If Payton supplants DSJ that's fine with me. I just disagree that DSJ should be cast aside so quickly. He has shown potential. Yet Frank has shown NOTHING and ppl still want to wait 5 years for him to even show a flash. Don't wanna hear about defense. It hasn't kept him on the floor or even been good enough to steal a win or 2. If his D ain't doing that, it's not a selling point.

Unfortunately for Dot everything he's good at, RJ is much better at. Outside of the 3 ball at the moment and that will come. Dot is redundant behind RJ. You have specialists like Bullock and Ellington and potential instant O in Trier. IMO you don't need a guy coming in doing the exact same things as the starter, just not as well. Not when you can plug in some specialists.
I view Dot as a 3&D guy who can make some plays when ran off the line whether a smart pass, attacking the rim, or stepping in for the mid who can also run the floor hard in transition and even be a secondary ball handler if needed. :manny:

It's a serious log jam right now at those guard spots which is why I smell a trade coming.

Hmm out of all three who led his team to the playoffs without another top 10 player for years ? Melo so stop disrespecting
Breh love Melo but he had squads don't do that :pachaha:

So I did my requisite Youtube scouting of all the dudes we picked up. And of DSJ. Because reading this thread, you'd think he was a scrub. When we didn't have him, many of us cursed NYK for passing on him and drafting Frank. Now we got him, ppl still think Frank should start, still say shyt like we have no PG, and now even Payton is ranked ahead of him by some of you.

Well Elfrid looked a lot better in my scouting than I expected but I think DSJ should have the job to lose. Payton showed a lil jumper I wasn't expecting. I know it was highlights but his stroke looked good and he looked comfortable shooting the 3. His mid range looks solid. He passed Frank on my depth chart.

DSJ is dynamic and explosive and I like his court vision. His jumper isn't terrible. I think we need to come out hard every game and an attacking guard like DSJ along with Randle and RJ will cause problems.

Randle looked real good. Total offensive package you want your modern day 4 to have. Had he started out in this market he'd have been a lot more coveted in FA. Looking forward to seeing if he can continue his big time play on the big stage. I had fears of Charles Smith when I heard we signed Randle. Smith was a 20 ppg scorer before he came to NY and I thought he was gonna be the #2 Ewing always needed. We know how that went. But peeping Randle's highlights I'm not worried about that anymore.

Portis has me intrigued. I didn't know he had game like that. I didn't know Ellington was a knockdown shooter like that. :ehh: I like what Bullock is gonna bring too. Taj? I ain't mad. Just be Taj, fam,

I think this team can compete for 8th and that's all I want. A return to playoff basketball. If we get washed, so what? We made it to the chip from the 8th seed before. I can't believe some of you fans of this shytty 17 win team that hasn't been to the playoffs in 6 years are acting like you're too good to battle for an 8th seed. fukk that.

Gotta guard glut tho. Management clearly don't love Frank so they need to move him. I admire Dotson for being a 2nd rounder that has proved to be a rotational NBA player. But he shouldn't play over Ellington or Bullock. He will not end up a better player than them. This is what he is. Maybe a Frank/Dotson package can yield something? I don't see a place for them on this roster.

To be fair, the guys who still like frank over DSJ, weren’t the ones upset that we passed on DSJ.



I didn’t know it was Portis who stood up to Wade in that locker room. :ehh:

I’m liking this signing more and more. We need this kind of energy in the locker room. Bobby wants to win. Hope his work ethic robs off the young gunz :obama:

Man with the news of Kawhi probably staying in TO and how wide open the Nba will be next year it makes me think what if KD stayed healthy and came here and we get a Ad and/or Kyrie

That team could have won a title next year :mjcry:

:ehh: I’m starting to like these signings too

Bobby Portis has that dog in him and desire to be great that’s gonna be great for more mellow dudes like Knox, Frank and Dotson

Even if you don’t like the signings, they are knicks now and we gotta support them:yeshrug:
I need Bobby to toughen frank up a bit. Rough him up to see if he has it in him:birdman:
