Ramon Sessions needs to STFU. Comparing Frank to Kyrie. :dame:

He's specific on saying that it's handling in tight spaces and finishing at the rim without needing athleticism. Not saying Frank looks like Kyrie on the court, but that rather than blow bys or jumping over guys, Frank is effective by being crafty and creative (with his tools that wouldn't be a shocker).


That line up is going to get eaten by bigger SF/swingmen

It'll be fun to watch though, they'd be able to switch on virtually every screen which could force teams to turn into pure iso units.

From henceforth we shall refer to Frank’s wingspan as his “tools”.

And if he utilizes his tools well we shall dub thee, The Handyman.

Height to see over the defense
Wingspan to get shots and passes off at angles the defense can't stop.
Awareness to know where his outlet options are on most forays into the paint.

He's got more tools than Blankman's utility belt fam.

:whoa:

The FO is doing what it is supposed to do to get the pro-rebuilders what they want - Youth focused team that isn't projected to be anything more than a lottery team even if they play their best.

The coach and players' job is to play hard and play to win to make it fun for all fans.

I don't think what he's saying is opposite of what you want, breh.

Let's keep that discussion at that at this point. Please.

Not trying to have this thread devolve.

Im saying by them trying hard to compete and getting the 6-7 seed is not worth it.


You guys will need a Michael Porter or any top 7 draft pick

That's not the coach nor the player's concern. Can we agree to that?

Players should not be expected to care about lottery position. Sorry. And fans should not be condemned for encouraging 25 and under players to go out there have fun and play hard. Sorry.

Again, most of us agree that FO did what they needed to do to send Melo to a team competing for a chip and to set this team up in a way where we are rebuilding and projected to be in the lottery. I can understand the criticism of the fans who want the team to compromise the future by signing people who will get us to the 8th seed but fans who are just saying they'd like to see their young guys ball? Nah.

I'm going to send over some rep to you though. I don't want you to think I'm rude if I abrubtly stop commenting on this issue we are debating. I'm not trying to bog this thread down especially since I'm long winded as fukk. :lolbron:

I do understand your position, though.
