Supposedly Charlotte wants to do a hard reset... I would love Kemba here. Yes I would trade Frenchy.... but this might be a Jordan special where he basically makes a trade approved by Stevie Wonder.

What say you?

Yeah done, Frank is so awful offensively

Don't ask me how we get Kemba.... use your imaginatiom!

Knicks could actually trade Kanter, KOQ or Willy here... salary dump. It hate to see KOQ or Kanter go buy I'm a Knicks fan. I'm totally ok with being left with Noah as a starter. I believe he's healthy.

KP, Timmy, Noah, Kemba, Lee.... Beas off the bench. Possibly Trey Burke? Let's ****ing go

Im pretty sure that Walker would make KP/Kanter a more effective tandem. Whoever might hypothetically be brought in at PG, I would want to see them try to work with that frontcourt before any moves are made.

Think why Jordan wants to trade these guys? He knows that core is going nowhere. What if you added KP to the Hornets? Would that change the whole franchise?

Frank and KP are hitting a wall because of THjr’s injury.
Making trades based on todays shortfall are not bad ideas but the long view is what most important.
Hornets have failed with Zeller who is not progressing as thought. Dwight is a disaster anywhere he goes. I have seen Hornets in person more than knicks and he plays for his pay.
Kemba when hot is awesome. His future is off the bench as a “Microwave”. I’m not knocking his talent, just his fit in our future.

Giving up on Frank after 40 games at age 19 when he is obviously struggling it’s his shot and thinking this is his whole career is shortsightingly ignorant. This is what rebuilding is like, its uneven, frustrating and requires patience. Need some imagination. No guarantees. If you want that you end up with mediocrity.

Kemba is under 6 foot and what happens when small guys lose that explosive step?

This will always be the common theme here, losing patience. I mean there were people losing patience with Porzingis last year and ready to trade him at age 21. That proves this fanbase will lose patience with literally anyone and it's sad and embarrassing.

Who were we ever impatient with that we let go and they turned into a stud. Was it tony douglas, landry fields, Danilo,wilson chandler,Galloway, Lee, nate..Trades, FA, draft, can't rely on one more than the other.

Danilo was the only high pick we get all this years and he is fine player.
Lee was also great for the teams he played.
When team is trading high draft picks away for decades the probability to succeed is close to nothing.
NBA is running on cap so it is no way to pay you way to success.
So no doubt teams have to use all avenues to get and grow talent.
But this is a PROCESS not a chane of lucky bets.

Not reading any trades for Frank that involve retreads, broken down vets. Fultz and Walker are the two players I would be open to bringing here for Frank. The number one pick, potential superstar PG, and a starting PG (From NYC) in his prime, putting up elite numbers.

If anything its a compliment for the bar to be that high to be open to a trade involving Frank. As I said upthread, Frank's offense is still a question mark. We just dont know if he has that scorers mentality in him. He's had many opportunities to change that this season.

Thats what will separate Frank from being a starter in this league. Thats why you dont ignore good offers.
