Agree. My FOOL status with The Prophet Kiid, notwithstanding (his Bromance with Jimmer, and Hard On for Frank, already a matter of public record).
Not sure Fizz wants Frank in Westchester anymore than he wanted Knox or Robinson.
And with all due respect to Biz, I do not believe that the Knicks have CONCLUDED that Frank is not a PG.
He has not been BENCHED anymore than Mario or Demyean.
Fizz seems intent not on benching players but on what parents like to call TIME OUT.
Not so much as an exercise in sitting in the corner until you eat your spinach, as a point of reflection, a way of observing the game and reflecting on how you might impact it through creative visualization.
Sometimes, in the creative realm, you need to step back and take another perspective.
Certainly worked like a charm for Kevin and Mitchell and Demyean in a dramatic overtime win against one of the league's best teams, particularly for Dotson, who has responded to this TIME OUT, and speculation about his contract and trade inquiries with a stretch of dramatic shooting efficiency.
Now, with Burke nursing a sprained knee, Frank will see some burn at the point, with the template of Emmanuel's aggression and efficiency to motivate him. Ditto those physical growth issues Facil duly noted.
PS: Aw Chip, you never want to entertain any trades. Not so...however, aspersions as to my reticence to package draft picks and assets and SUNDER TEAM CHEMISTRY for shiny objects, and expletives such as FUCK JIMMY and FUCK BEAL, are not so much insults as to the OBVIOUS TALENT of such players, as an expression of my willingness to be patient, based on our Knicks's well-documented and dubious history of quick fixes. I am certainly prepared to have Forumites mock me for expressing a predilection to dance with the girls you brung, and, to borrow a well-used phrase, TRUST THE FUCKING PROCESS. So, does that make Demyean Dotson a better player than Bradley Beal? Does that mean I am too dense to kowtow to the notion that trading our starting center and our starting point guard for said expensive shining object is a no brainer? YOUR CALL. What it means to me is that I value our player developments and our draft picks; that the process of watching Tim Hardaway rack up assists, drain free throws [okay, he was 2-4, but 3-8 from trey] and take offensive fouls in the form of charges [#2 in the league] in winning TEAM EFFORTS is gratifying when the majority his shots aren't falling; that watching Alonzo Trier evolve into a combo guard capable at times of initiating the offense and racking up assists is as gratifying as pulling my pud at the prospect of cashing in assets for a shiny object; and that Demyean Dotson may not [yet] rate a comparison to Bradley Beal, but when I witness a stat line against a top tier team that includes 7-9 shooting, on 5-5 from trey, with 5 rebounds an assist and a steal and only 1 personal foul and no turnovers for a team leading +15 in 33 minutes off the bench, well, I'm going to be so bold as to say FUCK BEAL, trust the process, revel in the coming of age of players such as Dotson and Mudiay and Vonleh, and exercise PATIENCE in the nurturing process of Fizz regarding the likes of publically mocked UNDERACHIEVING PUPPIES such as Knox and Robinson as well as BUSTS such as French Frank and Subpar Mario.
PPS: That's the long answer. The short answer? FUCK YOU TOO, Kiid.
