    No. Randle changed his entire shot diet this year, taking less step back jumpers and more bully ball and spraying to open shooters.
    His past playoff performances were not stellar however he was injured last year and he’s a rhythm player. And the first year he made the playoffs he was miscast as a Batman and Derrick Rose was the 2nd best player on the team.
    I love OG and he might be more important to this team than Randle, but this team has no consistent shot creation outside of Brunson.

      I guess you have a good point, but saying his first two postseasons were “not stellar” is a disgusting understatement. He in both of his playoff appearances has genuinely been one of the worst playoff players in the entire NBA. His reputation would almost be better off with no playoff appearances.
      Circumstances cannot completely explain how horrible he’s been in the playoffs. I will say that this could have been his year though.

      Hi, I'm from the future. The new york knicks are in fact a much better team without this playoff scrub. If he's not gone this summer via trade, ya'll are fucked. This is coming from a lakers fan btw, so no bias here. I've watched this dude randle suck ass for 3 years straight in the playoffs. He's also going to want a crazy amount of money. Anything more than OG is a complete scam as OG is an elite 3 and D player who actually impacts winning, not just filling the stat sheet.

    I fully believed this was the year for him. He overcame his injury and was looking better than ever. His shot selection was better, more drives and post ups than long twos. He cooked in the in season tourney. The chemistry was better than ever. And there was so many offensive weapons for him to fall back on, the floor was wide open for him, and the defense was looking improved.
    Then he got hurt and my hopes were crushed

    You should watch the 4 most recent losses. Losing to worst team in west Spurs when Brunson poured in 61 and losing to teams Knicks should beat proves they still need Randle. When Jalen B is bottled up with double teams they lack another scoring option so not sure what you watching and clearly you not paying attention and just making stuff up. Knicks keep falling in standings without Randle and OG. They are in 5th without home court and face a Magic team potentially in playoffs that is 3-1 against them. Could be early first round exit if they don’t have the home court and another step up offensive player to help Brunson

    Randle gives you, roughly, 24 and 10. Those are Ewing type numbers. Most teams in the league can't play him straight up because he is an actual power forward (one of the strongest), skilled, and not a small forward playing out of position. They tried that nonsense with Toppin.
    Obi couldn't rebound.
    Randle was commanding the fifth most double teams in the entire league.
    Fifth!
    Randle gets doubled, feed Brunson. Brunson gets doubled, feed Randle, the cutter, or the open shooters in a corner. Mismatches are created. Simple.
    I'm not trading that for Sabonis or anthing like that.
    This is such an L take that it need a N O P and E stamped over it.

The level of difficulty from a cross court pass or over the top from a blitz or a kick out is much more impressive and Sabonis does have good kick outs too it’s just his passing is more on a Giannis level but gets treated so much higher because the number

    Josh Hart is a better power forward than Julius Randle and he's a 6 foot 5 guard. Randle can put up numbers, but for Randle the name on the back of the jersey is more important than the name on the front. With Randle out of the way the Knicks best ball handler and scorer will have the ball in his hands at crunch time. Getting the ball to your best guy is more valuable than your second best guy dribbling into a double team and putting up a bad shot or forcing a turnover. It's a blessing in disguise for the Knicks if they can get Annunoby back healthy and Josh Hart can keep playing like the best role player in the league. Honestly, the Knicks need to trade Randle for a TEAM ORIENTED second option while his name still has some value.
