Lawrence Frank promised to be forthright with his players whenever trade rumors surface.
March 1st marks the first day players who signed offseason deals can be traded.
"With everything, I've always been very straight-forward with that. ... We've all been through it, and I think the best way is just to be honest," Frank said. "But that's handled by Joe (Dumars) and his group, but when there's times as a coach you just state it as it is. I don't think you ever B.S. anyone about anything."
