For the moment it seems that way. However, Bogs is the expiring contract the KNICKS will use to land the "big fish" they're going after. They basically replaced Fournier with Bogs, who will be a valuable contract and tradeable asset in a few months.
But that's exactly what Fournier was, a valuable contract.
So the Knicks gave up a valuable contract, a young 3/D prospect, and 2 second rounders for a valuable contract?
It was a bit depressing seeing Bogs and Burks struggle in garbage time.
They really struggle on being efficient scorers trying to create their own shots. So many turnovers and terrible shots.
The best bet is to sprinkle them in when Brunson or Randle are in the game to play off the ball and just be spot up shooters.
Still a terrible trade.
Fournier was rotting on the bench with permanent DNP/CD status. He was for sure frustrated and could have been becoming a cancer in the locker room. We were also likely close to an intervention from the player's association.
Picking up his option just to keep him sitting on the bench was probably no longer an option. Also, with all the injuries, we can't really judge yet how Bogs will help this team -- particularly come playoff time.
Just wait until all the pieces are back and we'll see how it fits.
NBPA would absolutely not step in at any point for something as trivial of this. I also think Evan was a good soldier for the most part.
But you're right. You can't judge these pieces until the team is whole. If anything, watching Miles develop confidence is probably worth the expense of losing Grimes.
