    Everyone who have watched Minnesota games for last two seasons knew that he is a horrible horrible player. You can't be "not horrible" if your team is ready to trade you away in the middle of your second season in the league even when you was drafted as number 6 overall

    The only hope for him to bounce back to the level of NBA caliber performer was a mental challenge, was that "proving the doubters wrong" stuff. It didn't work at all

    He has an excuse last year cause he was playing through injuries but now he's healthy and he looks even worse than last season, when analysts, fans and scouts all put him in the mention for the worst point guard in the game

    So, if undersized dude can't shoot, can't pass, can't defend, has a low bbal IQ and is proving a ball-hog status, will he get another guaranteed contract in this league from any FO?

    I'm sure the Knicks will be interested in him when he's a FA. They can use any ounce of talent they can get at the 1.

    He'll get a deal. When he cleans up his decision making he will make a good career backup for some team like an Eric Maynor type. He's a good cheap backup PG behind a solid starter who will eat up the majority of the minutes.

    We could have gotten Ish back too. God Flynn is bad. Goran made me eat my words, but Flynn looks beyond lost out there.

    How bad is Maynor's injury? Can the Rockets work a Flynn and Hill trade for Aldrich and cap space?

    Since he is a former #6 pick teams think he has to be good someway somehow. He will keep getting deals just for being picked that high. Same as Terrance Williams, Kwame Brown, Hasheem Thabeet, etc.

    If Jeremy Lin can get a contract in the NBA. Flynn will easily pick up a minimum deal too.

    somebody will give him a shot, but he is nothing more than a third string/injury insurance player.

    I'm on the fence. 50/50 this happens. Flynn is awful.

    Again a good reason we didn't lose Dragic in a trade. Can you imagine being stuck with Flynn behind Lowry, even with Gasol on your team that's going to cost you.
