Why do people constantly bring up “They Have to trade Randle?” Thats the dumbest shit ever….i don’t hear any other teams wanting to trade someone who’s an All NBA player. Stop the hatred
Those people did not watch the Knicks last year, they casually watched the Knicks. The Knicks have a team of guys prone to injuries, they need all the top players they can get. And Randle is probably up there with Jalen Brunson in terms of ability to dominate his individual matchup and attract double teams. The last aspect is very hard to get in the nba, a player who opposing teams have to double team to stop him from scoring.
Exactly
A lot of these experts were trying to break up Tatum and Brown the last few years too.
Randle is in prime shape and plays well with Jalen and the other Nova guys so why trade him! Also reasonable contract and who would they replace him with. Need him now more, as IH is not coming back!
It’s not about hating Randle, it’s about his overall fit on the team, and what type of team is trying to be built. I’ve never been a fan of his game personally, aesthetically to the basketball eye, his game is ugly as hell. The game is moving away from undersized, with short arms and no vertical lift PF’s. Ball and body movement is where the game is. Multiple long and athletic Wings are what moves the needle now. He’s shown that he is more of a regular season player, who puts up decent numbers when the lights aren’t as bright. He’s either hurt or non effective during the playoffs because now teams focus on his weaknesses, and he’s unable to adjust. My final take on Randle is that I would run it back with him this upcoming season, do not even think about giving him any extensions before the season starts or before next seasons trade deadline. If he is one of the reasons that we reach the ECF and advance to the Finals then I’d say extend him.
Those picks are worthless in the late 20s KNICKS are ready to compete right now not years down the road
2027 and 2031 are worthless? even picks in the late 20 are not worthless
Mikal Bridges is not an all star.
You can predict the future 7 years ahead? Can you tell me the lottery numbers?
Bridges is the perfect fit for the Knicks!!! Let's gooo!!!!
is he? would rather have a combo guard like DJM who was a lot cheaper
@iec7587 Knicks are in the win now and we needed another scorer and Bridges fits the bill perfectly and his defense is outstanding. Perfect chemistry that is important.
Then "Knicks Overpaid for Brunson"
Now "Brunson is Underpaid
Now "Knicks overpaid for Bridges"
Future "?????"
Profit
There was no gap between a healthy Knicks team and the Boston Celtics. Now the Knicks that finished the season which was half of their team there was a gap in that. But the Knicks healthy was already the better team.
These announcers forget that the Knicks was playing with their bench in the second half of the season. Not their starters. And they were one game away from the conference finals. So to say that there was this big gap between the Knicks and Celtics is simply not true at all. The Knicks was actually better than the Celtics before they lost half their roaster to injuries. Getting Mikal only widens the gap between the Knicks and Celtics with the Knicks being above them. If the Knicks can avoid significant injuries this season. I will be proven correct.
Go back and look at the Knicks vs Celtics in January before Julius Randle got hurt and they had their starting lineup outside of missing Mitchel Robinson. Blew them boys out.
And suddenly the East got suuuuuper interesting suuuuuper quick!! 😮😮🤩🤩👍👏
I guarantee Bridges will play better on this team. Then ever before. It’s been proven with Josh Hart, Isaiah Hartenstein, Julius Randall and others. Plus he’s with his boys
Knicks > Celtics next season.
More grit, more passion, fewer robots and overall more team cohesion. 😊
Mark it down! 😉
We did it.... WE DID IT!!!!
Tatum & them boys got another thing coming 😈
Hurts to see Hartenstein go to OKC tho... 😢
Hope it won't affect this prediction too much! 😅😂
Having 4 knicks picks and a bucks pick in the first round is like having 4 10s and a Jack in spades
Legs great basketball mind knows his shit
With a healthy OG, Hart and Bridges the Knicks can play Randle at the 5 at some times.
Wing defense matters in the league and they have enough finish possessions with rebounds
Plus Mica was all defensive team at Phoenix! People forget that; got a team who can defend against Boston. In fact, Boston has a matchup issue against Randle. Who plays him on defense? The old guy?
You telling me a guy who average over 20 ppg and always available ws a overpay! You know nothing bro
Thank you from Singapore! 🇸🇬
Saddiq Bey is somewhere sitting and looking at his phone...
and Kyle Lowry!
overpay my ass, that's why he ain't a GM dealing with contracts... he knows diddly squat... keep yapping
Brunson, randle mitch, og and bridges. 🎉🎉🎉
Celtics strike no fear! Pg embiid and maxey tho are no joke! Embiid with one eye - half a face is scary!
NBA is growing traction again! Because the east is getting better!
East playoffs seem better than west if not for injuries
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊0
Embiid is a dirty player. He took mitch out and tried to hurt another. Knicks won’t forget that come next season, especially playoffs.
The only pick that could matter is the ‘31 pick
He is not a superstar they bended over for the mid Brunson they blew it
Tim legler is one of the best analysts in bball
+5000 they hire Jay Wright
Not worried.... knicks haven't moved up in the NBA lottery ever
Randle opens up the floor for others being as teams have to guard him. This line up is built perfect for Randle to draw the double team and then dish out.
Why is bro on the left just writing off Randle like that 🤡 at least Legler knows what’s up
Why was this host so dismissive of Randle?
Bros talking about Mikal being the second option. No dude the second option is obviously the 25ppg all NBA PF who has been one of the most doubled players in the league over the past four years.
they lost IHart which is gonna sting
Best Knicks squad ever?
The championship years ages ago.
Knicks been losing for so long as soon as they become relevant they overpay for 2 guys who are like the 3rd and 4th option. Paying 0G $42.5 million a year for the being the 4th option is insane. He was literally the 4th option or coming off the bench in Toronto and could never stay healthy. Also giving up that much trade assets for a non all-star player in Bridges just seems desperate. I know the Knicks fans love all of this but if they can't ever get past Boston is it worth it?
Did you watch the knicks at all last year?
Be quiet Tim Legler is talking
it is an overpay BUT
-they really didnt have a choice on OG
-they had to make another move and go for it
Quickley just signed for $35M yr … almost same money different level player. Great sign !
New York will always overpay for anything. People come to NYC to get paid.
No mention of Brooklyn ?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brooklyn passed away a while ago 🙏🏽
You mean Jersey?
Swamp dragons are irrelevant
Nets have something like 16 draft picks between next year and 2031. For all his flaws, Sean Marks is pretty adept at drafting. I think the Nets will be all good
I see the RJ Barrett role for him, mostly spot up shooting and some playmaking opportunities when he is playing with the starters. But he probably will run the second unit, playmaking wise.
Sorry but Mica fits in better, all defensive team three years, Better length, better three point shooter, and can create one on one or pass off. RJ is below average defensively, shoots worse and disappears a lot of the game. Who would you want to attempt the game winning play?
@@dandandkl9048 wasn’t comparing the two players abilities, just noting that role is available. And Micah’s skillsets fits well in the role.
@@dandandkl9048can you read dude?
i do not like that intro song like i like the other one lol
