That we need more Frank!!!
Or just more Frank threads!
Can never have enough of those?
Jump ahead to 2023/24 season...Frank makes All Star Game with some Western Conference team...various threads appear bemoaning us letting him walk or stating we should trade multiple #1's for his return...but then he troll tweets the Knicks and a hate thread appears...and then....

You'd be lucky to get a 2nd rounder for him. What makes you think he is an all star? Man plays his best without the ball touching him.

Tight game against the Pacers. Taj gets hurt. We mount a comeback after being 16 down. Frank is in his 2nd game back. Thibs subs him in at the very end of the game when Pacers got the ball and we need a stop. Frank gets a steal then dribbles out the clock until they finally foul him. Then he calmly sinks the free throws for the win. Check mate. Gotta love that

IQ, Frank, RJ, Randle, Mitch.
Bench: Burks, Rivers, Obi, Noel, Knox.
So you really think adding frank to the rotation will increasing our scoring by and speed up our pace?
I would like to see him get Bullocks minutes
we are 6-4 with bullock
2-7 without him
lol... Bullock has started 15 games
We are 4-0 in games that Ntlikina played more than 6 mins.
I’m not gonna say we don’t need an upgrade at SF, but I think DR has been a revelation in the first unit. I like the youths IQ Ntlikina Toppin together. Might like to see Knox get unlocked there a bit also, but he has to earn those minutes.
You know I gonna spin wit it

FrNk needs to score more. If Frank can get to that 12 point a game level he should replace Bullock in the starting 5. That is long term
Short term he has to not get hurt. He is the exact player a a guy like Thibs would trust but he has to earn it. He has played well enough to earn a few minutes from Burks and Bullock. Somehow get him in there for 3 minutes per quarter or so. He hasn't earned anyone's spot yet.

His biggest issue has been injuries that put him two steps back after two steps forward. The last couple of games are a first step out of the dog house or quarantine or whatever Thibs had going there. I truly believe if Frank can stay healthy he will be a significant contributor. But based on history I will be hopeful but not in denial.
