Wait I'm lost, are we trading Randle or waiting 2 weeks until RJ is 23 and we no longer have the "he's only 22" line or is Thibs finally fired?

All of the above 😁

I liked what I saw of Rokas in the SL & Euro clips of him I've seen. I'd like to see him compete for a spot on back end of our bench. I see him as one of those savvy Luka/Jokic Euros (Not in terms of talent!) who doesn't jump out at you with measurable athleticism, but seems to know the game and anticipate things in a way that makes up for his so-so athletic ability.

If they can trade him, so be it, but it's hard to dislike someone who hasn't played a second for the Knicks in the regular season.

I was a bigger supporter of Frank than most, but have no desire to bring him back. Deuce fills the limited use defensive stopper role just as well, and has some offensive potential. I defended FN a lot, but at some point he has to step up & assert himself, and I see no evidence that he can do this.

my sentiments exactly, right down to being a big FN supporter. Kept hoping he would flip the switch -- even with Dallas

This guy is trash and the sooner we can convince Dallas to take a swing on this guy in return for getting Frank Ntilikina back in the orange and blue the better. How this guy ever got up to 17 pages astounds me. Is there a 40 page Fran Vasquez thread lurking in the depths of the uk fanpage?

Why?

He's 22 and averaging 15 minutes a game and 5 points.

Statistically he took a big step back this year. I don’t know enough about that league to assume why. There really could be a path for a rotation spot as a backup next to Quickley, but not sure what he brings to this team. He is CAA though so they will treat him right.

Rokas just got yanked after a turn over and foul on defense.

Actually, the turn over was his face away jump shot getting absolutely blocked. Not sure he has any of the physical talents that will allow him to contribute

He's going to keep his talents in Barcelona.
