I'd prefer keeping Vonleh than sign Randle.
I really think they want Randle because he can carry the scoring load. The Knicks go from a 17 win team to a likely late draft 30-something win team with a high level scoring threat that bangs in the paint. Plus, you don’t force RJ to be the primary scorer.
Also, Randle game is the same as Zion’s but he isn’t as Dynamic, or as quick. He is 6’9 so he can bang easier on the paint. RJ just had All Time Numbers playing next to a guy like Randle. So I see the appeal.
I’m not a fan of signing KD, not even cause he got injured specifically. However, his age, and just overall bad Knicks Luck. Makes me wary of it. However in Perry/Mills we trust so.......
If Kyrie doesn’t come with KD fine. Get Randle, let DSJ be the PG. Sign KD to heal. Let the Kids grow, get another mid to late lottery pick. Hope Silver fixes it for us to get a good PG to play alongside DSJ. Come into season two with a team with some chemistry, a Minutes restriction KD, and a lottery pick PG. make a playoff push all while having a unprotected Mavs pick.
that Mavs pick not for nothing would likely be a lot better if we keep Randle out of Dallas. Because, I use to preach this here a lot. Randle and that snake b*stard KP would be a scary front court. A Doncic/Randle/KP front court could be a playoff team even with shyt guard play.
There’s a lot to like in them getting Randle. If Kyrie wasn’t so out of his mind. I would love a Kyrie/Randle off season.
