I don't blame him for the poor team performance. But maybe his intangibles were not that good.

By the way, it's not uncommon for mediocre players to have excellent stats during short stretches when they get inspired/pumped by a big opportunity. Then, his minutes and stats went downhill and no team gave him more than a 6M/y contract in Free Agency.

I think he can be very useful to us this season. But its not healthy to expect too much from him.



True but we also didn't have OG during a lot of that stretch.


I mean his stats were not so great after this timeframe (game 65 to 82).

He is a tweener. Cant shoot to be a PF and is kind of small to start at the center position.

It looks like no team offers him a better contract than a 6M/1y.

He's a trade throw in scrub. Knicks have totally **** up their center position
