OFFICIAL NYk '22 offseason thread, RJ extended

[njavier03]

I wish the Knicks could trade Randle to Portland for Simons

that would put us in the same situation as if we traded for Donovan. a small backcourt with little defense. Randle for an expiring contract is the ideal trade.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Knicks will land a “star” within the next 3 szns.

According to advance statistics KP is a level higher than Randle and has always been. His injury issues is due to game pace. They both have similar defense efg% below 10ft. I will have to find stats of the league avg. They both also shoot a much higher fg% below 10ft than their opponent . KP has a much higher W/S and about the same DW/S.

KP due to his height advantage would be a much better solution than both Randle and Robinson combined. He would both be able to play with Robinson and Toppin

Toppin numbers also show that he is not projected to be better than any of the players listed. Once he is facing the same competition as Randle on defense on a nightly basis his defense fg% will adjust accordingly.

Sure. Let’s trade Randle for KP. KP makes $33M this year and has a player option for $36M 2023-2024, which is the expiring year.

Mitch - KP - RJ - Grimes - Brunson.

Then KP misses half the season.

True but Simons is legit one of my favorite young players

And we gotta be realistic there aren’t many teams that need a PF and/or going in a younger direction…all the teams I said Randle should go to (DAL, Minny, DET) don’t even need him anymore

 

[njavier03]

POR just traded for Grant so i dont think they need a PF either. CHA might be the team, since Bridges is likely not playing any time soon.

Can we ban all “Knicks will trade for a star” rumors from this thread. Especially from YouTube people who have been wrong about every single prediction since they started their channel.

Until Woj or Shams or someone credible breaks a story, we are not trading for anyone.

I don’t even think the Knicks look to trade for a star at this point unless a team approaches them and they can get the deal done fast. The fact the whole team outside of Grimes was basically on the table is not something they can replicate, it fall through, and it not lead to dysfunction.

The only person I could see them remotely look to move in season is Fournier and that too would be based on what I think is not a optimized fit for this roster.

 

[ballinsam23]

If they are star hunting again via trade, Thibs needs to play the youth as much as possible to bolster their value. Which he obviously won’t.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Funny how 1 person starts a narrative & like proper incels others follow along.

I hadn’t started watching his channel from jump but just let me be clear as is position is.

Yup, like hundreds of other YouTubers that love the Knicks, he’s bringing decades of that experience and trying to educate the immensely vast Knicks nation.

Some moves he was spot on & others just didn’t materialize.

He himself doesn’t listen to most “journalists“ and really only responds to Shams, Woj, Berman & Bagley[sp?] occasionally

And as mentioned, Knicks nation is full of NTish fans so I be watching his videos at the foolish things some his viewers mentioning as well.

See ya 2mor w/ another 1.

 

[floodarea]

dudes gotta be a relative or something the way he be caping for him

 

[Mister Meaner]

If we’re related then Frank is still blowing your back out to this day.

Caping btw? Yea, no.

 

[fac3 tak30v312]

His injury issue is he is injury prone due to his awkward build but his game is built up like a SF. Also it’s hard to compare the two when KP left specifically to go be Luka’s number #2 and is now Beals number two meanwhile Randle for his many, many flaws is still the Knicks #1 offensive option putting up those numbers.

Basically how you compare Toppin’s role to Randle’s, KP role is not the same as Randle and he chose that.

Like I get the Randle hate, but it’s not hard to understand why the FO is not actively looking to move him for anyone who cannot also be a first option.

KP numbers has remained consistent throughout his career. Knicks fans drove him out of NYK.

When I took a look at Randles numbers 20-21 season is an outlier season on offense. Defensively he has seen slow steady improvements, his numbers has otherwise stayed consistent.

The different between Randle and KP roles is much smaller than Randle and Toppin.. it’s very clear the chants of “can I get some Top” or some variation of Obi Toppin’s last name far out ways what the numbers say about Randle’s or Porzingas stats and production.

 

[you go boy]

thats why I dont know why they were so hell bent in keeping grimes when you know he aint going to play much lol

 

[Spectacular23]

Back from labor day vacay and read a few days ago that knicks barely wanted to give RJ an extension ????

 

[Spectacular23]

LaMelo sounds good but SGA seems more realistic.

LaMelo will be in in CHA for 8 years before asking out

 

[njavier03]

we didnt drive KP out of NYK. his dumbass brothers did.

Why the Lamelo era might be not long for Charlotte?

Spoiler

Brother Raw says to remember who Lamelo’s dad is. Melo might just be too big of a star for a Charlotte.

He came in to the league rich & pretty much set with those endorsement deals. Lavar wanted all his sons in the biggest stage at Staples.

Outside of the arena that traded away your other son, MSG is the only place a sycophant like Lavar will truly enjoy his time in the league.

Charlotte definitely needs to put a winning product around him to keep him.

However, Charlotte will undoubtedly open up the brinks for him so it’s gonna be a tough steal.

Knicks need to keep winning and growing. His teammates need to keep ******* up off the court.

KG said it best…

 

[ballinsam23]

Pretty sure we wanted to draft Okafor. So lowkey gotta be thankful we didn’t get a higher pick.
