Given this current tailspin and Jack looking shakier with each game, give the dude a look. What do we have to lose?

So you want to start the tank off early? I'm cool with the idea. Just don't try to sell me on Trey Burke saving the season.

Has nothing to do with tanking or saving the season. Has to do with the potential to contribute and help the team more than Sessions.

Real talk....I'm not sure Burke has that potential. I wouldn't call it a stopgap move, because Burke has never really shown he can play at a decent NBA level before. Whatever the case, I don't want him messing with Frank's minutes or development. Whether it's Burke or Sessions taking that spot, it doesn't matter to me.

Burke said part of the reason he signed with Westchester was because of his relationship with Scott Perry. Perry had Burke and Jack work out and signed Jack. Sessions was signed two weeks after Perry was hired. If Sessions was more of a Mills signing, Perry might be more willing to waive/trade him. I am not sure but it seems like Perry is a stand up guy and players that have relationships with him are loyal. I would think he would not want to burn bridges, even with league minimum guys. I think the Knicks try to make a move to free open a spot if they see Burke as a part of the future. It sounds like Burke was under the impression that he would eventually be on the big club.
***Noah credited Sessions training/workout routine with helping him stay ready for when he finally got minutes.

Sessions has a guaranteed contract. It's not like he won't get his money if he gets cut. Plus it frees him up to possibly fill a spot on a playoff team if a guard goes down (which always happens). I don't consider it doing Sessions a favor keeping him around to not play. And Sessions didn't produce when he had an opportunity so it's not like he wasn't given a chance.

So I'm not buying the loyalty thing for the last guy on the bench.

Burke is exactly what this team needs. Give jack some vet rest and start frank and have Burke come off the bench. if Burke can do half of what he did in the g league he should eventually be our starter... Burke and Timmy Michigan reunited!

Not opposed to giving Burke a shot. Its just when I hear him say to the media, that his offense is elite. Makes me want to look for another answer.

Exactly. The book was he needed to improve his playmaking and shot selection because he's already shown that the way he played before didn't work. I'd have to like to have seen him work on those area. Watching put up gaudy numbers against inferior competition shows me nothing. I already know he can score against lesser athletes. He did it in college. It's like when people got excited seeing Jimmer gun a few years ago. It was fine, but those aren't the impovements he needed to make in order to stick.
