djphan: it’s more like you have no clue that you’re being a dick and someone needs to tell you multiple times because in your old age you wake up and you completely forget or something .. i’m doing you a service because you’re having such a hard time with self awareness….

most ppl here can handle having their opinions challenged… why do you keep taking things so personally that you get antagonistic so often?

Was I being a dick? Well, you know how it is with us senile old folks. Who are you, anyway? And what’s a dick?

In the last 2 days you have referred to me as an asshole, a dick and a humongous prick. Sounds like you’re the one having a hard time with moving on.

djphan:
you could be a good one way player and you could also be a bad two way player … right?

i mean frank having a jumpshot was basically last year looking at the numbers or are we expecting significantly better?

To keep him, i’m expecting significantly better, yes. The same for DSJ. Or else just trade them if someone still believes they have value.

Brian Cronin: I’m no Smith fan because I don’t think he ever will have a jumpshot. That said, if Smith ever developed a jumpshot, he’d be an All Star. If Frank developed one, he’d be a solid starter. Guys like Smith only get drafted on the off chance that they will, in fact, develop a jumpshot. If they do, they are stars.

I can agree with that, but i would still be undecided which one i would prefer, because the All Star you’re talking about it’s D’Angelo Russell, only offense and zero defense.

Frank with a jumpshot is a solid 3&D player.

Right or wrong, PGs who can score and pass, even while playing crap defense, have more value in the league.

djphan: you kinda act like you’re the victim here… and let’s make this perfectly fucking clear…. i took this shit from you at least a handful of times…. and you asked for me to reciprocate instead of apologizing or at least telling me what i did to you to deserve the antagonism…..

i’m a pretty reasonable person….. i have no idea what grudge you’re holding but you;ve been a humongous prick…. and EVEN STILL… i would drop it again if i had assurances that you could handle yourself in an adult manner….

i know that it’s hard to drop the hot takes for a minute… but take some time to think about that….

I don’t feel like a victim at all, so don’t get where you came up with that. As I said, every day is a new day. In the last 2 days you have referred to me as an asshole, a dick and a humongous prick. Sounds like you’re the one having a hard time with moving on.

Maybe strat can be a role model for you…he gets bashed more than anyone here, but always starts every day with a clean slate.

There’s one problem in defending DSJ and Frank are on the same (bad) level of development. Let’s say both learn how to shoot the basket, now what? One would still be a one-way player and the other would be a two-way player, which one do you prefer?

And by the way, i don’t defend Frank for being picked by the Knicks, it’s just that denying he does one part of the game well and DSJ does no part well, it’s confusing to me. We picked Knox and i don’t defend him, at least for now he’s bad and there’s no denying it.
