It's some delusion of the mind how the psychic says a million garbage ass things and the one time they actually get something right people focus on that instead of the 999,999 times they were wrong so it's like OMG they know the future!

I will go on record (again) as stating it was a mistake to let Frank go (NOT saying we shouldn't have drafted someone else but simply saying we should have kept him).

Miles McBride pretty much showed he brings everything we wanted frank to bring except having the same physical tools as frank.

I’ll miss hoping Frank could he become the lockdown defending, 3 point sniping secondary playmaker he could’ve been. But we did a great job replacing him with another promising prospect

Wish him the best except VS the Knicks

It would also be a delusion if this psychic didn't think everyone will take everything they say as a joke.

I hope so, since that's the case 95% of the time.

Buzz pretends he’s joking to throw people off, but we true believers know he’s dead serious and if he speaks it’s a prophecy and it’s guaranteed to happen. That’s why I just bet my entire life savings on the 37 win prediction.

The wild thing is Thibs did what is expected of him which was be a defensive guy ...but did it much better than expected , he turned the Knicks into a defensive powerhouse , they went from 23rd to 3rd in defense ...without Frank, so what did he need to play him for?

the team only went from 28th to 23rd on offense and most of that improvement was Derrick Rose.

The Mavs on the other hand are led by a generational talent on offense in Luka who literally had the most efficient offense in nba history at the time in 2020, but also a defense that 18th in the league , last season that defense slipped to 20th .

in addition KP has been mediocre , a sore spot for the Mavs especially in the playoffs,

as a player Frank's skillset matches up, he can sit in a corner and make 3s and has been among the league's best in corner 3s the last 2 seasons , he's good defender and the Mavs have poor defenders at the point guard , in addition KP has proven chemistry with him, the player line ups featuring them both were the Knicks best. KP was even campaigning for Frank to start as a rookie alongside him.

I honestly think whereas Frank was superfluous as a Knick, he starts for the Mavs, or he doesn't play at all, it makes little sense to play him with Brunson with whom they would need more offense from other spots and Ntiikina provides that inconsistently , but with Luka and KP he wouldn't need to do anything offensively besides shoot corner 3s and feed KP the ball,

so i think it works out for him and them.
Its because I'm green isn't it?

So unlike DSJ, Frank got an actual contract, not a camp invite.
