Just to share, a vido of Franck in college.

The more I see him play, the more I think we have to keep him. Can play d, has balls. I would be glad to have a chance to watch him grow as a knick.

Thanks for that link!!! It really was great to watch!!!!
And i can definately understand your feelings!!!!

Good video....

Frank's confidence has got to be sky high right now because he proved to himself he can compete with the likes of Kidd and Jefferson in big games.

Frank's little altercation with Jefferson was possibly the best play of the series because Jefferson called himself screaming on Frank and Frank was gonna make him shut the "f" up.

Frank Williams is officially a Knick.

FrankieBaby!!!!

I think during this playoff series we got a glimpse as to why ISiah didnt trade him for Darius Miles

I totally disagree... since both Marbury and Frank are good offensive players and both can guard bigger players why cant they play together?
Why cant Frank get 25-30 minutes off the bench at the 1 and 2? Why cant Marbury play the 2? Why cant Frank play a Bobby Jackson type role?

Maybe we do trade him but Frank was maybe the only one that showed some real toughness on this team... I find it hard to believe Isiah is looking to deal that away at his first opportunity.

he may have no choice. He is one of the few trading chips we have that other teams may want. Who else do we have that other teams would trade for?

He may have no choice if if wants to strike for a major overhaul next season.

The way I see things is the following : patience.

Step 1 : getting back to the playoffs. We're in (in fact now we're out, but...)
Step 2 : getting things together, bringing back houston, trading the rotten wood (anderson) and the expiring contracts (trybansky, harrington, deke), create a team atmosphere and restore credibility. Btw, use the midlev to attract a soon-to-be-but-no-yet young promising star (for this purpose, call briggs (1-800 IAM-A-GM))
Step 3 : things get serious, and since we did more damages in the season and in the playoffs as well, maybe can we lure some free agents at bargain price (the place where you want to play, you know that song...). Other expiring contracts (penny for instance) can help us bring in big guys.

In the meantime, draft carefully, talent over needs, as usual.

But, see the future as a 2-3 yrs span, not just next season.
We said that we were ready to start from scratch, so we must be ready to wait 2 yrs, mustn't we ?

raven, is there something I should know about FW's name, or are you just spelling "Frank" wrong?

lol. Sorry for the spelling. Frank in France is always (99%) written Franck. that's the only thing I can tell you about it !

Frank Williams was nice back in college, I would like to see more of that from him in the NBA, that behind the back pass was pure sickness.

Frank and Sweetney unfortunately. I just hope they don't trade them along with Deke for the Juwan Howards' of the world. You know the overpaid veteran type.
