Man, i was listening to the Ringers NBA show and Chris Vernon really hammered home something that we’ve all thought for a while and really made me sad, that Frank needs to go somewhere else if he wants to succeed. He really got on the organization for playing guys like Trier over Frank but walked it back a little saying that the front office has no vested interest in his success, which rings true. You see all the recourses they’re pouring into Knox this summer while frank never really had anything like that. He went on about how Frank wasn’t their pick and him doing well doesn’t make them look good or smart like Trier, Mitch and Knox have. He needs to be with an organization that believes in him.

Now, MY hope is that last year was less about Mudiay and more about the team being able to sell themselves as a place that can develop guys. Mudiay getting paid this summer will give us a chance to get guys like him at a bargain. And now that he’s gone, the team can (and should) focus on giving Frank the same attention they gave Mudiay last year. Unless we sign a pg, at worst Frank is the backup of this season. I really hope they give the kid a chance cause as we can see he’s working his ass off.
He will get his chance as a backup for RJ. He's not starting over Dennis at all.

Put it like this....we have RJ and RJs godfather is Steve Nash. Nash could train Frank. Why are y'all bashing everyone for Frank playing like shyt? That's all on Frank and if he has the drive to want to improve. Knox and Mitch are out training to be the best. RJ has that determination and none of these guys are timid in shooting. Ya boy is being given the opportunity but he ain't capitalizing on it. It frustrates me that y'all put so much faith in him over all these up and coming rookies that are younger than him and showing off. What is it that I'm not seeing??

Even though Dennis Smith jr probably has the highest ceiling of any pg on the team, I'm not confident he fixes that broken shot of his, and all the other pg's on the team have their own issues too, so imo that starting pg spot ain't owed to nobody currently. If the Knicks can upgrade the pg position they should..... but I don't think Terry Rozier is the answer.

I absolutely hate gym workout videos. The absolute worst NBA player, number 350 can hit 70 3’s out of a 100.

Just cuz you hitting jump shot after jump shot in an open gym, don’t mean shyt to me.

These players gotta win me over with their play in a game against NBA defenders. That goes for DSJ and especially Frank.

That hitch is still there:francis: his form looks rough. I swear if he gets his shot together his game will really take off, but he's still got a long way to go.



Frank is swole cot damn, he looks like a legit SF. His shot was looking a lot cleaner too with a much quicker release. I think he's gonna have a pretty good year, he's gonna surprise a lot of people.

Please don't tell me this KD & Kyrie to the Nets shyt is real :mjcry:
If they are so shaky and easily-manipulated to play for the New Jersey Nets, after years of saying they wanted to play in the Garden, then they were never built to handle the weight of being Knicks. They would have crumbled.

Let's see what the truth is.

If they don't want us, we don't need them.

Anyone know if Mitch is in the weight room? He needs that strength. Especially for a big man. :jbhmm:

Just got round to listening to the podcast, couldn't agree more. Verno and KOC are on the money.
