We are happy about the tank commander this year, but next year :noway: Doesn't even think about passing when he touches the ball.

Damn it, Knight isn't even able to make a good case for his own trade value right now. Why the hell else are we giving him all these minutes for? Twelve 3s?? Wtf is wrong with you man.

Knight probably too far down the road to win back the support of Suns fans.

The only thing we know for certain is he definitely isn't a point guard. Need a dominant ball handler to hide his really terrible PG instincts.

Knight/Bled could still work out.

I wonder if this is what the scouting report on Knight is like: Undersized, high volume shooting guard with low fg%, poor ball handling and passing skills, low IQ, and bad defense. Can occasionally go on hot streaks that will carry a team for a quarter or two.

Knight makes a fool of himself so many times...it's just incredible. He can not be an starter on a serious team.

I am sure that McDonough and Watson know that at this point and they are going to try to fix it this summer.

One of the worst trades in recent memory. Even Plumdog has been putting up OK numbers recently in Milwaukee. Plus we'd have Ennis playing instead of Price, and the pick... :banghead: :noway:

Can we please trade Brandon "30 seconds on the shot clock and down by 1? HERO BALL." Knight this off season for a bag of practice balls?

- We get back to 3rd in the lottery.


We'll probably trade Booker before he turns 23 for a 10 year vet with a knee problem...

It feels like even if that Lakers pick is the 30th pick in the 2018 draft it is a bad trade. But if it ends up being a Hield or Dunn for Knight trade because Lakers drop to 4th, or possibly even worse would be a potential 4th pick next year or 1st pick in 2018, it could be knightmarish bad.

I think Knight's long 3 ball at the end was basically a nice demonstration of how bad McD missed on that one.

Hands down the worst trade by McD. It could become a Knightmare with non-favorable ping pong balls. Now the FO needs to clean up that disaster. Hopefully it won't be a situation like with Kieff where it takes forever.

Ryan McD made a mistake. I'm sure he knows. I'm sure he's gonna make it up for it too. The thing with being a GM.. Not every trade you make will always turn out to be a good trade. Personally, I like when GM's takes risks. I will never blame anyone in life for taking a chance on something that they saw and can support that would work. McD has done great things.

I still think Knight coming off the bench next season will be huge. He's not starting next season.

The shot clock only has 24 seconds & that particular shot was taken with 12 seconds left on it. But it was still monumentally stupid down 1 point and in the BONUS.

Amazes me to think that Knight actually got into an Ivy League school,just goes to show that booksmarts doesn't necessarily translate to BBIQ as a decision maker . At least Bledsoe has something upstairs

He was just feeling it though. You just get that feeling, you can't miss. Nothing but the bottom of the net. Unfortunately it didn't go through the hoop though before hitting the bottom of the net.

Oh please. Eric is just as bad. His late game decision making is putrid. The only reason i want to hang on to him is for his defense and rim finishing ability. Booker will handle the ball in crunch time starting next season which will minimize the issues we have with Eric at PG. The turnovers will still be a problem but hopefully he cleans that up a little.

They are both chokers that Milwaukee game convinced me that we should ditch both of them, cant execute a simple in bounds play to save their lives, the wheels came off right after. Bledsoe may be no floor general, but he is still light years ahead of Knight running the point which again ain't saying much

Knight would be a good 6th man.
Volume scorer off bench as a starter he will take away from booker,warren and Len.
