Damn Baller, that's too harsh on a 21-year-old who really hasn't gotten a chance. The young man has fluid shooting mechanics, unlike our two other point guards.

In the end, you could be right. But let's see what happens.

And fck RJ Bust. :P


It appears no one in the Federation wants to help you out, so you'll just have to suffer!



“I want to like the kid, but I have worries.” the scout told Keith Smith of Real GM. “Is he Wiggins 2.0? I think he’s got more fire than Wiggins, but he is like a lefty version of him for me somewhat. The best thing the Knicks did was bring in some vets who will kick his ass if he’s too cool. I will say he passes it better already than Wiggins ever has. Maybe he’s Evan Turner 2.0?”

Lets not make these crazy comparisons for frank to pippen or iggy both are hall fame players and frank hasn't close to that yet or ever come close to those guys. Frank offensive game is very bad he needs to be some sort of threat offensively if he is going to remain on this team or in nba. Point guards today have to be threat on offensive in today nba if you going to play point guard in nba it not like old days when we had charlie ward as a starter.


iguodala ain't going to no damn hall of fame.

edit: i see this malarkey was addressed.

Just trade him. They’re never going to give him a legitimate shot. One mistake and he won’t see the floor for another 5 games.

You know its bad when you can't trade 21 year old frank for an expiring contract that's how bad his value is right now. Perry can't even get a second round pick for frank either frank improves or he gets waived end of feburary after the deadline .

Not worried about RJ at all. I think he has the winner mindset. He doesn't have Frank's psychological handicaps.

Talent wise I wouldn't compare them as they will play so differently, but I still see Frank as an untapped talent if he can crack the shell and climb out of his egg.

he struggled with injuries during Fiz’s tenure so can we please stop with this “he was never given a real shot” and he was playing like a deer in headlights on offense. I wouldve benched him too.

Why? He was part of our most productive lineup and a top 10 defense in the league.

Especially when the answer is probably more reps, and the only alternative is Mudiay, who you had no plans of retaining.

No he wasn't. Not being a chucker ≠ being a deer in headlights.

We all know the defense is there. The passing is solid. Why not flesh it out? We were the worst team in the NBA and our 2nd year lotto pick was getting DNP CDS. No one else had as short a leash as him. This is not some made up narrative. Can we please stop pretending like they've ever shown a strong commitment to his growth?

It's not a Fiz thing. It's a FO thing. They have never committed to him for whatever reason.

So I say trade him instead of wasting another year. Maybe you get some small assets back. Better than the inevitable where they let him walk away for nothing. Plus I want this kid to get a chance with a team who's willing to go through the growing pains. For him, we will not go through the growing pains.
