I thought he was highly regarded. What happened to him?

I know he got arrested last year when he passed out drunk at the wheel of a parked but running car with a handgun in his lap. I'm guessing he does not keep up professional standards

He did that ? Smh hate to hear stuff like that from NYC kids. When I retire hope to join the Big Bros charity, help young men stay away from that life

Frank would be good insurance and Knox does play the 3/4 a position of need right now. They could also be trade filler down the road.

Anyone for the return of Kevin and Frank? Not sure they would even want to be here knowing they won’t ever play except for garbage time

Of course I want them here!

Sims is out with an illness, that in itself will help a bit and iHart will most likely be back after ASB at the latest. Taj will probably barely play when Sims gets back and will be back to 3rd/4th string before we know it.

Just FYI we have 3 open Roster spots after the trades, so we either have to grab some guys from waivers or fill out the depth with some Westchester cats. Taj is already a few days into his 2nd 10 day so we'll have to decide soon after the break whether we sign him for the rest of the year or give someone else a chance. I think Metu is a guy that would make some sense given the bulk of the injuries we have are at the 4/5.

Yes please. We need another big man. Thinking it's cool to rely on an Achilles injury and a surgically repaired ankle to hold up is crazy. I don't care if it is Skap! We need someone else.

it would be cool to have them on 2 way deals because I always thought Frank just needed minutes and consistent playing time. He had nice form on his 3, if he could ever shoot a consistent corner 3 . He'd be a great 3 and d player off the bench in the future .

Is this sarcasm or hot tub time machine?

I think Robin is washed and we already have a washed big man who I'd prefer to keep. Plus, I think they already have a few open roster spots already. They could just sign Ish if they wanted to, though I'm not sure of the tax implications. I think they could just use the TPE exemptionsbthey have.

They are too young to accept the end-of-bench warmer status in the NBA. Will probably look for bigger roles and money in Europe.

Disagree. It's not about what they would accept, it's about them being smart enough to understand that it is the only role that will be offered to them. If they still believe they can have an NBA career, they have to take anything offered and work hard to prove they are not "bench warmers". Especially since their last few years have proven they are.

Frank and Knox better take anything that is offered or they going to be looking at Europe.China soon.

Kev I thought looked in great shape in Detroit and was knocking shots down with minutes but he must be a moron or coaches just don’t believe he cares or gets it. Frank just is SOFT…SOFT…SOFT.

I agree, they are both on there last leg for NBA opportunities. It was never about skill with kev, his motor and drive to be great was never there. Frank is SOFT and the fact that he couldn’t even carve out a role with one of the worst teams in the league is troubling same goes for kev.

When I saw Frank in the knicks vs the hornets he looked unrecognizable, outta shape and kinda over weight and a non factor on both ends. He looks like he’s depressed, and dejected, Some time in Europe might do him some good.
I feel bad for him, I hope he’s taking care of his mental health.
