Guys will get their chance at some point. We are not even 10 games in, Dotson was hurt and Trier is wildly inconsistent.

Sixers need bench help badly they could use trier for first round pick same with the bucks. Dotson expiring contract team like rockets could use him as 3 and d guy. Whats point have both trier and dotson the knicks could have had better record at least around 500.

I really don't want to trade dotson or trier but they deserve better then what they are getting here. I know for fact the sixers, celtics, bucks, spurs, rockets, clippers, blazers, raptors, and pistons could use both trier and dotson for picks.

he has 13 bonafide rotational players, and I knew this would happen base on his handle of the rotation last yr.

But ellington is more experience and savvy

I guess he is part of rebuilding and future of the Knicks.

Dude we had 7 young players last yr (some high lottery picks, all decent players) that were supposed to be part of the future.

How long do you think role players (in today's NBA) remain with one team, especially in a dysfunctional losing environment?

Do you think if we lose 57 games that anybody on this roster is safe, or the coach or the F/O--think reset button

You think if you play the young guys and they lose 50+ games, that were developing them, and moving in the right direction?

Were going to lose 50+ games with Ellington regardless and he is going to be let go all the same most likely.

Trier and Dotson will end up on new teams. In a couple seasons as they gained experience they probably end up productive players helping their respective team. And all that will be said is that Knicks development is trash. When in reality they just got more experience over time and developed their games with that experience over the yrs.

They are upcoming free agents though. So if they aren't apart of the long term plans, decisions would have to be made to get something back. But I think a commitment will be made one way or another going into the deadline to either move them or move Ellington. Where they will start to get regular mins to see if they should be kept.

Yes and they will come back to MSG and drop 30 on the Knicks! Add Frank to the list...maynbe not 30
