A Blown Knee & Flat Tires-Another NY Pothole Year: 17-18 Knicks Season Thread

[tremonthustler1]

Kind of why I think they got to build a trade around Kanter/Lee or Kanter/KOQ and if worse case add Willy (but get a pick back).

Trading Kanter now that he is overplaying his contract could get them something good. They just got to think ahead for once.

That's a lot of money to take back though.

The best I can configure is Lee/Kanter to Portland for Leonard /Turner /pick

Kanter, and Beasley should all be on the block. Willy too but he more than the rest shouldn't come cheap

Beasley's play over the past two months plus cheap contract probably has his trade value at all time high. Maybe some desperate borderline playoff bubble team, like the one we just played, would be willing to part with an asset for him. Like I stated in a previous post, the Pels need a quality SF in the worst way, as well as bench depth.

Would be a little sad to see Kanter go, honestly, but yeah, for the right deal he can be dealt too. Could probably get the most from a deal trading him based off his play this season. Willy Id hold onto simply because due to his youth, cheap deal, and barely playing this season you're unlikely to get fair value for him. Hold onto him and see what teams would be willing to offer in the offseason or next season, hopefully by then he's gotten more playing time and his trade value will be higher than it is right now.

Y'all need to stop saying Frank hasn't gotten chances. He's raw as fukk, should have gotten some G-league reps. He started the season not even looking to shoot, now he's fell right back into it. His defense isn't even on point anymore, seems like if he has the ball longer than 3 seconds it's a turnover and even three minutes of court action is a foul.

 

[ProlificLurker]

probably us, looks like hardaway got hurt again.

Nah. Trade Lee and give his mins to Dotson. Tank mode activated, #KnicksTank

jack is better den frank
if we are actually trying to win a game (which horn is trying to do)
im not putting in frank over jack
jack is erratic
frank just sucks
if we dont win our knick three games (memphis nets utah)
just start willy and frank and lets keep dis tank going properly

You're ignoring my point to make your own. If you have Jack in the game to win the game but he's committing the same mistakes Ntilikina makes at the end of games, it doesn't make a difference.

Well, Storyteller intimated in a few of the earlier games that Horny has been pulling him after making mistakes instead of letting him play through them. It's possible that it's having a negative effect...making him question everything he does on the court.

Hornacek is definitely doing that. I've watched every single game this season, haven't missed a minute. He has a very short leash with Frank, but right now Frank isn't actually doing anything on the court. Even if it's 10 minutes, make them count. To be honest ever since he went mano for mano against LeBron he has dipped and dipped hard.

Hornecek said teams go on Road Trips and win 5 of 7 road games breh come on man why say this in relation to the Knicks

Word, even Clyde at the end of the game called him out for that for that BS. Up big at home and you lose to a mediocre team like the Pels? F'kin terrible. Then got the nerve to say that they're close. Close to what, another lottery season? Hornacek on some other shyt, point #12046839 as to why this guy gotta , hopefully sooner rather than later.

Clyde was like " Stop saying you're close, as this game would indicate, the team is far from close. They a long way from close".
You could hear the in his voice lol. Clyde tired of the losing and pretending everything is ok, it obviously isn't. I mean shyt, even if you believe the young guys are trash, its not like the vets are lighting the world on fire. Why not make a change and see what happens, if nothing else you'll see what you have while giving guys much needed player development

Hornacek aint about to develop shyt. He knows he's gone next season. He's gonna use them vets til they aren't on the team anymore. Speaking of, he used his starters like it was game 7. KP played over 40 minutes on the front end of a back to back, Jack 37, Kanter and Lee 35 each. Brooklyn gonna mop the floor with these cats.

It's been said all season long... He has to figure out how to be more aggressive. Almost every bad moment tonight occurred because the NOP knew he didn't want to shoot imo. Instead of pulling him, everyone on the team needs to push it into his head until he figures it out.

 

[UnKasasGlasses]

Hornecek has to go. Point blank period.

You right

Which is why me and Im sure a lot of other cats in this thread are all for giving him the boot now. Why wait till the off season? Give Hornacek and Rambis that early pink slip, shyt at this point its long overdue

A coaching change should have happened before the season, but even though I think Jeff is an awful coach, he doesn't have a worthy roster either. His best pg is 34 and has been a reserve for much of his career. His best player isn't ready for the long minutes of being the man either. The team has essentially overachieved, but now will trend towards where they should be. really bad.
