OFFICIAL NYk '22 offseason thread, RJ extended

[ballinsam23]

I think Obi was Leon’s pick. He was gonna trade up for him too.

I think Obi was Leon’s pick. He was gonna trade up for him too.

That's what baffles me, Obi is the start of Rose era. His 1st pick and he's just sitting back letting him and crew rott.

 

[8pm at msg]

I still stand by the thought of drafting Obi being a nepotism move since Leon's son reps him

 

[Mister Meaner]

Obi was definitely chosen to replace Randle & then we all know what happened that season. The course can be corrected this off-season with a trade. I’m good with the roster they have at the moment if they wanted to trade Randle for draft capital.

Thibbs has all the players he needs besides a vet 1st option. Deuce a rook, RJ just starting to figure it out, Cam can’t get in, Obi needs more minutes & Mitch is great but also still getting better. Defense, shooting, playmakers and lob threats in the starting lineup there better than his trusted veteran bunch.

They’re smoking dust and writing articles over at The Post…

What the hell is going on

 

[paulminus]

We’re specifically rooting for Randle tonight

 

[biggie62]

Need a good showing so we can trade his ungrateful ***.

 

[floodarea]

need randle to show out and fox to be garbage

 

[paulminus]

Yoo imagine if the garden chant Fox name

Yoo imagine if the garden chant Fox name

Randle would probably walk off the court

 

[floodarea]

really need everyone in attendance to boo randle every time he touch the ball

need this situation to get volatile to increase his trade chances

 

[ballinsam23]

Curious to see if Leon and the FO will be in their seats to watch the game. This trade is being agreed upon tonight if it hasn’t already been agreed on.

Best case scenario Randle has 30-12-10 in a loss. Fox has 25-5-5.

 

[biggie62]

If we do a fox for randle trade and don’t give up any good core young assets I will be ecstatic.

 

[sharpshooter718]

Last year's performance shows you how good these players can be if their money wasn't right .. once they get that bag , they fall the **** off ..

 

[njavier03]

typically how it goes in a contract year if you're not a real hooper

 

[biggie62]

Let’s not remind ourselves of Jerome James….

Actually,

Include Kemba, Burks and/or IQ. We need to free up that backcourt and at the very least have Duece as the 3rd options. Unfortunately, we are depending on Rose and won't do something like that for insurance.

I also don't know who would fill that 2nd unit 4?

Ideally

Fox
RJ
Evan
Obi
Mitch

Rose
Grimes
Cam
Simms?
Noel

 

[ballinsam23]

Fairly certain we’re either getting Barnes and picks or Fox. There’s just way too much smoke here.

 

[njavier03]

i'd be cool with Barnes at the 4

 

[donewithjs]

I’m down for Barnes and Fox for Julius, Evan, and a Dallas pick.

 

[アミーゴ]

Let’s not remind ourselves of Jerome James….

EYE don’t know him

 

[floodarea]

I’m down for Barnes and Fox for Julius, Evan, and a Dallas pick.

that’d be a wild finesse by us

 

[ballinsam23]

Im for trading Burks, buying out Kemba if we can’t find a suitor, and trading Randle.

Idk if trading Evan is the right move though.
