Lets not pretend we loved the Knight deal from the beginning. It was horrible then, and its horrible now. We only talked ourselves into liking Knight because of this great play at the start of the season, and because we had to for our own mental health. Giving up that pick and young players in Plumlee and Ennis too? Well thats just gravy.
IT had to be chased out of town because of the chaos he "caused". Dragic was crying, and the front office had to look for someone who was responsible (even though it was their fault). The suns fandom would riot had we kept the supposedly "ballhog" and napoleon complex IT over their homegrown hero Goran.
Personally id have neither of the three PG's. Draft picks are sexier because if they pan out, you get control of a young player for low cost for a long time. If you dont wanna take it, you can always trade it for good value. And really, Bled is good enough. The fiasco at last years trade deadline should have been a sign for the FO to ditch the two PG lineup. Now im just glad its gonna be forcibly gone because of our lights-out SG rook.
I'm with you and Frank on this. I've made no secret that I strongly disliked the Knight trade from the beginning. I don't disagree that Knight is probably a better fit next to Bledsoe because of his size and in that respect, McD did the right thing by getting your "star" player a team mate that is a better fit. But I never thought Knight was that guy. I didn't like how he got points, I didn't like his offense and I didn't like that he couldn't run an offense. I especially didn't like that he's coming off
