![]() The elephant in the room, though, is Trier's representation. He signed with Klutch Sports in February. Knicks president of basketball operations Leon Rose comes from CAA, where Klutch CEO Rich Paul got his start in basketball. There has been something of a rivalry between the two ever since. While the Knicks wouldn't waive a player simply based on who represents him, that underlying tension could have played a role in this decision.https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/knicks-waive-promising-guard-allonzo-trier-per-report-claim-former-net-theo-pinson-off-of-waivers/ As he reached 45 days in the NBA, the maximum allowed under two-way deals, Trier was averaging 11.3 points and hitting 39.1% of his 3-pointers.

![]() No need to hate on Pinson.
He's been a very productive player in the G-league. He tore things up in the G-league in 2018-2019 (20.7ppg, 38.5 3pt%, 84.4%, 6.1apg, 5.9rpg). He was a top-10 recruit in 2014 - touted as having elite athleticism and length (~6'6", 6'11" wingspan), but suffered a few injuries in college that kept him from declaring for the draft. The result is a 2017 NCAA champion, 4 year starter at UNC. He's very much a Nets-style project - basically former top prospect with injury history in college that has untapped potential. He's also the type of long player that Knick fans on this board seem to fall in love with. Based on his play in the G-league, his high assist numbers indicate some versatility, ball handling, and passing skills. https://gleague.nba.com/news/theo-pinson-named-nba-g-league-player-of-the-week/
