Official Frank Ntilikina Thread

[HarthorneWingo]

The org really batting a 1.000 on the foreign guys, eh?
WHG - meh
KP - attitude
Frank - sorta sucks
Mario - see above
Noah - honorary foreigner, not good as a Knick
Mudiay - technically a foreigner, not technically good
Gallo - brokeback, then achieved some success elsewhere

Who was the last foreign player they really hit on? Prigioni?

I know I'm missing a few.
Does Copeland count, even though he wasn't any good anyway?

Who can forget N'Dour and an extra unnecessary win. Or the great Alexi Shved.

Don’t leave out Tasha’s B’s problems with Gasol. Hornacek was a Euro hater too. Kept on calling them “pussies” lol.

Shved was actually decent. I don't know why we let him walk. Sasha was a fugging Phil gift. We got him waaaay past his finer days.

SHVED! I loved Shved. Bring him home!

We might have seen the French Prince's last game for the orange and blue. Sad.

Knicks arent a anti euro organization. Others reasons can explain the hard time with the euros. Besides, we have a hard time with the majority of americans we sign.

WHG - second round pick. We could not expect much from him. Offensive bigs are easily replaced.

KP - great pick at the draft. Its easily to explain his behavior. First FO have upseted his friends. Have denied playing time to WHG and try forced Melo to be traded. Second FO have made KP franchise player too soon (when he dont have the skills, durabiluly and emotional strength to handle the responsabily). After promised him to max him by FA time, FO tried to send him to a small market team. KP had motives to not trust the FO. But at the same time, the WHG and Melo trades and the failure trade to NO may be considered the right moves at the time.

Frank - Was a good triangle PG prospect. Trying too hard to play triangle was a bad move. Consequently, to pick such raw project at lottery pick was a bad move.

Mario - He was sort of waived from a bad team. We could not expect much from him.

Noah - He was a reserve in a bad team at the time. We could see his was not in his prime. He got a too great deal and only want to party after getting here.

Mudiay - Second round pick value. We could not expect much from him.

Gallo - Didnt see much future with Melo in the team if he was not traded. They both used to play as SF.

Bargnani - Draft Bust. Stupid FO signing. We could not expect much from him.

Kuz - Undrafted. We could not expect much from him.

Thenasis - Undrafted. We could not expect much from him.

No, they aren't anti Euro.

Apparently they are anti GOOD Euro, though



TLDR: Knicks suck

Good night, sweet Prince

A disastrous season for Frank, but I still have hope that he can become a solid player. Ultimately though, it could take a change of scenary given the situation.

[god shammgod]

frank is gonna have to figure out how to shoot or how to become such a force on defense that people will live with him not shooting. if not he probably won't last in the league. i do think we've probably seen the last of him here. they're gonna want his money used for a veteran role player when kd & kyrie come. they aren't gonna surround those two with nothing but young kids. it's gonna be a mix.

Mario, Mudiay and LFT are veterans

[SmoothLefty21]

I still don't see any reason to move the kid unless we can get a 1st, which isn't happening. He's still cheap, he's still developing, there's still the same old potential that's worth being patient for. It's not like this is a Fultz situation where with all sorts of toxic nonsense. Dumping him for a second makes no sense. I would give him one more year but I'd be surprised if he's still here next year.

well lance is. he and kd are actually very close too. if they can waive him and re-sign him, he'll be back for sure.

I think there's a chance all 3 will be back under that scenario.

And I promise I'm not being negative here. I actually think it makes sense.

mario seems to really like it here so that's possible if he can't make any more money elsewhere. mudiay i'm trying not to believe. especially if they keep dennis smith here it makes no sense.

[spree2kawhi]

It's sad, I was rooting for him. But the NBA isn't for everybody. Must be crazy how good these shooters really are. I mean, if Frank couldn't get there within two years... wow.

I'm saying that as a basketball player. I'd really be curious how much I could improve with those kinds of reps over two years.

You do realize Mudiay only just turned 23 a couple weeks ago right?

mario turned 24 last month I believe as well.

Exactly. So if Mudiay and Mario are vets. Then Dotson and Kornet gotta be considered vets too. And Trier must be old as well. All them older or the same age as Mudiay.

Buzz is likely being sarcastic, but I will say these guys are of age that the should be able to contribute to wins when surrounded by better talent.

[god shammgod]

it's less about age than nba experience but yeah, they're gonna want some actual veterans here. the knicks, if they get rid of frank, will have mitch, knox, dotson, trier, dennis smith jr, and whoever they pick this year. that's plenty of youth. they're gonna need a few guys with more experience if they're trying to compete soon. mudiay and mario are not exactly what i would call savy.

Oh, I can never tell with him.

I wish I had still more hope for him. so sad how it goes right now

I know you don't like to hear it but they might just get rid of them all for AD.
