What exactly are we doing with Ihart?

Politics - We signed him so Thibs is forced to play him to justify the contract

We are playing him to showcase him for a trade

He's been kinda hurt/not 100% and we are giving him a chance to play himself back to normal productivity

As bad as he's played Thibs still trusts him more than Sims

Some other reason - please elaborate.

It's obvious he's a liability out there so what's up?

You realize there were only a few guys today on our roster who had a positive +/- and he was one of them...

Trade him to DEN. He’d be a solid backup C for Jokic.

Just not the type of C we need

I'm not sure he has any value. Maybe if a team has an injury.

He is a solid center, but not for this team, this team mostly plays ISO ball, and a center like Robinson who is there to rebound the ball, putbacks and doesn't require touches to be effective fits better. Honestly Sims seems like a better fit, he could be like Mitch if the Knicks decide to develop him, so trading Hart for some wing help or a back-up PG would be great for the Knicks.

Who knows? What are we doing with anyone on the roster? Thibs fitting square pegs into round holes? Running guys into the ground. Short rotations. Etc etc.

They built a treadmill and hired the perfect HC to grind out reg season wins at the expense of the players health and value. BRILLIANT!

9 guys get to play. The same 9 guys. All of the time. The only way anyone else plays is injury. Period. No matter what. Win or lose it is the same until his hand is forced. THAT'S what we are doing with Shart...Obi...Cam...Evan...Rose...Sims...Deuce...oh ..and he did it with Grimes too.

9 guys in the rotation and eberyone else is end of the bench!

He is consistently positive. I don't see how he is "the problem"

Who are you quoting? I don't recall anyone saying he is "THE" problem. That said I think his play is "A" problem,despite the misleading +/- stats.

How is he a problem if he is consistently on the court when we are moving farther ahead rather than blowing the 20 point leads.

You made a thread to label him as someone we should move. I don't see it. I think we under-utilize him because he can rim protect and shoot. He could easily be putting up Bro-Pez type numbers. With Mitch having his injury history, we need depth at that position and Hart has very good advanced stats and has had a positive impact.

He looked much worse playing with sims.
The guy has provided a lot of value , only case against him is him stealing sims minutes.
But it’s a risk to rely on rim runner for a full 48 minutes which could hurt the team in a lot of ways

Doesn't seem like we're seeing the best of him. Recall back when he was signed it was virtually unanimous across the basketball world it was a great signing, both player and price. Things like "Best under the radar signing of the summer" type sht. And a bunch of Clips fans were pissed or upset.

If you can't see that he's a liability out there I don't know what to tell you.

Thibs has no use for offensive minded centers. At all. It's not Shart as much as it is Thibs IMO.
