The disrespect Randle is getting across the NBA sub, other team subs, and even this sub is asinine. Looking forward to seeing him shut everyone up and do well for MN
Wish him and ragu the bestโฆuntil we sweep them in the finals.

Love the love.
Without emotion, I believe this trade moves us forward. We got a better player on the court more well suited to JB who is the guy we are built around, complemented by a ton of versatility including arguably the leagues best two 3 and D wings, the grit and mayhem of Hart, Deuces 3 and D, and MRobs stellar d when he actually plays.
That doesnโt undercut how much Randle meant to this team, this franchise, this city. Sucks to see him go and I wish him nothing but the best. All the flowers for his putting a down and out perennial loser of a franchise and reaching heights weโve not seen in twenty years plus.
Itโs ok to turn the page, itโs ok to be excited about a potentially more talented roster and a real center who can also play PFโฆ and itโs normal and should be expected to be sad to see Randle go when he was not nearly as appreciated during his time here as he should have been.
Once a Knickโฆ

Julius made the most of his time in NY and hopefully he gets one last big deal. Iโm just happy NY wonโt be the one giving it. He was an incredibly frustrating player to watch. The ball never moved fluidly with him on the floor. He only passed as a last resort โ double or triple teamed. Lots of guys in the NBA can put up stats with the volume Julius was afforded night in and night out. The longevity and success of his career will now depend on still putting up numbers w/out the extreme volume of opportunities. He will never again be the No. 1 option on a contending teamโs offense.

No one will ever know what that Jan 24 team could have done this year.
This is why so many redditors of this subreddit, including myself, held that โrun it backโ philosophy. A healthy version of that team was ring ready AND fun to watch.
When Iโm 90 years old in a rocking chair, this will be the โcoulda wouldaโ sports story I wont shut up about.
