I do have a feeling that Dotson will get traded on draft night :oops: :oops:

Dotson more apart of this team future than frank is and i believe there is 60 percent chance frank is off this team this summer.


why not 61%? or 62%?

His value is really low that's why i didn't put it higher but anyways do you see frank playing for knicks. Also how much playing time do you see for frank if playing with the knicks next season with dsj, kadeem allen, trier, possible rj barret, dotson, and knox here.

I can't imagine him beating out Trier and Dot for minutes at the 2. I think the experiment of him playing point is officially done. I really can only see him playing the 3.


Wing 3 and D guy. Could be in running to start depending on how he looks.


my hope is he's done nothing but develop his 3 point shot. you can't teach IQ and defense like he has. players like him are important to good teams. they don't need the ball, and they do the **** that 90% of the league doesn't want to do, and he does it well.

In case you forgot, this is how Frank impacts the game. He completely shuts down your lead guard for 94 feet. The difference is night and day when he is on the court vs off. Guys don't get the same easy shots because the lead guard can't breakdown the defense. The offense he does display in small streaks has also been a sign of what's to come.

We will trade him to Dallas for the 37th pick

He will then turn into the player many thought he would become and lock down our PG for the next decade, he will shoot 41% from 3 and he Luka and KP will win 3 rings

Anyone familiar with Frank's shot mechanics see anything to be hopeful about?

Didn't a few people notice he made more shots where one foot was slightly forward, or was it the other way around?

Or where he holds the ball on releases? Looks a little lower, as someone pointed out.

Did he really fire his agent because he felt he wasn't getting big enough endorsement offers? I'm shocked that he got any! Not looking to bash. Its the lack of playing time, the soft spoken, introverted personality....doesn't seem like he'd pull in endorsements at this point.

Knicks didn’t screw up anything, Frank is just not a PG. Nothing about his game indicates that he’s a PG. If anything, the Knicks screwed up by not realizing this earlier and by not focusing on his development as a 2 who can act as a secondary ball-handler but also cuts, moves without the ball and spots up.

So the new angle is: Frank is distancing himself from the Knicks by not working out at their practice facility and not attending playoff games? :lol:

Guess it's a yearly field trip to watch a playoff game with a member from the coaching staff, even though one can easily have more important things to do, or would rather watch it at home.

Also, in one of the recently released videos of Frank working out, the older gentleman towards the end of the video you see braced against the wall in the patent leather jordans is Mike Miller from the Knicks coaching staff.


I guess Frank is destined to be traded now, since Marc is doing the smear campaign that happens before every trade is made.

To make things worse for Frank, after tomorrow he maybe the 5th wing in the roster after Knox, Dotson, Trier and RJ. He would be out of the rotation with the second higher salary. Moreover, we can grab another undrafted wing or receive a vet wing for a pick and he can fall to the 6th option. And for 2020, we may have Durant as starter SF.

If you have the 2 max cats plan, I would understand the need to gain an additional 5mil in cap space.
But if we running it back with the young guys, why sell short on Frank. Give him the 1st half of the season, you can always trade him at the deadline
