Never saw so much hate for a guy Randle that's our second best scorer and leading rebounder. He's also got a PER that ranks up there with KP, Milsap and Jaren Jackson currently 24th out of 67 PF. He's not making mega bucks either, signing a total contract that has 56M guaranteed. He's been put in the main man role and he's never been and maybe never will be and that's something I was concerned about but he's a decent piece to have.
Randle being given the first option on offense, plus made captain of the Knicks are to much for a Die Hard Knicks Fan to swallow.
Especially, after watching Randle-Handle 4th quarter performance in 44 games that lead to only 12 wins.
There's NO Hate for Randle-Handle .. It's just Randle's Team-Leadership is the same as Tim Hardaway Jr., and Iso-Melo, and Starbury.
Randle would probably be a decent 28 min PF .. If the off-season Knicks FO would have resign DeAndre Jordan, and traded with Rockets to get the HOF Chris Paul to run the Knicks 2019-20 season. Chris Paul's clout would've had NY reporters get the no-defense ISOLATION head-coach Fizdale fired during the preseason games. The rookie RJ Barrett would started the season as a pass-first guard/forward, Randle would've been a hustling-player giving good Picks and Screens for teammates while playing off the ball.
Frank would've been improving at leading the point, plus calling several plays, instead of passing the ball and running to the right side of the court to be taken out the offense. Dotson performance would've improve each game having CP3 in the lineup to become a decent 2-Way 30 minute player. Plus Chris Paul would've had FortKnox select 4 places on the court where his Jumper falls 70% of the time, plus set up screens for FortKnox to slash to the basket.
Chris Paul .. like Jason Kidd would have played the final 8 minutes of the 4th quarter to give the Knicks a 50-50 chance for the win throughout the 2019-20 season.
