KP can get out of here soon.

no reason to stay.  NONE.

Actually I was going to make that same suggestion about you, ClipperJane.

Hey Nagel, pay no attention to your friend Chip. I want you here!



HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL

Happy New Year

[kiiidcarter8]

Yeah I disagree on the Frank article as well.  Doesn't profile as elite defender - just has long arms.

A tall point guard who can't do PG things or an average size sg who can't score at a high level.

A bench guy, regardless.

Haqppy New Years guys

all the best for 2019

sounds good.  sorry carlos.  you can carry the rest of the year and I'll take the rest of this miserable year off.  arguing with the taxi man is juvenile and not worth the time.

KT could mentor Vonleh.
Another option: LJ.

Both would have a lot to impart.

Sadly, all probably too old for this role.

Ok, Kam you have complained about Kanter's no-showing against stronger C's/teams.  But the one-game I Told You So, rubbed me the wrong way.  But I just don't get the Kant animus. He's almost certainly a placeholder this year keeping down the C position as best he can.  And less than halfway through the year, Fizz is already experimenting with General Tsao as our stretch 5.  And Mitch will be back soonish (I'd imagine). 

Does anyone have Kant as our longterm C?
KZ, Mitch and Kornet are our yute brigade at the 5.  But for now:
KZ still rehabbing.  Mitch is raw (and out with an ankle).  And Kornet a sharpshooting pup who can be banged around.

So Kant serves a useful purpose.  Absorbing minutes (and should be protecting Egg Foo Too Yung from Gobert).  Some games Kant totally beasts fools under the rim.  Great hands, good work ethic, physical, fearless, and dexterous on putbacks.  He's been fun to watch, easy to root for and a bright spot for much of this season.  Unfortunately his defense is poor and he is no rim deterrent.  And he clogs the paint on O.  David Lee's bigger Turkish cousin.

And the NBA has changed.  So Kant is most likely either a good-numbers-bad-team player, or a tough cover on a 2nd unit.  If Knix extend him, I assume the latter would be his role.  Which means he wouldn't get paid more than the mid-level (ie under $8.5M) and would be a bench/role player.  I expect Kant will want and look for a bigger payday and role than that.  I'd welcome him back at say $6M if he was willing to take on that role (I again, I doubt he wants that).

6m seems WAY too much, Bo.

Bropez is getting almost half of that.

[PrezIke]

P.S. Kanter HAS to be renounced before the Knicks can sign him due to his cap hold.

 Brook Lopez averaged FOUR rebounds per game before getting his current sub 4 mil deal.

He shot .465 after .475 the year before.

PER had fallen to 16.4

Lopez was also 4 years older

Okay, but that's never been his game to me. And we're talking since he was drafted. He got better, sure.

Trust me I've never been a huge fan of Lopez either for that reason, yet who's the better rim protector, shooter and doesn't get his shot constantly blocked by more athletic players?

Kanter is going to face a harsh reality in free agency, I suspect, but maybe someone desperate will splurge with so many having cap space - on say a 1 or 2 year deal.

[PrezIke]

Knox at least...excites

[PrezIke]

Frank able to perform thus far well. Good for him.

Hope he shuts my azz up. 

[kiiidcarter8]

Kanter has 9 and 5 in 8 minutes

Take him out!!!

[Kam]

Why demote Franc to greenlight him?


Re: Westchester.  You make it like Westchester Knix never have a road trip or that the Knix and Suburb NY Knix always play at Home at the same time.  You can probably find overlapping homestands here and there, but travel is the nature of things.  Anyway, my point was that I'd rather have hands-on and work with a player directly then leave it to others. I don't think AAA ball would be useful for Franc's confidence or development. 

Just start him again and give him extended minutes.
Free Franc . . .

Didn't Burke and Kornet do the daily double a few times? There are enough overlapping homestands to make it work.
 
And didn't it serve Tim Hardaway well to be demoted to AAA

You shouldn't be looking at it as a demotion but an opportunity.

There were days we would practice but Fiz wouldn't play Frank.

Those nights he could've gone to Westchester.

There's really no reason to have a G league affiliate if you're going to say no rookie  or 2nd year guy should go there.

I was hoping Chip wouldn't prevail.

That's too bad.


That's Chipstern Jane eating his cell phone JUST BEFORE apologizing to Nagel.

[Kam]

Franks issues stems from ... he's always thinking too hard to make the right play... too willing to defer.  Sharing is good.  Frank does it to a fault.

The G Leauge .... one would hope ... Frank would see... there's nobody to defer to.  And it may help his development.
