Of course he does...

Hmm, you have to wonder if his NBA career is done for good at this point. It wasn't like it was on an upward trajectory as it was, and now this. Of course, he can come back next season after rehabbing, but now has a "bad knee" label to go with the "undersized 2/no PG skills 1" and "bad contract" labels.
I suspect the Suns will end up waiving him before he ever suits up for them again, and the next time he actually plays pro ball, it will likely be overseas somewhere.
Exactly, even with his contract we still have the 3rd most cap space available. Just gives Reed more of an opportunity. We couldn't find takers for a healthy Brandon Knight anyway so no big deal.Luckily, we are under the cap, he doesn't hurt the bottom line, and he'll be off the bench and out of the locker room. We also don't have to give up a draft pick just to unload him. Silver lining.
You guys are leaning towards his career is over? He's still relatively young. It's an ACL. Athletes come back from that routinely now. He'll play in the NBA again someday.
Bad Luck Brandon...
There goes any hope of moving him. At least he won't be a distraction now. Hopefully he can make a full and speedy recovery. He's got to be in a bad place right now.
I feel really bad for the kid. I'd feel a lot worse if I didn't know he had $85 million coming his way.
He's 25 and playing professional basketball and earning millions doing it. Was that question serious?I guess I question Knight's motivation to come back from injury.

Actually he's earning millions for sitting on the bench while feigning injuries and refusing to play. His number was called last season but he refused to play cuz his feelings were hurt. Yeah, the guy obviously has a real passion for the game. #massiveyeroll
But if you want to crown the guy with sainthood, go for it. I will shed not a tear for Brandon Knight aka the worst FA move ever by the Suns.
Brandon Knight aka the worst trade AND FA move ever by the Suns.
Thank you!FTFY

It was a bad trade, but it wasn't even the worst in OUR history.
Dennis Johnson for Ricky Robey? A draft pick where we could have had Lue Deng or Iguodala, given away for what turning into nothing? Kurt Thomas and TWO 1st round picks for... nothing?
It would have been nice to have the Laker pick as a trade chip but the end game for that pick is starting to look less and less enticing. It will probably end up in the late lotto.
And his contract sucks but it isn't handicapping us in anyway at all.
