Credit to Fiz if trying to win.

Mario a better fit with THJr and Burke, Knox a disaster with them

Me too, brother. Doesn’t stop me from yelling at my TV telling world-class athletes how to do their jobs.


Ha. Me too! Frank -shoot that! It's there all day! :D

I’ve been yelling at the TV for longer than Frank’s been alive. And the kid still won’t listen!

when this groin heals up we should be on the other side of the trade deadline. frank needs to put in WORK on that court down the stretch. take all the time you need to get healthy before some extended burn.

KP might come back and re-ignite that chemistry too.
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

He's been very good the last couple of games. Impressive versus Miami.

Plus hopefully Burke and Mudiay will be gone so he won’t have to look over his shoulder

Yes, not having to twist to look over his shoulder certainly would decrease the likelihood of re-aggrevating the groin-strain.

yeah, he should have at least added a smiley face to take some of the bitterness out of it. Scoring is just one aspect of the game. His defense right now is far more valuable on this roster and going forward than his offense at the 1 will likely ever be. Hell, if Frank became a big scorer guys would complain that he's looking for his own shot too much.

A guy like Frank.....I don't believe his value can ever really show on a poor team. Surround him with better players and he'd be the ultimate glue guy. Good defense, unselfish and able to make a good pass when the opportunity presents itself. This is coming from a guy that has been critical of him all season.


Yeah lucky for you guys KP and Frank are one of the best defensive duos in the NBA

I don't think Ntilikina is a star. With these expiring deals all over the place its a perfect time to see if we can move him. We are receiving 2 picks that will be low picks. Would be nice if we can flip for players of more substance.

I don’t think he will stay past trade deadline. They want to erase Phil era completely

Start Frank next to DSJ at the 2. Let's see what we really have now.

I love Frankie and I don't want to see him leave in any deal. I'm so glad Burke and Hardaway are off this team. I'm pretty sure Frank developed a friendship with DSJ from last summer, let's see if these 2 can coexist as our future backcourt. I like the idea of having 2 playmakers/ballhandlers in our backcourt, now one of them just has to become a good shooter from the perimeter and we're in good shape.

DSJ/Frank/Knox/Mitchell and MAYBE Dotson are the guys I'd move forward with, everyone else is trade fodder IMO. We've gotten even younger now in this trade since I doubt Matthews or Jordan are apart of this team's future.

Frank should be kept now that we have DSJ

All he needs is a consistent jumper and he's a super valuable player

But I'm pretty sure he's next on the chopping block

Frank is the last Phil era player. Will be buried on the bench - or traded for paper napkins.
