I said mills never reached out to him, and that's negative or reality..everyone he reached out to has been reported, there was no report of him reaching out to milos. you tend to try and spin every thing I say into a negative..

You know for a fact everybody Mills has contacted has been reported by the media? Explain how you know this?

Mills is his new whipping boy now that Phil is out. Its expected,

woodson, fisher, and phil, are the only people I have ever complained about...where are they now. you guys bitch about melo everyday all day, where is he now

I have probably defended Melo more on this board then you have. I also don't complain about Melo that much other then state the reality that he and Rose played poorly last season.

And those guys are easier to fire than to move Melo. Means little.

Another short, cap friendly contract. We need a vet to mentor Frank. Milo is the top pg in Europe in his prime. He finally wanted to come play in the States. Did we even talk to him? It would have been a perfect situation in NYC to mentor another Euro player on how to be a professional and play the right way.

and whose going to mentor Milos about the NBA? Maybe he and Frank can watch youtubes?
How stupid would it be to sign this guy to mentor an 18 year old to take his job, and oh by the way, is also from Europe so how is Milo's going to teach frank about the NBA?
Not everything is about the knicks, there are 30 other teams.
You don't even know who mills reaches out to unles its in the media.
Also, you count "Rejection" if a guy don't sign with us after a reach out. Somtimes a team reaches out to see what the price is. How long is the desired contract. Playing time expectation.
If you can get paid the same money from two teams, but one is offering a bigger role, maybe you want that. At the same time, if your nursing an chronic injury, maybe less playing time.
But you just assume Mills is inept.

Logic says if you want a mentor for Frank, an NBA veteran is a good start. Second, one who is totally cool with the idea of grooming a kid to take his job.
I should be more diplomatic but you post some really stupid shyt somtimes, but this is really one dumb ass idea.

I know many outside of pure basketball junkies may not know much about Milo, so allow me to enlighten you a little: 1) He's been playing internationally since he was a kid 2) He was the best Euro player on the market 3) 3 X All Euro League 1st team 4) Some believe he may now be the best passer in the NBA 5) led the Serbian Natl team who almost shockingly upset us in Rio in 2016. 6) He was ranked as high as the 30th best free agent on the market in 2017

Now, as far as your concerns that he's an international player who will be mentoring another young international player with no NBA experience. Let me ask you: How did Pablo Prigioni--who is far less talented and decorated than Milo--adjust to the NBA with the Knicks? Did he not become one of our team leaders and played well? Milo is a lot better, in case you weren't aware. He will have NO trouble adjusting to the NBA, and him coming from Europe, like Frank, can actually be viewed as an advantage rather than a liability, as you think. They have a lot more in common and he could take him under his wing.

Moreover, you do not think Milo has anything to teach an 18 year old kid about playing professionally the right way? Someone who's been playing pro ball since a teenager and has been very successful?

I only asked the question: Did Mills even reach out because it wasn't reported? I didn't say he didn't. And to think that his 6 million dollar contract for 2 years is not a steal of a deal, you don't know much b-ball outside the Association. It's okay; you're not the only one. And then I said if Mills reached out and he chose another destination, that's fine. Just reach out; that's his job.

Lastly, if you don't like my opinions then don't read them. It's that simple. Trust me...I won't be offended in the least.
