3. Knicks have not given up on the kid and think might be worthwhile to develop him not as a pg, but at the 2 or three. He might be 6-7 now.

What ever happens KD is not playing this year and Kyrie is likely not coming. If we still in developing mode Frank gets a window. A small one.

I thought the rumor of frank getting moved for a late first were silly.

Why would you trade a 20 year old elite defensive player still loaded with potential again he’s only 20 years old. He’s still a great back up player. He can play 3 positions what if he takes a huge step forward this year. We’ll be thankful

Side note: I want us to sign taco fall to back up Mitch .

You trade a 20 year old that hasn't quite developed like hoped if you think the upside of a draft pick has greater potential than the player you've spent 2 years looking at closely.

I have a feeling no one offered us anything worth taking.

Berman said late 1st or early second. His cap hold is 5mm. I think that further devalues. Im trying to be objective and not interject my fandom or hate.
Really I have no idea what the knicks are thinking other than Fiz's comments it was unfortunate the team could not see DSjr and him on the court at the same time.
Fiz's idea of what he wants or needs from him is likely different than what Phil's idea was. It justifiable he has not been given clarity/opportunity that Drafted by PHil who was fired two weeks later, then coached by a lame duck Horacek fighting for his job, and then comes fiz all while the roster around him changes vastly.
It will be resolved at some point. He stays or he goes. He plays or he don't.

Wow, not a single smile, even one of those "it is what it is, what I'm I going to do sad smiles" while he was with his handlers.

Should give him some drive to prove everyone wrong, though.

When you get the #3, you expect him to be good & hope you won't be disappointed.

With Iggy, #47, you're playing with house money, to some extent. Less chance of extreme disappointment, if you find out he's not NBA material, more excitement if he's a diamond in the rough.

Read somewhere that the Knicks graded him as a late 1st talent and didn't expect him to be around when we got him.

He and Hinton are the guys I really want to see in SL, because of the potential "steal" feeling, which is what we got with Mitch and Trier.

Reminds me of the Maciej Lampe slide before we picked him....he thought he was going 5th

I read he got red flagged on health grounds for having degenerative knees, like Brandon Roy, but more advanced than when he came in the league

...and the Cavs would laugh and hang up. Frank has zero value right now.
