Yes. As I am the kind of person who hears "Reuben Hurricane Sandwich" when Dylan signs that song.

The only way I want to keep Frank is if we play him in slow-mo minutes with edited cuts and inspiring music as a backdrop. He seems to thrive in those situations - unconscious even.

I wouldn't be surprised if we end up trading Frank for the #23 that Memphis just got for Conley. I won't be happy - I think Frank can have an exceptional career somewhere - but just a hunch.

When we picked him we knew he was a project. This is what rebuilding looks like being patient and letting the kids develop . Don’t get me wrong I would love to get another pick but not for Frank.

Imagine wanting to trade a 21 year old that locked up Kyrie at age 19




Or one that held a scorching hot James Harden to only one field goal (when he defended him) at age 20



Giving up on all this potential just for a second round pick?

How does trading Frank make sense? It's not like we're one bench scorer away from being a contender or something. What are we gonna do with a pick in the 20s? Or even worse, a 2nd rounder!

Frank is already an elite defender. On a team that desperately needs them. Whoever you add to the team in the draft and free agency is gonna bring scoring. Why give up on a kid that can bring something so many young players can't?

It makes no sense. People here complain about defense all the time but when we have a true lockdown defender they want to trade him for nothing. His offensive game will come together with time but he is a complete game changer on the defensive end.

If we're trading Frank than I want Schroder, moves the ball well, fast as helz, and can really hit the open three. He's making 15 per year with two years left on his contract.

That's the thing it's ok if he is a project but he has shown 0 improvement yes he only has been in 2 years but even on projects you see some semblance of improvement. Many of you are overly optimistic that he will become something. I'm not saying give up on the kid but alot of you have your hopes up too high

I hope we trade Ntilikina tonight. I've seen enough and I'm ready to move on. Even for a 2nd rounder. We clear more cap and chances are we draft a kid who is more talented.
