Official 2019 NYK offseason thread. Brooklyn knick fans check in

[njavier03]

they did good with booker and ayton everybody is meh... i knew jackson would be a bust...but at least they got 2 really good players... we just have kp and passed on mitchell last year smh... i didnt care for the knox pick and would of preferred porter jr especially since this year is a tank year anyway... coulda rolled the dice and he could come back and be good kinda like how embiid came back after 2 years... besides porter jr i dont know who else would be the sure pick of the draft after knox... the guys before our pick were pretty solid but we didnt even try to trade up

that's my point. they have all these lotto picks and almost all of them are misses. TJ Warren is averaging 17ppg this year, so he's coming around. took him long enough. Bender averages 0.7ppg and weren't people saying he was the next KP

pass on Porter. i was initially skeptical about DSJR having previous knee issues, but at least he was playing again. Porter hasn't played post injury and who knows how that will turn out. who would've thought that Trier and Robinson would be our best picks over Frank and Knox

You guys are really giving up on Knox after like 16 games and an ankle injury? He’s barely played so I’m not really that disappointed with him. He has tunnel vision and is really sloppy with the ball but he still has some tools he can work with and develop. You can fix bad shot selection and some lazy habits, but you can’t fix too slow and unathletic to drive (Frank). The only thing that actually worries me about Knox is that jump shooting is a huge part of his game, and I’m not sure he’s that great a shooter. He really needs to work on that

 

[don ramon]

nah it's still way too early for knox to get thrown under the bus
unlike him tho, frank's had his chances and has done his best to get even worse

 

[Mister Meaner]

Gonna echo that thought on being way too early to write off Knox. He at least WANTS to score and is aggressive when his number is called. He's probably used to being the elite athlete at every level thus far and now has to cope with people that are just as, if not more, athletic. And I'm willing to bet his early praise has led him to even more pressure to perform. I hope that by season's end, he at least shows some more poise out there offensively. And he's gotta fix his body language when **** ain't going right lol. Son really is a boy out there.

I didn't even know Donovan Mitchell's pops was a Mets exec. Looks like we were ready to pick him, but Phil.

 

[don ramon]

damn. i had no idea either

just read that the suns might be interested in frank. i don't know what to make of that, but there is some interest at least

 

[donewithjs]

Another Dumb thought process that most Frank Groupies have:

Player A: Never really good at any level but has a great Basketball Ball build and is 18. “He’s the one! We can develop him into a franchise cornerstone”.

Player B: Excelled at every level and played 3 years of college ball and is 21. “Nah he’s too old, he is what he is. He doesn’t have the right measurements etc etc.

They wanted him in a deal for Bledsoe before they traded him to the bucks

 

[don ramon]

ahh so the dream was over before it started

Yo y’all are wicked in here

Knox still have plenty of time... but Frank I'm getting concerned with. I really like what I see out of SGA so far in LA.

I'm still salty we didn't get the lotto luck to get Doncic.

We never get lotto luck

 

[floodarea]

Suns eyeing Frank as well

Gotta get them to give us Mikal

 

[big j 33]

We never get lotto luck

I'm saying, man... it's like we're forever cursed after the frozen envelope theory with Ewing. Russ and Doncic were the two times I was really believing and hoping we moved up and got lucky.. but nah.

 

[goldenchild9]

The last time that we were competitive and watching Knicks games was fun.

F**kin Phil man

Trade Frank to the Suns for a cactus

[you go boy]

the disrespect for frank

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I'd imagine a cactus would play just as good if not better defense than Frank with all of those needles.

Just plant Cactus at the elbow and let him work.

 

[the 718 truth]

This Frank slander

 

[squatchnt]

After reading the post article I feel a little bad for Nitty. It's one thing for the thread to lose faith but when the org is willing to go on record with a loss of faith also feel like Knox getting lumped in with Nitty prematurely. I mean he hasn't been impressive but the org giving an interview giving up on him on record in 14 games is kinda dumb.

 

[|A-Man|]

 

[squatchnt]

Not a lot, just a little. The organization knew what Nitty was when they held him out of summer league and pre season cause he was tired from AAU championships prolly cant even trade him after that article
