My Question, why is everyone throwing Knox in trades? He seems to be improving, good guy and a hard worker. Did something happen that had everyone throwing him in trade scenarios ?

DeAndre told them Brooklyn was the better option? Which reporter spit that BS out their mouth? So many media people saying so many different things and people just choosing what to believe without knowing what is and isn't true even though i'd have to guess at least 85% of everything the media put out was wrong or a lie or whatever.

Do agents put these fake rumors out in order to use fan excitement to get GM’s to giving up more in trades ?

have to give up talent to get talent. IMO RJ, Mitch, and DSJ all have more potential than Knox, so I'd be fine giving up Knox in a deal for Beal

Since when does Bradley Beal demand a AD kind of haul? He is a Robin not a Batman.


Agreed, he might be underrated but In my opinion that's on him and his sometimes passive behavior on the court.


its still gonna take that kind of deal (plus salary fillers) to acquire him. plus, league opinion on Knicks prospects aren't very high. in this scenario, at least get to keep Mitch, RJ, and DSJ who are arguably the young players w/ the most potential on the team


If that's what it's going to take I'm not with it.

I Can see where you are coming from. It’s crazy to see a Knicks Roster with this much young talent. I don’t ever remember seeing us loaded with this much potential

When you say he seems to be improving is that what you got from the one summer league game or have you seen something else to make you say that?

IT was a good showing progress in the right direction. You can’t say it’s for sure he has improved but he is off to the right start. I haven’t heard anything negative about him when it comes to him working on his game

So then it was from a reporter? I didn't feel like reading all that but skimmed through most of it to see if i could catch DeAndre saying anything but didn't really see anything but it was just a reporter saying he said that and DeAndre didn't actually say it or did he?

The media knows that there are at least 1.5 million knuckle dragging imbeciles in the tri-state area that will gobble up their regurgitated BS like baby birds. The talking heads will go to air with the speculation, and the radio and print crowd will lazily report on the reports. “There are reports”, “we’re getting reports”. It’s all a big sham without an ounce of accountability.

Excellent question and I've refused to address it because I've gone on record as stating he's going to be improved and is going to be very good. The hate on this kid boggles me.... for the record: I would not trade away Knox for WB.

Mention the Knicks every time with every thng because they are the click bait catnip but no way do they want anything to do with a supermax head case..... It ain't happening!
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
