I disagree. One of the things Jeff said yesterday was that Frank was having a tough time playing over 20 minutes a night and that they would have to see if his knee would hold up
more minutes. Getting Mudiay for Buckets was opportunistic.

Yea he has basically stated before that Frank's strength and conditioning isn't NBA ready.

The ideal situation would be to start both Ntlikina and Mudiay and move THJ to sf. Lee should be relegated to the bench. The reason to do this is it created a much better ball movement team. Burk can come in for either Ntlikina or Mudiay and also allows THJ and Lee to become interchangeable either at sg or sf.

The reason you want to start doing this is very simple these 23 games are going to be all about certain players becoming acclimated to each other in different lineups. The Knicks area really shytty organization that can’t get get out of their own way. They manage to make every year a different entity. There is no continuity whatsoever, next year they will throw another 4-5 players into the mix and it’s going to the same crap all over again. You guys got to remember Isiah Thomas add a lot of 25 and under players. Just adding young players doesn’t necessarily mean future success. These players have to be the right players preferably homegrown.

Frank’s career is as important as the Knicks success. His success is the Knicks success. Who is the next Knicks player you’re gonna throw under the bus. You gonna Get cozy with Mudiay maybe Burk. Mudiay a player that fell out of the rotation third stringer. Burk a player who had to go to the Gleague.

The grass ain’t greener bro. Mudiay and Burk are discarded players it’s not about age with these guys they are what they and that’s why their original teams moved on.

You do realize frank is headed down that same path if he doesn't improve significantly by next season.

With that said, I'm curious to see what Mudiay can do with the keys to team.

I think Frank will get moved this off-season for an established vet, just my gut feeling.

You need a gut check

They could have moved him for Elfrid Payton and didnt. Don't think they are looking to dump him. They most likely wont be willing to do so until next trade deadline or the one after that. If he doesn't show improvement. But at the same time, he is under a rookie contract so trading him for a higher priced player may nit be the best decision though would be in line with what the Knicks have done for the last 20 yrs.

Like Orlando should have kept Mario until he became an unrestricted FA just in case. His salary was pretty cheap. The potential was worth the price they were paying.

Frank is gonna be making 2-3mil over the next few yrs.

Potential vs salary.

I want you guys to really sit back and think about what Frank could potentially do and be for the Knicks if he were to be successful. Also need to stop looking at Frank as just a PG. He is a dude that could possibly play 3 positions. And have a decent all-around game. And he will be developed as such either for us or another team. They want him to develop more PG skills now as part of his development so that he has those skills even if he is playing 2 or 3. That they could run Frank out there down the road with 2 SGs or 2 Forwards and go real big. while letting him handle the rock.

NBA is going to evolve more towards positionless bball. With freaks of nature playing all type of different positions and roles. We either become innovate ourselves or we get left behind.

It's ok to wait for frank to develop if you have legit starters on your roster. If the knicks can move up in the draft and NAB a NBA ready wing, you have to sacrifice frank and the current 1st round..
