Bust. He’s not improved and shown the ability to be consistent.

To dump him for next to nothing at this juncture is irresponsible. Give him the opportunity to at least try and up his trade value.


What you say makes sense if you think he's going to get better. If he doesn't, then we've lost the "hope" part of whatever value he had before we decided to keep him this coming season.

I think The Costanza Rule may apply here. There's some nice talent in the second half of the first round. How much better do you think Knox is going to get? I just don't see it happening.


If we could get a first round pick for him I would do it. But not even sure we would get that.

Consequently, it'll be real real stupid to now trade Knox after hiring Kenny Payne.

What do u have against Kenny Payne? :lol: :D :P

TBH I don't think he has much trade value at all. he'd be a throw in for a package for someone like CP3 or he'd probably net you a 2nd round pick.

He has a lot of flaws and I can understand anyone's reticence with the idea he'll progress. If he can just become a bit more efficient on the offensive end, or better yet, if they allow him to try and create on the ball or if he becomes a better slasher/cutter to the paint off the ball, he can easily improve his trade value.

I just think this team has been so abysmal from a coaching perspective the pat 2 seasons that we should get a better idea on whether or not his career is salvageable now that we have an elite level HC here as well as a promising developmental staff.

I saw some news that OKC was mostly interested in Knox in a CP3 trade. I have no idea of the credibility of the rumor though.

Quick question from a Laker fan:

What do you all think about Kuzma for Knox and #38?

Kuzma is not bad, but "superstar" is a bit of a stretch.

He's a bust with some decent late-bloomer potential but it would still be highly idiotic to trade him for Russ.

Any Knick fan who says no to this smokes crack on 125th and Lexington.

Knox will be out of the NBA in 2 seasons.

Knox does nothing virtually good.

Atleast Kuzma has drip.


As a Laker fan, why?

Doesn't Kwame Brown hunt you guys still? Don't let Knox make that look like heaven. Knox is pure trash. He wouldn't even produce in Puerto Rico's league BSN and that means Bodega owners are better than him.

He doesn't really have any basketball skills. It was clear when his highlights from college and summer league were just wide open three point shots and dunks. Every time he drives, I think he's gonna hurt himself and every player in the paint.

Is he still obsessed with Fortnight? His draft day suit was terrible.

It's tough to call him a bust because he probably didn't expect to be drafted anywhere near where he did. He should've been a second round pick.

He's not worth a minute of playing time, but he's still young.

Don't tease us. Do the lakers have a second rounder? Knox for that would be lovely

Gotta give time to these guys until year 4. Unless you can flip for a first rounder.

So he's gonna bump that shooting % up from 36% to 38%?
Brian Geltzeiler: You see Mark Jackson getting a head coaching job as early as next year?

Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.
