Believe I read all players currently on NBA deals are replaced by active D-Leaguers.

Or G-Leaguers. Whatever.

Carmelo getting the nod to replace Love is lame.

Good to see that Kemba is going to be practicing his 3 point shots during the break.

33 points for Frank in 19 minutes... one of the only competent USA players in the 2nd half

Maybe he has his 3 pt confidence back?

Just finished the game on DVR. FRANK!!!!! **** yeah Frank. 33 pts, 9 of 13 from 3pt. Dude is such a confidence & rhythm player. When he gets it going, watch out.

Lets hope Kemba represents us as well as Frank did tonight.

Side note: Looks like Frank and Jokic are now best buds. Frank needs to get in his ear about demanding a trade to Charlotte :)

It's amazing how good some people shoot when the defense is playing loose

yeah it reminded me of Tim Hardaway Jr when he had the awesome rookie all star game, looked like Bird.

I'm not going to get too excited about Franks performance, but its certainly a better sign than if he looked like a scrub out there.

I hope Kemba tries to do some recruiting pitch to future free agents.

I'm not saying I'm confident he can be that guy, but there is a secret part of me that is starting to wonder if our FO and staff views our secondary scorer as already on the roster in Frank.

Gordon: 37.2
Kyrie: 45.5
Lowry: 42.2
Wes: 38.5
McCollum: 39.2

Pulling for the upset.

At worst Frank bumped his trade value a bit right before the deadline.

I'm pretty sure Frank is here for the long term, for better or worse. The team turned down the Boston offer to get him, so to trade him away now would make them look pretty foolish.
