From the Post..

After a strong start in New York in his first partial season, Smith slumped badly this past year, wracked by an array of injuries and the early-season death of his stepmother. He also was on the trading block.

However, Smith is believed to have a fan in new head coach Tom Thibodeau, who was high on Smith when he came out of N.C. State, according to SNY. Smith has been working with Thibodeau during the OTAs the past two weeks.

Thats bad news for frank fans

Why? I have never gotten these types of child'ish comparisons. I'm a Knicks fan and want both of those guys to succeed and become high level players. Same with Knox. But at some point you become aware of what you have.

This is not an either or situation; you don't like Frank and therefore hate DSJr or vice versa.

DSJr has been blessed with an ungodly level of physical talent and he seems to just piss it away instead of putting in the hard work

I don't like frank on the knicks, that's what some of you don't realize, he deserves to be on a championship caliber team in a small role that suits him where he can take his time and develop..Frank isn't a thibs type guard and will surely get screwed again

We on the other hand, cant afford a slow rebuild, the last 2 regimes tried that and loss 100's of games and got fired, I dont want that, but if we go that rout again, we will be looking at a new regime in 24 months..

“1248” comes home his wife is painting a room:

Rainman: Hi hon. what you doing?
Mrs 1248: I’m baking a cake, what does it look like?
Rainman: Painting the room, duh! I don’t like that color.
Mrs 1248: I painted it two years ago and you said the same thing. What color do you like?
Rainman: a color that makes me happy?
Mrs 1248: Ok, what is that?
Rainman: One that makes me feel good, pleases to the eye, is fashionable, timeless and says “Winning”.
Mrs 1248: OK, red, Blue?
Rainman: one that I wake up to that says “Good morning”! Color that speaks to me? Not this one!
1248: You tell me you don’t like what we have, but can’t tell me what you want!
Rainman: That color is a low motivator, it depresses me, does not inspire!
1248: Should I keep painting new ones every year or so until your happy?
Rainman: I like other people’s house colors.
Mrs 1248: I did that before, you did not like it here!
Rainman: Maybe I just don’t really like the way you paint. You have not painted a nice color for me.
Mrs Rainman: YOu wont’ tell me what you like, just what you don’t like.
Rainman: I like other people’s house colors.
Mrs 1248: You told me this before.
Rainman: Paint it a color that makes me happy!
Mrs1248: You drink any water today?
Rainman: That color would look on someone else’s house.
Mrs 1248: Name one.
Rainman: “French Vanilla”
Mrs 1248: Thats the color I’m painting over!
Rainman: Looked better on Mikes house.
Few days later

Mrs 1248: I hired Mikes painter, you like his house, yes?
Rainman: super!
Week later:
Mrs Rainman: These are the colors from the new painter. He is from Philly!
Rainman: but he never painted before!
Mrs 1248: Yes, he sold paint, now he has guys working for him. Salt Lake City I think.
Rainman: I don’t like any of the colors.
Mrs 1248: But I have shown you the new choices yet.
Rainman: Oh, why can’t we just go with what mike has?
Mrs Rainman: Ok.
Week later:
Mrs 1248: Leon the Pro Painter dropped these off, samples from mikes house.
Rainman: I don’t like them. I want what’s on Petes house!
Mrs 1248; Pete has textured stucco and brick walls, will cost a fortune to change!

Rainman: Its made of the same material as the walls!
Mrs 1248: Yes, its lovely. So peaceful!
Rainman: It absorbs sounds, its soft, like a headboard or a pillow!

Week later:
Mrs 1248: Oh look, your eating French toast! You said you don’t like it?

The author is sensitive to Autistic people and has been known to donate to causes in support, has family members subject to a diagnosis, and does not mean to offend anyone. This is a comment only to the 1248’s posts regarding Frank not the man himself.
For those accusing me of not being too far behind given my responses I welcome that and concur. I need a new jacket myself sometimes?

dude your a stalker and completely obsessed with everything i say, and everybody on this board knows it..

Scary

Stalker? A but harsh. Obsessed with everything you say? Not that hard. You don’t say much, just a few thing things with redundancy. “Everyone on the board knows it?” Again, your not saying much. Count me is as Part of “Everyone”. I admit to it. They tolerate your posts better than I. My fiction is a complete waste of time. Perhaps my obnoxious responses do add a bit of entertainment to someone’s day. I amuse myself so at least one person appreciates Nalod.
Somewhere Marv has a chart on my behavior and I’m a case study. Perhaps he can prescribe me something to take the edge off your posts. I don’t agree with a lot of views By other and don’t respond. Yours are like fingernails on a chalkboard. Your Hardly a deplorable person and you mean well. Outside of you making shyt up and lazy at times I Can’t quite put my finger on it.
Sorry if my depiction went to far. Really, I don’t know you well enough to hit a nerve and hope you can take some of it with a grain of salt. I’m obsessed with your Frank obsession.

He’s mentally weak, doesn’t play D, can’t shoot and is a turnover machine

Other than that he’s great

It makes perfect sense. They have their long-term backcourt in SGA and Dort. They need forwards and wings who can shoot. Knox has another year under rookie salary than Frank and DSjr too. He's the better bet if they are getting a young player from the knicks.

Nalod wrote:Sorry, even though Knox has not lit the world on fire I dont' want to see him succeed outside a knick uniform.

Don’t worry about that

We’re drafting a 3 and D wing at 8 plus already have RJ who needs to be playing SF

Just pull the trigger

knicks1248 wrote:This seems just like the Melo trade when the knicks were reluctant to include Mosgov..well how did his career turn out.

Knox is no where near ready

True but they just brought in Knox's coach who probably sold them on the idea that he can bring out untapped potential and turn him into a modern day Stretch 4. I think it’s a much different situation. Ontop of that my belief is they may be trying to build up the relationships between the Knicks and Kentucky players. So many of these guys are playing well and eventually the Knicks will want to be a destination for some of these guys when they become free agents.

I do realize that, but the knicks have 7 straight losing season, there will me another Knox in the coming draft, that dude can easily be replace, it's not like he's on trey youngs level.

You don't think there's going to be some serious sacrificing and risk if you want to get better sooner than later?

We spent 6 yrs with the conservative mills making low risk moves, resulting in low returns, a losing culture and cap space. That **** back fired and your cap space netted you trash and your young guys showed little promise..Why continue to do that?

Mosgov wasn’t a featured player in the deal. He went on the be the starting center for one of the Cavs finals runs. Where he averaged 14pts 7.5rebs 1.5blks in the finals. I would still trade him obviously. But that’s how it turned out for him.

CP3 is 35 and is owed 120mil. Prior to these last yrs he was playing 64, 58, 58, 70 gms each season. He gets injured and we are stuck with a massive unmovable contract. When he is 37-38 and making 40mil per. It’s very likely that his game tails off. We aren’t set to win right now either to capitalize on him hopefully having another highly productive yr. Giving away players is never good business. Every single piece can potentially turn into another piece that explodes. Knox could be moved for a draft pick that could become a player that plays for a team for 10yrs if Knox isn’t that player himself. So if Paul is the move then there better be a legit plan.

To be clear: CP3 has 2 years left on contract with last year as player option. $41M, $44M.

I don’t want to trade for CP3, but one of the podcasts suggested as Rose was his former agent, he could have the trust levels to ask CP3 to opt out of the final year, and agree to a multi year deal at a lower figure, if we needed some space to sign a FA that year.
