I think the truth lies somewhere between Guns' Post and Def's post.
If I had to guess I would say management wants to play the money man in Norris.
I also think Frank has probably shown zero interested in putting his heart and soul out on the court...
I can't believe that management would keep him on the IR if he had Fire and desire to go out and give the game his all.. leave it all out there.. and WIN....

I really think that as fans.. we are owed an explanation by both The Knicks organization and Frank Williams himself.
It's only right... This is NYC.. Best Fans in the whole world!
Geeez...

I guess this really should be on a different thread.. lol

GO KNICKERBOCKERS!!!!!!!!

And would his mom want him to be a quitter because she wasn't around? No, she'd want him to pick himself up and do his job.

Look at Brett Favre!

Wow man that other post you had on Frank was crazy. Maybe eh was really close to his Mom. People are different. I work for the city and if my Mother died God forbid they would give me 3 days and that's only if I notify them in a restricted amount of time. That sucks.

Let the guy take his time. We need him to start with Marbury at the 2 guard but life comes before basketball.

i hope u all know rahim isn't a threat he doesn't avg more than 11 pts w/ this portland team, in fact, he doesn't even start... the main focus should be randolph... we need kurt's D more than anything. sweetney may be extra valluable tonight

I don't like Rahim but for Kurt...man thats a no brainer!

I wonder if FWill would come off the IR if Houston is hurting so much. Like to see if the guy is still interested in bball this year.

I have to admit I've not been following the Frank situation. Why is he still on the IR?

Why would him being "interested" be of concern? If he's physically able to play, they should play him.

Death of his mom. Frank admitted that he didn't know if he could come back and play this year.

That's ridiculous. What, he's too fragile to get back to his job, where he's paid millions of dollars, because his mom died? What is he, 12 years old?

Good grief, what a sissy.

Everyone dies. It feels bad, you grieve, then you get back to your life. If he can't get over it, he needs psychiatric attention.

Before my father died, very quickly from pancreatic cancer I might add, I was fortunate my employers allowed me to take a week to see him in his final lucid days. I wish I could have been there at his deathbed, but I had to fly to New York and get back to work. The rest of family was there, which was good, even though he was on morphine and totally out of it. He died, I went to the funeral, I flew back to NYC, and went back to my job. Sure it's painful, but that's what life is, pain and suffering interspersed with some nice moments, then you kick the bucket.

I seriously think he has emotional problems if what you're saying is true, martin. A grown man who won't do his job after his mother's death. What about all the other athletes who experience deaths in their families during the season? They grieve, then they get back to work. Why does Frank think he is so special that he can't get with it? Imagine if everyone stopped doing their jobs because of a loved one's death? Society would grind to a halt. That really burns me up, hearing that kind of thing.

No wonder he gets benched all the time, it sounds like he's soft.

your words are harsh man, but I agree with you.

TT looks smooth, playin some good ball.

DerMarr end to end with the impressive dunk.

Randolph just doesn't miss.

it's amazing what having a another go to guy can do for your offense as opposed to feeding Shandon Anderson.

seriously, we are almost at the point where Demarr is better than Shandon and deserves his minutes.

I can seriously see Demarr destroying shandon in practices.

And Sweetney is probably chowing down on Othella. Is that why othella got no 1st half minutes? the Block by sweets was nice
