Toppin should honestly be the back-up five but you know the stubborn coach won't do that unless he's all out of options
Idk they got to have a rim protector so they can do drop coverage. Hart and Sims are the contingency for this reason and why they have 3 centers Thibs will actually play. It won’t be pretty but I doubt the switch shyt.

i feel like Obi is the type who's just "happy to be here".

his game hasn't improved or changed much in these 3 seasons, he'll be 25 in a few weeks and it's time to see what he's really about.

he's another one who's not utilizing and growing his skillset the way he should be. people really thought he'd end up being a baby Amare, but he's not built like that.
The niqqa only playing 9 min a game. Why do y'all do this?

If they were smart, they'd trade him for the wing y'all want now. Nobody's taking RJ off y'all hands.

One has to go and Jules is not gonna have good games with RJ on the court too.

You gotta have floor spacers in today's game and more ambidextrous skills to even out the offense.

Brunson and Randle have been killing it because the offense has an even mixture with Grimes and IQ.

Knicks gotta thug it out with great value Randle (RJ) and find other players to compliment Brunson skillful offense and RJ incompetence when he goes 8-50.

They need rim protectors that can shoot from the perimeter at any time.

Ok, and are you certain that him playing 20 will result in less standing all the way at the 3pt line every possession doing nothing?

All he does is either wait to take a 3, or
wait for the lane to open to try for an alley oop.

Doesn’t really rebound, doesn’t create, doesn’t block shots. Haven’t seen much else from him in terms of growing his game.
:manny:

Yes. With a better coach and more minutes he will produce and develop more. We've seen this last season but tend to discount that when he plays 9 min a game.

We also seen this with Quickley, we've seen that with Grimes, when RJ was out.

To answer your question, yes. The team has a piss poor excuse of a coach that's weared out his welcome by not developing a bench unit by running guys 45 min a game and also an incompetent front office that has shown time and time again to not know when to trade, buy or sell.

But what tf do I know (Donovan Mitchell example)... :coffee:
