Kiya, I have noticed in several of your post that you suggested trading Randle.
WHY??
I understand he isn?t a perfect fit if the offense changes. Also, Randle is not the biggest problem on the team or the organization. Not saying he isn?t one in most cases. If used correctly he could be a benefit/asset and not a liability. He has EARNED the benefit of the doubt from what I see.
Trading the wrong player!! You said Randle is cancer?.I have to agree and disagree. The ?Player Only Meeting? says he is. His play and passion says he isn?t. Again, EARNED!!
The worst CANCER on the Knicks team is RJ!! Not of his making but those who orchestrated his whole existence on the Knicks. They are cancer and they gave it to him.
For those of you that don?t like the above paragraph. Just tell me how you can get RJ out being given everything and I?ll jump on the bandwagon. That isn?t easy to erase.
I'm not a fan of a teams PF performing as the teams PG on every offensive possession, unless their name are Draymond Green or Giannis.
Randle been averaging 30 minute of playing time at the end of the 3rd quarter for the Knicks under coach Thibs.
I wonder what Randle stats would look like receiving 28 minutes per game?
The Knicks head coach gave Randle complete control of the decision-making in the Knicks offense for 40 minutes a game throughout the 82 game season. Randle made the Knicks starter offense dependent on his distribution this past season.
And the Knicks 48 minute defense each game throughout the 82 game season had no one in control so it STINKED awful throughout the midseason games, showing no signs of improvement the remaining 20 games of the season from captain Randle's leadership on the court.
Giving Randle all that power (to perform at PF & PG the past 3 seasons are not something Randle will want to stop in his 4th season as a Knicks.
He has to go!
Randle has become another PF Melo always dribbling the ball down court on every offensive possession .. PG!
So far, the average PG (Payton, Rivers, Frank, and Kemba) were not able to take control of the Knicks offense and the ball from Randle dribbling down court the past 3 seasons.
Could the Knicks do better without Randle ???
Well .. In the Knicks first 25 games of the 2021-22 season the Knicks had an exciting team-chemistry, and ball-movement from the Knicks 2nd unit bench players of ..
D.Rose offensive leadership, Taj Gibson's defensive leadership, Burk's experience, and the speed and athleticism from two 2nd season players Quickley & Obi Toppin.
