I believe his first one is up tomorrow. I missed the game today and didn't know if it was mentioned.

I hope that they give Jimmer a chance next time. We can use a jolt for our offense and shooting.

Who cares? He won't get any minutes to develop because Fisher will play Sasha instead

I personally don't care. I like him has a player and the story was nice but we don't need a SF who can't shoot. We clearly are in need of guards who can hit an open shot. How many games must we go in a row where for 1 half no one can hit an open shot? We had Erick Green we could have signed to a 10day and we have Jimmer who we can still sign to a 10 day. I don't want to hear anything about Jimmers defense because right now our team goes at least 24 minutes of a game where we brick every single shot we take. If Jimmer was here we would probably be down 20 instead of 27 and when the comeback happens maybe we will actually win one time

Lol. Jimmer has already had his NBA chances. He's garbage.

Also, Elliot Williams reportedly is going overseas.

Thanasis was required by the Westchester Knicks. Knicks have an open roster spot, who's it going to be? Probably won't be decided until after the trade deadline

With 1 game over the next 10 days, it would have been silly to sign him to a second 10 day contract right now. Two 10 day contracts and that is it...then its for the season or nothing.

Was trying to make make the point of the Knicks maintaining roster flexibility through the break is all. Not a slam on Thanasis at all. The move was expected.

Sorry I disagree, jimmer never got a far shot. He started the first 16 games of his career for sac town and averaged 16 pts a game ... Then they fired there coach and jimmer was relagated to spot back up 2 guard duty... Jimmer is NOT a 2 guard by any means.. He is also not a spot up shooter, he's a scoring pg who needs the ball in his hands to be effective like a Steph curry. He can score in bunches, whether it's outside shooting or getting to the hoop. I'm 100 percent convinced jimmer would be a big upgrade from Jose just on the shear fact he can take it to the hoop and break down the defense. And speaking of defense there is no way in hell he is worse then Jose on defense, Jose is a bad defender at the high school level let alone the pros.

Jimmer deserves a shot where he is allowed to do what he dose best and that's with the ball in his hands to create for himself and his teammates

I feel for any player drafted by sac town no matter how talented of a player they always find a way to ruin them .

Jimmer never averaged 16 points a game in his first 16 games as a starter. I remember him getting plenty of chances playing alongside Tyreke Evans. Can't use that excuse. That said, it's possible that Jimmer has matured. Players develop at different rates. It take Dan Dickau a few years to be a decent NBA player.

Jimmer has 7 career starts according to ESPN. fitz, where are you getting your stats?

We need help badly in the back court. I won't mind if we bring in a guy with those abilities. I like thenasty, but we already have Early who has yet to play

My bad I took what my friend told me as fact before looking it up ... I was wrong... But I still think jimmer deserves a shot to be jimmer by putting the ball in his hands as a pg not as a spot up shooter which he is not.
