FVV is the most overrated player ever. He’s like a spot up shooting poor mans Lowry

Knicks should extend Frank, before they have to overpay next year.

Soon enough we’ll strike out on the Elfrid Paytons of the world.

Sorry to break it to you, but that was always going to be the case the minute they announced Thibs as Coach.

this time it's probably for real. RJ and Mitch look like core pieces, and Obi was 1 of the safer picks in the draft. add in a top 10 pick in a loaded 2021 (as well as 3 other picks that'll be in the top 40) and I like our chances

Top 10 picks mean nothing. Knox, Frank and even DSJ are all top 10 picks. How are they looking? Everyone says the draft is loaded, but perceptions about draft classes can change real quick. The 2014 draft was supposed to be loaded with Wiggins, Parker and Embiid and now only one of those players is an allstar level player

Even if we get a top 3 pick there is no guarantee that the pick is an allstar. At least one pick in the top 3 is a bust every year. Sh*t even if we get the first pick and draft Cade there is no guarantee we win anything. In the past 10 years the only number one pick to win a championship has been Anthony Davis and Kyrie. If you expand the list to the past 20 years the list increases to Lebron, Dwight, AD, Bogut, Kyrie.

Only Lebron has won as the best player on a championship team, playing on the team that drafted him 1st in the past 20 YEARS. And he had to leave win in Miami and come back for that to happened.

Stop tanking. Try to be competitive.

some prospects fail, it happens, that's why during the rebuilding phase you load up on picks. more bites at the apple=more chances for success

true there is a chance that our top pick next year is a bust, but there's still a greater chance we find a star w/ that pick than we would bu signing some B-level FA's + we also have 4 picks in the top 40 (hornets and pistons will be bottom 10 teams)

there are at least 7 prospects that had they been eligible to be drafted Wednesday, would have easily gone #1. things could change, the draft might not end up as good as we thought, could also end up better. after watching some of them, I think there are some truly special talents (Cade, Green, Boston most notably)

you can't win in this league w/o stars and you can either draft, sign, or trade for stars. since I dont see any stars signing here (even in 2021), and there are none on the trade market (other than Harden, who doesn't want to be here), the draft is the most viable option as well as accumulating picks + young talent in case another star becomes available via trade

I wanted to give him that bag. Glad he’s staying.

Isn't there a minimum we have to spend in terms of the cap?

MaseInYourFace · Post #492 » by **MaseInYourFace** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:39 pm

Yeah for us to beat Toronto on FVV probably had to more money less years and even then he probably stays in Toronto.

Thibs ready to turn him to D Rose 2.0

Yea, that is the other issue. To actually make it worthwhile we would have to give him a significant amount more

Question if Randle could even get him anymore

10 games you say?

that was honestly a super weird thing to say. he was 40%+ on the year from 3.

People use “last 10 game” stats for RJ Barrett & other players but for Rozier it’s weird? Ok lol

Nah, Frank still has too much to show improvement on. He’s already passive and you wanna give him a bag?
