Who cares if he ever even plays? Or even lands here. Keep him healthy in case an injury makes him valuable to some playoff team dumb enough to trade for him.


Lol what?

He can get you 3, then give up 4 on the other end.

He is a shorter Kyle Korver, need somewhere to hide him on D

If he's as good a shooter as Novak was, I'll be glad to hide that guy somewhere for 15 minutes a game. Novak must have won 10 games for the Knicks over two years on just killing the soul of other teams with dagger 3's, or stopping offensive runs the other team was making, then the Knicks won. And these weren't great Knick teams that won a ton of games or anything.

meh package. only thing that provides legitimate potential is that 2nd rounder.

overall him leaving helps the tank. which makes this move a positive.

Will be interesting to see how this place transitions from killing Melo to turning on KP. I'm hoping Frank shows out so we can divide into Frank vs KP factions. That should be fun.

OKC needed to take a risk this season though. You gotta ride Westbrook until he falls off or even decides to bolt to another team. If it doesn't work out with PG and Melo, I could see OKC wanting to rebuild. If Westbrook is fine with being a treadmill playoff team but not a contender, he'll stay. If he really wants a ring, he'll have to pull a Durant.

That's what I'm saying. He took a risk because PG13 and Melo may play one year and leave. Westbrook may leave too and what is OKC left with? So, they may have not wanted to trade Ferguson just in case nobody returns.
