Just after everything that's happened this season I just can't imagine Fiz pulling Knox to start Frank.

Lance would get pulled, not Knox

And I'd start Mitch over Vonleh as well

Fiz is like Baby Groot from that scene in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, but he keeps wanting to push the "give Mudiay more minutes" button

The lineup when frank comes back should be simple as hell

Smith jr
Frank
Dotson
Knox
Mitch

It should not be hard but Fizdale will prolly somehow throw out this trash

Mudiay
Jenkins
Hezona

In a way, the time away from the court has made fans appreciate Frank's game more. You really begin to appreciate the little things he was doing on the court because no one seems to be doing it outside of Mitch right now. Frank is a winning player and you need guys like him to do all the dirty work that will never noticed.

Relevant portion of the article

Obviously, Ntilikina is available in any Anthony Davis package, but if the Knicks can acquire an extra first-round pick for him, they would consider it


Perry's looking to get what he considers positive value for Frank, which to him is a first rounder. Meaning he isn't just looking to dump him as some are gonna assume reading the headline

Also, this:

Some NBA sources believe Ntilikina has not been given a fair shake at point guard.
“Don’t they have to see what they have first?” one NBA source said. “If he turns into a bust as a lottery pick, fine. But they do not know that yet.”


And the rest of the article is just DSJ talking about how much he wants to play next to Frank

Knicks regime is really eager to rid themselves of everything Phil, but at least they aren't gifting players away.

Frank isn't worth a 1st, but I'd bet a playoff team would probably off a mid 20's for him. Does OKC have theirs? he can learn from his ceiling….Andre Roberson.

How long have we said this? The list of excuses a mile long to not commit to playing him last year.

I hope he ends up in DAL. Buzz, speak it into existence.

If mudiay can fix his broken jumpshot then I believe Frank can too

Tried to tell us what? That Berman is reliable and has great sources?

But really, do you consider a Berman fake news article as proving some kind of point? Unless the point is that Berman sucks

Fizdale has indicated when the 6-foot-6 Ntilikina returns, he mostly will play wing, even mentioning power forward. The Knicks are putting it all in Smith’s hands and still analyzing if they can re-sign Mudiay, a restricted free agent. The issue is moot if Kyrie Irving or Kemba Walker signs with the Knicks, but there’s no way they can bank on a flip-flopping Irving.


Power Forward? :lol:

Ntilikina’s second season has been as disappointing as his rookie year, when he was picked one spot ahead of Smith. His effective field-goal percentage (40 percent) ranks last in the NBA for eligible players.
