Fans boo him and he tells them to **** off.
He doesn't though.
Instead, he had another poor performance following the game he got booed. He was cancerous on both ends.
Javy Baez got booed by the Mets fanbase...what he does? bats over .310 and plays gold glove defense with godlike basestealing.
Randle instead returns the deed with poor performances and empty stats.
Fans would be toxic if they kept booing Randle he responded with a good performance.
The fans have a reason to boo and Julius continue to gives them because it goes beyond bad performances.
Look at Julius' body language, demeanor and how hesitant and slow paced he becomes in the fourth quarter and we never build runs with him on the floor, for most of the season its been when he's benched. How does this rub off on our younger players?
For those who hype up last season, I give you the previous season when Randle wasn't so good. True Randle is closer to the 19-20 season than the 20-21 season. 20-21 Randle was just playing for his contract season. It's hindering RJ and Toppin's progress who both play better when Randle is benched. RJ/Toppin's progress/time in NY > Julius.
The sooner we trade him, the faster we start building a contender. You can't win with Julius, this isn't a Zach Randolph situation. Julius isn't the alpha or leader Randolph was, nor defender. Kevin Love/White Wade scorched Julius on the P&R, a game the Knicks could of won. Randle's playstyle doesn't equal winning. If fans are toxic the only thing can that be said, then you know we have a problem.
What team wins with a slow placed big who shoots 40% FG 30% 3PT who's a cancer on defense? We're tied to this for 4 season s, do we need to repeat this again in 2022-23 for you to be convinced?
