Pretty pretty concerned

More concerned about his play when he is available.

People are really gonna be concerned when they realize his low trade value keeps dropping.

He is a salary dump next year.

Tbh Midds’ value was never going to be that high to begin with. He’s an ageing star with a growing list of injury issues. Still immensely valuable imo (to us) but just can’t seem to stay healthy

Drop this and the Orlando game and we’re battling with the Hawks for the ninth seed with Chicago not far off in 10th.

I'm pretty happy with how Khris has played for the most part. He may be two years from Old Man Kukoc though.

Because they're load managing him in game 1 of a back to back? I'm more concerned about who they plan on sitting out in game 2 of the back to back.

I wonder if Khris was given the day off for being the only player that didn't self load manage the Knicks game?

Win this and the Orlando game and we’re in the 4th seed?

The guy who was supposed to be ready by the start of the season, didn't come back until he was "100%" 2 months into the season but has been playing for a month on minutes restrictions because he can't play without discomfort?

Yeah.

Yeah.

No reason to worry about it, because even when he plays Khris is a nonfactor most of the time. Just think about him as another Taurean Prince and don't worry anymore.

Meh, I don't subscribe to that.

Of course there should be concern about Khris. There's no championship possible without him playing at a relatively high level.

When he's been in there, he hasn't been moving well, but there's still time.

emunney · Post #34 » by **emunney** » Tue Jan 14, 2025 4:49 pm

I just don't understand why nobody's talking about this

fansinceforever · Post #35 » by **fansinceforever** » Tue Jan 14, 2025 5:09 pm

I mean, I wanted to move Khris in the summer time and was piled on for it...

Everything that's happening now with the team as a whole was pretty evident then. I guess with Khris's ankle surgery it really didn't matter.

Huh? He’s been one of the most impactful players whenever he’s on the court. Dame is the real non-factor.

Sucks about his body though, as soon as I seen he had two ankle surgeries I felt it was over.

Of course. Most here are not casual or fair weather fans. We watch. Sure it's frustrating sometimes. 29 teams won't win the championship this year. It doesn't mean we stop watching our team.

This is gonna be a character game for us. MUST WIN.

I think he’s referring to Middleton being a non factor which is true.
