We talked very little about it because the Vince is not particularly one of the superstars who make talk, but Vincent Poirier has indeed seen his name pass in the trade sending George Hill in particular to Philadelphia. The swagest pivot of the League therefore joins Frank Ntilikina in the city that never sleeps, hoping to see the French dui together on the field, on a misunderstanding that can work.
22 games in Boston, a trade at OKC then a departure for the Sixers a month later. Here is for now what we must remember from the NBA career of Vincent Poirier, in total galley in terms of winning the confidence of a coach but determined to succeed on the other side of the Atlantic. So it may be with the Knicks, sensation of the season in the East and who have recovered the golgoth in addition to the acquisition of Terrance Ferguson, small deal which will not revolutionize much but which proves that the Knicks are still on standby on this trade deadline evening. Little background for the moment therefore, but still this little hope of seeing a Gaul who succeeds in the NBA, in New York moreover, rather not bad for the fame.
Under the orders of Tom Thibodeau a player goes on the field when he is deserving, and casually this merit bonus system could prove to be good news for Vince, a valued teammate and able to leave his organs on the field if need. Julius Randle, Nerlens Noel, Mitchell Robinson, that’s 90% of playing time in the Knicks’ racket this year and it won’t budge, but crumbs are to be picked up alongside them. and the former Paris player will necessarily have his card to play. Here we believe in it because hope gives life, and also because Vincent is a good guy, a guy who deserves to be given a chance and an SMS to Thibs has just left in this direction.
We will watch all this, from afar, in the garbage of the Knicks to begin with, because anyway there are now two French players in New York, and that, just that, is a small event.
