First
that guy Dolan is crazy and like Robert Sarver had to give up the Phoenix Suns, the NBA board of Governers/Owners force him to sell the Knicks franchise immediately.
I like GT , he needs to just be more consistent
no idea why players whine about starting when its really about minutes and finishing. Play well and youll get ton of minutes and be on the court during crunch time. Play like crap, youll be a fixture on the bench. Starter or not.
The thing about legal filings is that they always use the most extreme language possible. The motion to dismiss could easily be denied. A motion to dismiss can only be accepted when there is almost no chance of success for the underlying claim, which is a high threshold so it is likely to be denied. I doubt this is the last you will hear about this claim.
No surprise to see the guy who still refuses to pass to take a me first message to a microphone. Please Masai, no extension.
Is there any player in the NBA that doesnt aspire to be a starter??
GtJ saying he's not going to complain about not being a starter right after he complains about not being the starter. ROFL
The Coach can try different "looks" for the starting 5 and judge by who does the best. I'm sure he'll get some games starting. He can't expect to be a lock for starter when we have Schroeder and possibly Scottie
So many disgruntled people on the squad cause bell and Rogers aren’t giving extensions. So sad. And I guess Barnes will never run an offense. So much for being a PG. we suck
Siakiam needs to be traded so GTJ can start
Why is this even a discussion? Smh, Gary is a starter no debating, Scottie, Gary, OG, Siakam, Poetle… In the play in last season Scottie and Siakam screwed up as well, thats how it goes, Gary is the real deal
PLEASE MASAI TRADE GARY TRENT JR TO CLEVELAND CAVALIERS FOR DONOVAN MITCHELL!!!!
All I’m hearing is Gary leaving next season
all that type of stuff
Darko can make this all go away with some massive GTJ praise to the media. Say something like: "Depending on what aspect of Gary's game you are looking at, Gary is the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th best player on this team. He is a starter. But he is also a mature leader and I'm confident that he will see the importance of him coming off of the bench as much as I do. The fact is, we want to play 10 players deep and I need leadership to also go that deep. Make no mistake, he will get the minutes of a starter. He's that valuable to our team".
Lowry is the same way. He was never a good starter. But once he started coming off the bench for the Heat he played the best ball of his career.
Yiss b’y
