Unless you getting an all-star back, trading Randle and putting all that pressure on Obi would be dumb as f*ck.

Obi can play he’s not some kid he’s about to be 24 he’s ready to play

He’d produce as a full time starter and would play in a way that’s more cohesive with the guys we have

Randle is a fluke one time All-Star will probably never be there again you’re not getting a boba fife All-Star back without throwing additional assets

You basing this all of a 20 game sample. Again bring back a all-star or Thibs needs to let the point forward experiment die.

And I'm not saying Obi isn’t good or won't be, but Knicks fans LOVE to overrate their young players.

The sample is irrelevant. He has the skillset and athleticism to be at the very least a replacement level PF while being cheaper, younger, and with a play style more compatible with our roster and conductive to winning. He’s a high motor do shyt player.

Randle not an All-Star and is having a shytty season and every team knows who this guy is so I’m not sure how you expect an All-Star back. Taking the ball out Randle’s hands will only make him worse.

Not only would it be dumb it would be irresponsible as fukk to put Obi in those trenches. Also it makes the team worse if you think RJ and Fournier are struggling now wait until those double teams Randle commands go way. Obi is an amazing player but he would get dismantled playing against the Giannis, Mobley’s, AD’s of the world.

So you trade Randle away for nothing. Putting Obi in the starting lineup as the man, makes this team worse. Lol.

Cats want to trade Randle away for more spare parts and will continue to complain about not having a #1 option, lol. Never change Knicks fans, never change

Randle is not a number one option he’s not even a number two

Nobody has Obi as the man at that point it would be a by committee team

With Mitch, Sims, Nerlens out there, I wholeheartedly disagree. I also believe that Randle is overrated and will get dismantled by the above guys as well. This says nothing and doesn't fill a void in keeping Randle.

Committee by team is a regression...

You trade off Randle for an actual ball handler that has a low turnover rate while creating a more fluid offensive flow.

Draymond Green brings more to the warriors than Randle for the Knicks right now.

Randle is a PF trying to play like Kobe with a trash shooting efficiency. The dude is either hot or cold. We need Luke warm players.

 

[ISO]

Committee by team is a regression...

No it’s not. The team is presently constituted is a low potential team. And any regression would be temporary.

Toppin and Quickley can both be 20 point scorers as early as next season if given the green light.

nikkas gave up on Knox, about to give up on RJ and now nikkas want Obi to take all the pressure by replacing Julius...

Gee, I wonder what's gonna happen after that?

 

[ISO]

No doubt.

In fact the only way a team with Julius on it could ever compete for a championship is with him playing a Draymond type role as a fourth option.

You can’t hide Obi on defense especially when you guys want him to be a starter. Secondly what attention would Obi command from defenses? There’s only two players who can create offenses for himself and others (Randle, Rose) and it looks like Quickley will get there sooner rather than later. Respectfully you guys aren’t even thinking about RJ career at this point.

 

[ISO]

Y’all fukking scared

Moving on from Julius is a no brainer

Knicks fans were turning on Quickley 10 games into the season. Dark times we're living in
