Stop getting after each other guys. Z-man can have his ideas about Frank. I am in the category of Frank is going to be a good player at the end of the day myself. But there’s nothing saying he’s going to be much of anything beyond a bench warmer which is what most rookies look like. Nobody knows within any degree of certainty. Let’s just let it play out and make fun of our front office.

I didn’t really defend the Bargnani trade, I only rationalized it. And I’ve learned since then.

I’m going out on a limb with Frank, which is risky, but at least I allow for the possibility that I’ll be wrong. Why don’t you go out on a limb, big guy? You like to take credit for your lukewarm support for Leonard. Go on the record for Frank. Same for you, tnfh, go on the record right now about Frank and stop calling people stupid because you’re too much of a coward to make a prediction that might come back to haunt you.

1. KP is injury prone, can’t rebound, and is not an efficient scorer.
2. Frank can’t shoot, dribble or finish
3. Mudiay is the worst PG in the NBA
4. Kanter is one of the worst P&R defenders in the NBA
5. Hardaway is an overpaid chucker that’s not efficient
6. Dotson can’t even earn time on this shipwreck
7. Willy, oh nevermind he’s gone.
8. Kornet, huh?
9. Everyone else is a veteran that shouldn’t be on the team

Is that a pretty good summary of the current consensus?

Yes, except Frank is 19 and who cares if he sucks? Oh, Z-man? The defender of the Andrea Bargnani trade? Nah, don’t bother with that.

Strat’s post was supposed to be satirical but it was all accurate and made me sad

Oh jeez, now we’re gonna use the freaking Rising Stars game to criticize Frank?

I give up

In tonight’s Rising Stars game, in which the World team is on pace for 150+ points and 8 of 10 players have scored in double figures, Frank has 4 points.

Idk, the more I look at the Hernangomez situation, the more I think the FO traded him BECAUSE HE ASKED to be traded. Often the simplest answer is the correct one.

Aside from the THJ signing, I’m ok with what’s going on tbh. All the questionable guys like Baker, Kanter, and Mudiay come off the books at the same time and we have all our picks going forward. In a few years, it would’ve been a bummer not having 2nd rounders two years in a row (and those will be harder to just buy from now on).

KP will be back stronger and ready for more minutes at center, Frank will have improved, and we’ll have added two more high draft picks.

A lineup like Frank/TH2/Mikal/Bruno Fernando/KP will be really fun to watch! Especially if they can replace Tim.

Luckily Jarett Jack won’t be eligible for the rising stars game.

@11

Expecting an eventual 15-18 ppg scorer out of Frank seems completely unrealistic based on what we’ve seen. His career high is 13 points. He’s scored in double figures just 6 times, with 4 of those being exactly 10 points. His shot creation ability is miles behind anyone who could average even 12 ppg, much less 15-18.

In reply to Stratomatic “It’s tough being us”.

Some of them involve true statements, but, huh?

It’s like saying…

1. Dennis Rodman can’t shoot threes
2. Magic Johnson isn’t fast enough to defend speedy point guards
3. Michael Jordan doesn’t shoot enough threes
4. Charles Barkley is injury prone

Ya know? They’re true, but huh? What’s the point?

I think you’re possibly trying to make a statement about people being overly negative, but then you mix in normal, legitimate critiques in there that makes it all sort of a jumbled point.
