Now that Noah is gone, I expect the knicks to look to trade Lee for an expiring contract to a playoff team. The process to them getting in the 30 mil range requires them to make a lot of painful roster moves.

Like it could be his neck, or it could be they learned from the time they tried to trade Shump to the Thunder and he got injured that game right before. :manny:

Let him stay at home unless he files a grievance report, bring him back to the team then. If he's causing problems, there's grounds for player conduct violation. Just send him home. Noah had issues with Hornacek and management, not the players. If one of Fizdale's forte is player relationship, he can work something out with Noah. Stretching him should be the final option.

He got caught taking steroids (probably to not look cooked in front of Phil), cursed out the head coach, and was a cancer. Him staying around is a ticking time bomb like Jimmy on the Wolves. You know he is going to do something stupid because he isn't getting his way

Bullshyt. It sounds like you're projecting. Disruptive??? Yes. Team cancer??? Hell, no. Younger Knicks on this team have publicly said they like him. Players get into arguments with coaches all the time. And he took issue with Hornacek not allowing him to play in the Golden State after being promised minutes after KP was out that game.

My man made a instagram post saying give me money so I can leave and that isn't disruptive? That's the same lane as Jimmy Butler on ESPN except people care more about Butler's Drama.

1. It was an Instagram story, not a post. :troll:
2. These type of actions are disruptive, but not cancer-like which you implied before.
3. Butler has openly criticized the two faces of the Timberwolves franchise and has had a past history of alienating his teammates as early as his days in Chicago. You see Noah planning SportsCenter interviews on ESPN shytting on KP, Frank, Knox, etc.??? An isolated altercation with a clueless coach and whining on social media about wanting out of NY are nothing compared to those of Butler's numerous issues.

Didn't Lee and O'Quinn also get into it with Hornacek.

That was after he was already frozen out of the team.

1. I am too old to differentiate between these things..... its all just social media to me:hubie:
2. There is a thin line between being disruptive and a cancer and Noah was already skirting it
3. Also, my argument is it is not the same "yet". How long before he got the NBAPA involved and starting telling players (including upcoming FA) how the Knicks were doing him dirty. He was an ass while in NY but at least he owns that alone. The biggest lesson here is the Knicks need to stay the fukk away from Chicago FA's. They never do well here.

SG - Tim Hardaway - The fact that I bounced back and forth between Trier and Hardaway on this pick is an indictment of Timmy. But he's turned up his shooting in the last two games for a team that desperately needs some 3 pointers. 7/14 for 18 points last night. What else did he contribute you ask? Some trash talk in Levert's ear after letting the guy shoot back to back open three's and one rebound. This is consistently my complaint about THJ, he's paid too much to just score. His defense was subpar, he didn't create for anybody, didn't spark much in transition and didn't get boards. Still...he's stretching the floor and we need that.
I really wish Timmy attacked the boards harder because he is a one man fast break and relentless finisher when he pushes the ball.

He should be averaging more than 2.8 rebounds per game :scust:

As for Lance Thomas, bro looks in tip top physical shape and his floater and corner three looks much improved. I think he can have a career year.

Also, I still maintain that Burke and Ntlikina should be our starting backcourt with Timmy moved to a microwave 6th man role. I think Allonzo Trier is a bonafide NBA level scorer and will be promoted from his two way contract, he reminds me of Jordan Crawford.

Knox seems to be struggling with NBA range threes and his motor hasn't been the best, y'all say he playing with ball hogs but also he himself got a tendency historically to disappear/not be aggressive.

I think Hezonja has a lot of potential, coach Fiz just need him to cut out all the low I.Q. plays, make the right play not the highlight. Vonleh got a nice handle for a big, I liked him at Indiana, I'll be rooting for him to become a legit rotation piece. Hicks looks in better shape but he's still a third string big at best. Kornet still shows flashes as a stretch 5 and shot blocker.

"Thin line???" "Skirting it?" You fretting over a bunch of misdemeanors. You're acting like he's Rajon Rondo quitting on the Mavs during the playoffs or getting bounced by every team like Dwight Howard??? :laff:
If the NBAPA steps in on the Knicks, NY can try to reintegrate back to the team. If Noah continues to act like an unprofessional a$$hole, the Knicks have grounds to send him home on some player conducts violations. The man's still getting his paychecks and Knicks shouldn't accommodate him just for his convenience. Porzingis not getting back to 100%, Fizdale failing to implement his style of play on offense and defense and the other young players not showing signs of a promising core all play more of significant factors than a washed player bytching to the players union regarding his time in NY to upcoming star free agents. And the Knicks haven't exactly been a free agency haven for star level players under Dolan, but catering to a bitter player could change all that. :comeon:
