Man this guy's career couldn't be going much worse. At least for his sake he found a team to give him $70 million.

Still, i wish I could be rubbish at my job and still be paid 14million a year.

I hear that it happened while playing against some of the guys he was training at his skills camp. They crossed him over and he bit on it hard.

Good news:
-He won't take any time away from our youngsters.
-He won't get any chance to stop the ball movement and kill our offense.
-We're stuck with him, but he will be so busy doing rehab that he probably won't be with the team much.

Bad news:
-Between his play and his injury, the smart thing for him to do is ride out his contract. No way he takes a buyout for a dime less.
-If we do trade him, we WILL have to include an asset.
-He'll never be the same. Quickness and lateral movement will suffer.
-His value will now peak in summer of 2019 as an expiring.

Dunno about that. Knight is young and he wants to play in the NBA. I doubt he's OK sitting on the bench for 2+ years. (it'll be 1.5 by the time he's done rehabbing the ACL, 3.5 by the time he's done with his contract). A buyout next offseason then signing a one year deal somewhere he can get plenty of playing time to prove himself for another contract makes sense to me.

feel sorry for Knight. Career was on the up then traded to Suns then just messed up his career.

Got paid though.

come on man. The guy was miserable here even before this happened and want to pile on him even more? lets just be decent here - keep the guy on the roster for a season, till he gets back on his feet and see where we stand next year. he's not gonna take minutes from any young guy or ruin the locker room and we are in no need for salary cap space either. So just give him time to get back healthy and give his agent a whole year to try to find another team for him.

The kid felt really bad about doing it too, but Knight just placed his hand upon the Kids head and told him that its alright, and everything will be ok.

Brandon Knight Skills Camp?

Brandon Knight school of shot selection.

They actually want him and they have had trouble using their cap space. They have a pretty good group of 1-3s, but they now lack in bigs. I'm glad they took him because I feared they might be one team that could MAYBE offer Warren way too much money.

they still have the possibility to do so - 18 mil cap space next year with options to increase it to 30 so... Also they just drafted a pretty decent C so it'll probably depend on how the season goes for them.

Man Knight really just didn't want to be traded again, huh? On a serious note, I hope he takes the season off in stride, watches as much film as he can, and comes back ready to prove himself.

I'm also hoping that Devon sees this as a time to step up and step in.

While this is bad news for Knight, and I genuinely feel for him, it is clarity for the Suns. No more trying to include him in deals to our disadvantage. No more talk of a buyout. No more talk of waiving him. The injury does the same as waiving him. He will not be in the clubhouse. He will not be disgruntled. He will not be pining for minutes or complaining that the Suns have ruined his career (to be fair, he hasn't done that yet, but now we know it won't happen). He is a 14 million cap hit and nothing more. Time to move on.

No more to be done with Brandon Knight for now.

If the Lakers win the lottery next year then the BK trade could go down as one of the worst in NBA history.

NBA HISTORY!

Think about that .

Where do you think he will rehab?

Nah, dude. You rehab Brandon Knight. You continue to be kind. Hopefully, he can put things back together for himself. That would start by being a productive player off the bench. You just hold and keep playing the long game, because that's the best game in this town.

Booker and Jackson gonna terrorize teams one day. Bender's gonna come off the bench one day and nail four straight threes, ending a game in the second or third quarter. Ulis is going to have that month where he averages 10 APG on a 5:1 A/TO.

BK's injury effects basically nothing from the Suns POV. Worst case scenario was BK being a very unhappy camper. That possibility has basically been eliminated. And that's that.

LukasBMW · Post #1316 » by **LukasBMW** » Tue Jul 25, 2017 9:40 pm

Also,

No way we trade Bledsoe at his point unless we get another young PG back. It's gonna be a pure Bledsoe/Ulis rotation.

I actually like that a lot!

Not really for Knight, he still gets paid, and when he heals, he can sign a cheap deal, and still make his money. Heck, he could play overseas and make extra cash, right?

He might rehab in the clubhouse or we might send him to a specialist in NY or even let him stay in Miami. I'd bet both the team and BK agree to an out of state rehab.
