He'd be great for the Knicks- young, hardworking talent that is a smart ballplayer.

It's a shame where we are with the NBA where super productive college players continue to get undervalued come draft time and garbage European players become lottery picks.
I am pissed off at the moment thinking about this . I just can't understand for the life of me why Warney sat out the last 2 games. He played well in the minutes he was out on the floor. Hopefully he lands on his feet with a team that will appreciate his basketball IQ and athleticism

Perplexing based on how he played in his 3 games, but my guess is that the club made a decision after 3 games that they were going in another direction with a different guy on the 10-day, and decided not to play him from that point forward.  Professional sports can be ruthless at times.   Hope the kid keeps his chin up, and latches on with another club (this year!).

So, was Carlisle comment about Warney [EDITED]? How do they go from looking for a PF player just to replace him with a G. That is like the Yankees looking for a closer and then they go out and find a 1st baseman..

Read what Carlisle said about Warney after the Knicks game:

Either Carlisle was full of it, he was overridden by mgmt, or maybe they were just doing Warney a token solid by bringing him up and exposing him to other teams, given his strong stats for the Legends (and in this instance, maybe they had no plans of keeping him up at all).   The whole thing is quite bizarre especially after producing for the 3 games he was in. Too bad he didn't get to play in front of friends and family at the Barclay Center though.

Talk about emotions swinging from high to low in a span of 10 days.
How old a Seawolf am I? I followed them during their Final 4 DIII hoops run in 1977-78 (they were called the Patriots then)
