How's it going man?

I feel like I haven't seen you around in forever. Glad you're back.

Thanks! All good here. And yeah, it's been a while.

I'll prolly hang for the duration now that things are interesting again. Can't wait to see what this team does. From the looks of it there's gonna be a bunch of guys on this team with something to prove.

As a player you want to be part of an organization that wants you and has confidence in you. With the Knicks that seems almost impossible for Frank. I think the Magic is good for him because their interest in him is clear as day.

I fully expect this to blow up in the Knicks face as usual.

I thought Fiz said he had a fetish for length and Pillzdale is always talking about defense so no love for Frank tells me all I need to know about their motivations..... despising anything Jax did.

Let Kornet go when he was cheap and a plus player on both sides of the ball is just silly. Dot looks like he's probably next on the hit list.... except what's the deal with their LT obsession?

They're not going to play him.

which is a mistake over the current roster...he has the most potential in terms of his outside shot out of any of the PG's to play off the ball with RJ and Randle. Plus he is clearly the best defensive guard on the roster...which this team sorely needs guys who defends because outside of Mitch this team will be a disaster on the defensive end.

Don't look at me - I'm building my own franchise.

Like Clyde said, I think for everyone's sake, it'd be a good thing if he can go somewhere where he'd be valued and get a chance.

Im only fine with this if we land an asset

The Magic has their own 2020 1st and 2nd round picks along with the Lakers 2020 2nd round pick. What is interesting is that the Magic don't have any cap space so they can't simply absorb Frank's contract without the Knicks taking someone back. Well not unless they find a 3rd team with cap a player that can be absorb one of the Magic's contracts.

Yeah at this point its best he's in a situation where they actually value him. We probably wont extend him so why even bother.

Didn't Fiz just see Ntilikina workout? :lol:

I doubt we'd get anything more than a 2nd round pick.

layup line. If he gets traded we have 3, literally 3 players who is known for defense.

Watch it be Frank for Fultz

Fun fact about Fultz, Landry Shamet scored more points for the 6ers in the half season he was there than Fultz did in 2 years

This is dumb. Develop the kid as a 3-and-D. Defense is already elite. His shot not broken. I think it’s a confidence issue and the fact he doesn’t get a lot of reps. Plus he can pass and have a good iq.

Put him in a position to succeed and stop trying to turn him into something he’s not.

Smh this will be a move we regret.

It'll be DJ and a pick with DJ getting waived

It's annoying how some of you say Ntilikina didn't get a chance. He got over 20 mpg and he's been one of the biggest busts in NYK history. Truthfully he didn't earn or deserve those minutes and only got them cause that idiot Phil drafted him with the 8th pick.
Ntilikina has nobody to blame but himself. He hasn't been good. Simple as that.

John Hammond two weeks ago on Fultz:

So, it’s just a matter of him just continuing to get more comfortable, continuing for him to get himself in a position where he’s ready to step on the floor and help us. And look, we have no idea when that’s going to be.

Sounds like he's not coming around. They need a live body.

That would fit salary wise.

I like Frank but a trade makes sense. Payton & Smith leave little time for Frank and there's Kadeem.

Its legion sports but im tired of seeing him in rumors. Allen showed more unfortunately but if the Jazz didnt give up on Exum why are we giving up on Frank?

Then theres Ellington and Bullock. Having frank nailed to the bench aint cool. However I dont like it. All these offensive friendly guys you need guys like Frank who dont mind being a team guy.

To think there were guys here beating the drum to draft him.

Injury concerns aside I'm intrigued by the idea of Jokic, Porter and Bol together on a front line, so tall and skilled.
