders from ESPN also said he thought Frye is a little overhyped at this point and didn't believe the knicks can or should build around him. I

ESPN insider's are full of BS!.

What Smith said was that the difference between good young players was that they will learn the league, before the league will learn them and that is what Frye and the coaching staff are having to deal with at this time. Frye will be okay, he is a smart kid, he will along with the coaching staff will get learn how to deal with it.

He needs more PT.

Well, my opin. is that I don't know if he can or can't add to his game. Adapt.

But trading him probly is a bad idea.


The thing is though..........Ron Artest was born to play in the Garden. If it took Frye to get Artest and maybe a minor piece, I'd roll the dice b/c to be perfectly honest with you, I don't like Frye and Curry together......not enough defense, not enough rebouding.

No one I'd trade Frye for someone as unstable as Artest.

yeah that is the unfortunate problem with starting Curry and Frye. they've both weak defenders but we have anyone who can do a better job so there's no choice.

that's not an excuse...

who do you want to start old man Antonio Davis? or do you want Isiah to bring in a big man who plays great defense and is a little younger? Because no one on this current roster is capable and Jerome is a foul machine

I think I'd do it.

I just don't like having Frye and Curry together in the frontcourt.

Offense doesn't championships.

Defense does.

That.....or having the best player in the league.

We're probly not gonna have either the rate things are going.

Artest is a ticking time bomb, you have to be just as crazy has he is to wanna include Frye in a trade for Artest, you don't trade an Assest like Frye for an unsure thing like Artest.
The only player I would even think about trading Frye and/or any of the other kids is for Lebron, and we all know that won't happen, so I would then stick with the kids and take my chances with developing Lee/Ariza or Qdog as our SF, until someone like Lewis comes along. The kids have a better upside mentally, physically and not to mention they are alot cheaper than guys like Artest.
Getting rid of bad contracts to shave the salary and developing the kids should be the main focus of this team, not taking anymore chances on player's like Artest or one's who have very bad contracts, I would unload Marbury if I had chance for expiring or two yr contracts and draft picks.
Let Artest infest some other team with his crazy ways!.

I also wanted to add that Curry hasn't been on the court long enough to gain any chemistry with any one including Frye, whether it's on defense or offense, and Frye is still learning he also gets some bad call against him or is put in bad position defensively because someone else( Rose) misses their defensive assignment and Frye is the last line of defense, Frye just tries to defend the basket even when he is not in a good position to make a clean block, so it results in a foul. This has happened many times, so I wouldn't fault Frye so much this whole team is lackadasical on defense which puts the pressure on someone else to do something.
