    A disgruntled Kuminga for Jalen?

    I feel like we’re better to spend our precious development minutes on Bari and Tari than Kuminga. At least we’ll never have to question their work ethic.

    Jonathan has a lot of maturation to do unfortunately........but he was due for a breakout year......

    It sucks to be on the Worriers this year ......

    Pass. Anyone who goes to the G league instead of college is a massive red flag made out of smaller red flags.

    Seems to me impatience has been predominate in this forum as far back as I can remember.

    Kuminga probably wants 30 mins and we can't give him that while we have Tari. He isn't a good shooter and we have athletic players already. Pass.

    I think he is right but only because it is not allowed. If it's just for Jalen Brunson and salary filler Rox will probably pack Jalen's bags for him lmao.

    I think he is just flat out talking Bullshet, no way, the Knicks are dumb but not dumb enough to include Brunson in a Jalen Green trade.

    Arenas for some reason believes Jalen Green is a super star so enough said.....

    Luckily Clutchfans gives us the option to ignore forers. You don't know how healthy it is to ignore haters, trolls and losers who the only thing they do is criticize from their couches at home.

    Say what? Arenas was a great player but he must not look at shot efficiency, true shooting percentage and plus/minus and has just seen Jalen's scoring averages. Funny he's trashing the Knicks research department when he hasn't done his lol.

    The Scoring averages are pretty below average this year too, Arenas not even watching season averages.

    I dont think either team gets better from this trade. Brunson is redundant with Fred and Randle is a PF which we don't need.

    This team needs a center and a SG that can actually shoot.

    In case you missed it, Arenas is just attracting eye balls, he has no clue what is going on now or he feigning to have a clue.

    And he intended to rant about the Knicks.......

    Even with all that 'splainin these knuckleheads won't get it.

    Tate is Ime's break glass in case of emergency at any position 1-4 and is a net positive in all of them ....

    Hell, when he initiates the offense, they score on some crazy 78% of possessions. That's an insane number but one that has increased year over year.
    And while Jalen might have the potential to some day be a superstar ..... If I had to get a bucket, I'd rather draw up a play getting Tate close to the rim than Jalen.

    Tate shoots .630 from rim to 10 feet Jae'Sean Tate 2023-24 Shooting | Basketball-Reference.com

    Jalen shoots .491 from the rim to 10 feet. Jalen Green 2023-24 Shooting | Basketball-Reference.com

    But .... we still hear trade him and that's mainly because people want to open up minutes for Cam & Amen .... those minutes need to come from Green.

    Kuminga is a head case.. Always had been. Playing style he's closer to Whitmire so he'd be redundant

    Jalen had a decent game on offense, but he made some pretty poor rookie level mistakes too - but if he raised his trade value, great.
