Depends. How many popcorn guys in the 3rd row does he kill with his passes passes at summer league practice?

Imagine GMs around the league ruminating over the balance sheet.

CONS: One of the most ineffective players in the league the last couple of seasons he played. Coming off major knee injury. Makes $14M a season.

PROS: Worked out with the Suns Summer League team. Once complimented by Dwyane Wade.

I meant more so in terms of him showing he’s healthy again.

Uhhh... if it's more than one, it's definitely not a fluke and he has his strength back.

More likely than not they'll just have to pry the ball from his cold, dead hands.

All joking aside, there are few players in the NBA with less value than Knight right now, and I don't think you could anything to make him more valuable. He's just a horrible player getting paid way too much.

Remember when we traded the laker pick for Brandon Knight?

Jesus ya'll are so negative and pessimistic. What does it hurt to hope that Knight plays well and rehabs his value? I guess we could cling on to bad history but... why?

I'm already on record as saying I think he plays well next season. I think he'll play as good as Dragic. Just a gut feeling I have.

I'm hoping he plays well - I'm not betting my life on it, but it would be a pleasant surprise.

I’m optimistic. I think he can still become a solid contributor whether it will be this team or another. He’s still 26.

Honestly, I’m ready for the start of the season already, it’s been awhile since I’ve been this excited. Summer league will be fun but the wait till October is gonna be brutal for me.

Hey, don't forget the PRO of almost being an all-star in his last year in Milwaukee.

I would be so happy if this happened. Maybe it’s crazy talk but I think the Suns can be a playoff team this year with a competent pg. I think Booker makes another huge step forward, I think Jackson will be much better, with a good pg? The 7th seed isn’t that crazy of a thought to me. Maybe even a 6th seed!!!

I'm encouraged by what I'm reading. Apparently he had an attitude adjustment and has a new lease on life. I'm with you hoping for a pleasant surprise without taking any bets on the subject.

Knight has all the physical tools and talent; I really think it's mostly mental with him. I've read about him being very intelligent and a hard worker, maybe the year off did him a lot of good. It's going to be really interesting to see how he responds this year. I'm cautiously optimistic he'll be a positive for us this year.
