I think I have a post somewhere in the old threads where I claimed Frank would not get another NBA contract and never score >20 pts in a single game

Was a bit provocative from my end because I truly believe he sucked despite Knicks fans telling me otherwise but I didn't expect to be that right

France hardly used him in the Olympics. He's not very good.

Agree, I was impressed with Isaiah Jackson's passing and all around game as well. Par for the course for UK players it seems like, though.

A lot of front offices are probably kicking themselves over Jalen Johnson, who seemed to be a polarizing prospect, and Sharife Cooper, who also was likely a polarizing prospect once it got to the 2nd round, when Sharife went 5/8 from 3 including the game winner yesterday. Sharife's defensive concerns also seem overblown. He's been pretty bad off-ball, but his on-ball defending seems decent and his quickness keeps him in front and around screens.

So far, it seems like the Hawks got two more legit rotation players and don't even need them.

Get the **** outta here with the Frankie Smokes hate.

Gonna be so tilting watching him ring it up for a team like the Warriors. Lakers I'm okay with

I was living in Lyon when he was with Strasbourg and went to see him play when he was in town and thought "this guy sucks, can't believe he's a top prospect." Pretty sure I posted it too.

He was nursing a bit of a sore groin.

+1

FRANK will definitely LAND ON HIS FEET with a franchise like the Warriors, the Mavericks, etc. and become a solid rotation player. He'd be perfect playing alongside LUKA.

I searched your posts for both:

Frank

and then Ntilikina

Apropos of nothing .. shouldn't there already be a 2021-2022 thread? We are in the new season afaik.

I got you fam

I'm uncomfortable making the first post in the new thread about Max Strus, so I'll leave it here:

I'm gonna miss the hilarious FRANK hype from the TZ Knicks conglomerate.

My deepest apologies.

I don't know why the search didn't yield a result for me. I searched in earnest because I did have a memory of you making those posts about Frank.

All good bro

He was allegedly injured.
Then they overused him in the gold medal game

if i remember correctly he had a wide open corner 3 which he airballed in clutch time, was hilarious

Groin injury is the catch all face saving explanation, or the herpes cover up. You never know how long it lasts until it ends

cubes as an owner:

Cubes is a bit like James Dolan of the South.

I wonder whether Dennis Schroder is angrier at himself or his agent. He turned down on 4 year, $84 million extension from the Lakers on the theory that he would get a 4 or 5 year deal at $20 million per on the free agent market. Instead, there was no market for him at all and he ended up signing a 1-year deal with the Celtics for $5.9 million to be Marcus Smart's backup.

He's 27, already earned 70M+ playing basketball and it's not like he's actually damaged goods - obviously he won't get the same money, but he'll be alright. I'm more curious as to what happened with Isaiah Thomas back in the day - did he have a chance to secure the bag but his ego didn't allow him take anything less than the max or were the Celtics never really interested in investing in him long-term?

IT got hurt in the playoffs with 1 year left on his deal, so the time to negotiate with the Celts never came up. He was traded that offseason for Kyrie.

I doubt they were interested in paying him though

Yep.

Ainge is a cut throat baller like OJ Simpson.
