Why y’all didn’t go after Kemba?
He’s from the Bronx, played at Rice(RIP :to:), he would of been beloved by the fan base w/ his play style.
1) He didn't want to play in New York, he's been vocal about that and how he's not interested in coming back home fulltime

2) The Knicks viewed him as a "situational max", a player you max if it's to play alongside KD/Kawhi/AD, not to be the biggest acquisition you make

That's why there was never any real buzz between the two sides (other than fans/media making the BX connection)

For the young players to get the bulk of the playing time, so that the FO can assess their strengths, weaknesses, potential, fit in the macro plan and market value.



No, and I did not state or imply such an argument.



What is wrong with this is that it's overall long term utility is low, in all likelihood an 8th seed requires playing the mediocre FA's a large amount of minutes while simultaneously undermining the minutes and development of the young players. If the Knicks can obtain an 8th seed while the youth are getting a large bulk of the playing time then I am all for it, but the likelihood of that occurring is low.

So given the potential two choices of A) Getting 22-25 wins with the youth getting the most of the playing time or B) Getting 35-40 wins with the FA getting the bulk of the minutes. I'm going with option A for the previously stated reasons.



This is wishful thinking and in the event that the Knicks end up striking out in 2-3 years like they did on Sunday, you have a high probability of ending up in a position where the current youth are underdeveloped, none of the blue chip 20' or 21' picks are on the Knicks roster, and celebrating a chance to get stomped out by the 76ers in the first round is the apex of Fitz era. :scust:

Like I stated before...Nah I'm good.
I see Barrett and Knox starting next season and getting the bulk of the minutes regardless.

Mitchell is our only center right now but we’re set to have a strong frontline with Gibson, Portis, Randle, and Mitchell. A lot of things we can do with those four depending on matchups. Mitchell is still frail and stands to be foul prone so 20 minutes a night is most likely what we’ll see.

Dotson, Trier, Ntlikina is where it gets tricky in terms of minutes distribution.

I could tell you that in 2 or 3 years we’re more likely to attract a FA with a playoff appearance or two under our belt or at least seasons where we’re competitive. I’m not comfortable just playing youth and losing games because of the new lottery set up. Besides, I don’t think you have to play a young player 30+ minutes to gauge their talent and don’t see how a bunch of 20 year old guys are going to develop or play well surrounded by trash. I like the Ellington and Bullock signings specifically because those guys space the floor and the byproduct of that will lead to hopefully more efficient play out of the young guys and the team overall.

This fakkit is insufferable none of the guys we signed our 10th fukking men

He should stick to worrying about his team and how they just got lapped by the Nets after years of hearing their pretentious fans boast about raping them in that Pierce and Garnett deal. Years of hoarding assets just for it to implode like it did last season.

Part of me thinks he's been so vocal on the Knicks to avoid talking about the Celtics losing two major pieces to rivals and the Celtics fumbling the bag.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
Am i the only ones who wants the knicks to go the rebuild route and draft a core and surround them with talented role players

I agree. I'd rather the Knicks draft and develop their own stars than try to get hand me downs.


And besides, the last time a super star caliber player wanted to be a Knick (Melo), Knicks fans wanted him to take a back seat to Jeremy Lin :snoop:

JEREMY LIN.

Fans wanted Melo to be Robin to Jeremy fukking Lin :scusthov:

Not posting the video cause some people are sensitive,:russ: but in the summer workout video front, we’re seeing frank work in ball handle and attacking the rim, something i was curious if he was working on. He also had a look away at the end of the video as shot went in. That’s all he needs, to start playing with some swagger. Really wished he would pull a Jaylen Brown and play in summer league for a few games. Can’t wait to see what he does in Fiba.

Also saw a video that Steve Nash posted of RJ working out too. Can’t fukking wait until Friday night.

It looks like Frank's working out with two different trainers, hope he at least gets a chance this year.
