I don't think NY are letting him go anyway.

Freak athletes? In terms of athleticism Ntilikina is average at best.

He has only 8 mins in the NBA so far, so no, he hasn’t shown anything yet. But we don’t need him right now, and he is only 19. It would be a prospect for the future, basically the 8th pick and O’Quinn (Who I have wanted since his draft day), for Bledsoe and a second rounder. We don’t need a second rounder next year, for we have a ton of young players plus two firsts, and a limited roster.


If he has done nothing against nba talent (not even a word of being impressive in practice or summer league or in someones backyard), what makes him a better prospect than Mudiay or any other potential clown being mentioned?!?! What makes him worth developing over other young guards who are around?


Well at least Mudiay is a proven terrible shooter in the league for two years. Unknown is probably better than knowingly bad.

Hadn't seen this yet...

Frustrated with the direction of the team, its whiffs in free agency and questionable personnel moves during his four years with the franchise, Bledsoe expressed that it was time he moved on, sources said. Bledsoe was then told by management, according to sources, that the team had underperformed ever since he was given starting point guard responsibilities.

McD should write a book on how to alienate players and light their trade value on fire. He's stunningly good at it.

Cant wait to see McD dragging this thing like Rich Paul did when Bledsoe was FA.
Should be a fun fight.

Reading the Knicks board, half of them (at least, it seems) don't even want Bledsoe even if it doesn't cost Frank, Willy or their 1st because Bledsoe would make their pick worse and doesn't fit their timeline. Sounds familiar.

Well much like when you fight with your wife just because something is true its doesn't mean its a smart thing to say.

Ugh, you were writing in all caps, and using !?!?!? After a few of your sentences. My trade was what you based your question off of, correct? Or did you just randomly choose Frank? :roll:

And I did answer your question, you just didn’t like my answer I guess. He was a future prospect.


Still not trying to argue with you and you still seem angry. (eye roll?) I get it, you focused on punctuation and trying to prove your point. My post had nothing to do with your post specifically (i did not quote you with the first question about frank). There have been a few posters that have seemed to like the trade possibility with the Knicks and I was asking why Frank, you just happened to be the last to mention Frank so I can see how you could have been confused and figured I was specifically commenting to your post. This is why when you mentioned O'Quinn, I again referred to what qualities Frank had to catapult him to being wanted that bad. Can you not see any of this or are you just focused on disagreement? I have now multiple times tried to calmly explain why we are missing each other on understanding and you keep posting the same ****.

I’d take O’Quinn and French Frank, and we’d throw in a second rounder, would that work?


Nah, we're keeping Frank ... as far as I know. :lol:

I wouldn’t mind to see this drag out long to then get traded to a bad team. Ever since that tweet, i can’t stand Eric Bledsoe. People coming down on the suns organization is not right to me. Bledsoe could have handled this so much better.

That doesn’t mean you won’t do it though, since neither you nor I make any team descisions. Our second rounder was pretty high this last draft, which means you could still get a decent player, that doesn’t have to be guaranteed. Lee for us is not needed, we still have Knight, Reed, and currently Daniels, all behind Booker as it is. And TJ and Jackson taking all the sf mins, with Bender being able to take spot up minutes at that position.

Although I really like O’Quinn, you really aren’t giving me much to work with for Bledsoe. Plus you are trying to keep KP, so I think the trade is pretty even currently.

I'd be shocked if we traded Frank without even seeing him on the court. Plus, Bledsoe's health history isn't exactly inspiring.

I think your view of Bledsoe's value around the league is a little inflated. What other offers are you guys getting from other teams around the league for him?
