There are inherent benefits to letting the yoot run free and feel the NBA. few teams can afford to do this. Knicks moved out Hardaway and CLee with KP. Regrettfully Frank missed 43 games. Many of them when the season was lost. KP was not returning and we "sold" before the trade deadline.
We tanked, but just to get what odds there was. If RJ is a good player, it was worth it. If Knox in two years is a stud, it was worth it. Mitch got quality minutes.
Frank might have gotten more experience.
Its abstract. Losing sucks. Lots of questions. Its why its interesting.
