Dennis Smith Jr. I hate to say it

Really hope that he can turn it around but it is not looking good. Emanuel Mudiay for example was in a similiar situation and signed a minimum deal with the Jazz after his rookie contract was over and is a solid 20 minutes per game bench scorer for them this season.
He needs to get out of NY and accept a lesser role.

If he stays in the league I wouldn´t be suprised to see him back in Dallas in a couple of years.

Landing in NY was the worst thing for DSJ. Whatever hope he had in unearthing and molding all of his talents evaporated when he chaffed at RC's mentoring and was shipped out.

I think you're absolutely right that there is still something there with him, if he can come to terms with who he is and if his time in NY doesn't completely shatter him.

This is an issue of the Knicks, fans, the franchise. Not DSJ. Never thought I'd say this, but he definitely should force his way out like he did in Dallas.

Entitled, out of touch, New York fans deserve the Knicks franchise that they have...good for them.  But that ain't on DSJ.

For a franchise that has been complete crap since the early 70's, outside of a barbaric run of teams that set offensive basketball back a hundred years in he early 90s, the fact that they even have fans speaks to the level of entitlement. I get the history of MSG. I love the history of NYC basketball. Still, the Knicks are approaching a half century's worth of failed seasons since their last title. Baffles me
