Frank is utterly worthless as a commodity right now. If he were eligible for this year’s draft, it’s even money that he goes undrafted, even without his $4+ million contract. No one is taking him and giving us something back.

Hopefully he plays in Vegas and displays an improved 3-pt shot. That might at least make him worth a 2nd round pick.

Maybe a team like PHX would take him and a 2nd to dump Josh Jackson. But beyond that, keep dreaming.

It would be interesting if someone had a live odds calculator out there…for example, if the 14th pick goes to BOS via SAC, everyone’s odds rise slightly…if they don’t get called, then everyone’s odds drop dramatically. And on and on…

I mean, is there anything in sports that is as weird as the NBA draft lottery? Where the future of the league as a whole and individual franchises is as dependent on fucking ping pong balls?

Maybe I should just stay home, squeeze one of my nuts in a vise and then hit the other one with a ball-peen hammer.

I’m pretty straight but I’d watch that

How does it make you feel that if you live-streamed it on YouTube as a “Knicks draft party” it still wouldn’t be the weirdest Knicks-related video available on the internet, courtesy of a certain expat Chinese celebrity

I might watch the lottery with Desus & Mero and Fat Joe but I don’t know if that’s good or bad luck

that sounds like a party…good or bad, I imagine the experience will be more intense with other invested folks…

Maybe the Nets, who could play him alongside Russell. I would hate for them to make us look silly, but they are a well run organization and I’m still not convinced we are.

I’ve been invited to the MSG season ticket holder lottery event. Maybe I should just stay home, squeeze one of my nuts in a vise and then hit the other one with a ball-peen hammer.

If you’re gonna have a party might as well make it an event.

There are 29 other NBA teams, I guarantee you we can find one to take a flier on a 20 year old lottery pick from 2 years ago without adding a sweetener.

The relevant commentary above not withstanding, if teams know we’re ditching an unimpressive prospect to create cap space? Honestly, what team, even with the abundance of silly GMs, thinks he’s worth $4,855,800 of their cap space. We’d be blessed to give him away. That’s not even a dig on his potential.

So the twolves didn’t have to pay to get rid of Johnny Flynn but we’ll have to pay to get rid of Frank bc being picked 6th has cache but being picked 8th is mundane.

A) that was a long time ago, and B) people may have learned better, and C) that was just one example out of dozens of possible examples, and D) despite being a “legendary bust” Jonny Flynn was still better than Frank Ntilikina at almost every quantifiable aspect of basketball.
