Randle Trade Talk

[NYKat]

Randle has become beyond unlikeable.

The next bad game he has at the Garden is gonna get ugly

[Capn'O]

He gone yet?

Well, for context I happened to sit directly behind his wife and son at the Laker game so I had 3 hours to think about how weird a dynamic it really is.

In reality, Randle’s talent and hard work have earned him every penny of that contract, but it’s also earned him a certain loss of privacy especially when MSG so blatantly cashed in on the marketability of a 4 year old last season. Every Knick fan at that Laker game knew exactly who that kid was walking around the concourse at halftime for some Doritos.

Super weird dynamic especially since she just had a second baby, but whatever. My guess is MSG made a mistake by bringing his family into the public eye and it’s affecting his emotional volatility.

Jason Kidd did that with his son. And I suspect it was because Joumanna didn't trust him. Doug Christie's wife was everywhere.

Who knows if Julius got busted. There's thousands of reasons why he has the family with him.

Just keep it to Julius is playing poorly and needs to be traded.

Ha, did you really just use Jason Kidd and Doug Christie as a rebuttal to Randle being a high-drama weird dude?

The first thing I whispered to my date was that Kendra was probably there to keep an eye on Julius. Our entire section was filled with silicon, Botox, fake lashes, and assorted fillers.

If there’s a point here it’s just that the man doesn’t seem cut out for the NY spotlight. He and his family would be better off in Sacramento or Portland. Honestly, having spent time in Dallas, they’d fit right in. But this 5-year-old-in-the-spotlight sh*t won’t fly in NY. MSG needs to stop posting his face all over everything b/c it doesn’t seem to be helping dad’s emotions.

Is that what you got out of my post? We don't know anything about Randle's personal life or why his kid is there. And it has nothing to do with why Randle needs to be traded.

That's my point.

What was that exchange between Randle and the laptop guy? That was another bad look. Real bad.

Randle is very physically talented but his head is messed up. I hope we trade him.

[prophet_of_rage]

It’s very rare we see the type of interaction we saw with Randle. Last time I remember that on the Knicks was Zeke and one of our guys when he was coaching.

Watch other teams. It's not rare at all. We're just supersensitive re: Randle right now.

Congratulations. You just showed a video without an incident in the last 5 years.

So you've only been watching the NBA for five years? I'm showing incidents back to the 80s. It isn't new or special.

I agree 100% that we don’t know what’s happening in his private life. I just think you’re being intentionally naive or obtuse if you don’t see that the highest paid Knick fresh off a big contract is being a volatile head case, and that while trying to figure out why, the general public (me) might point out that he and MSG were complicit in making his own family a recurring theme on worldwide cable TV and the Garden jumbotron.

While I have no personal knowledge of the man’s family life, I am generally an expert on the specific subject of fatherhood and emotions. Bringing an emotionally volatile man’s family into the picture was not a bright move by the Garden. I repeat: if Julius and Kendra want a public spotlight on their family, they would be better off in a smaller market.

There's been player coach confrontations on the sideline since the inception of professional sports. And yes, Lebron and similar players have did similar things to the coaching staff. Now you can argue that those guys "earned it" (the right to disrespect the coaching staff in the same manner that Randle did) but then again what does that even mean right? Disrespect is disrespect, wrong is wrong. Randle was absolutely wrong in that situation but he's not the only guy that's ever done that by any means. It just so happens the media has him under a spotlight and anything he does will worm its way up to the sunlight. Randle for his part should know that and be smarter. But that doesn't mean anyone else (Lebron, KD or any of those guys) going off and trying to clown his coach should get a pass.

Sure, but Randle ain’t Lebron. And Lebron never played in NY.

Don’t get me twisted. If you want to bring your kids into the spotlight, fine. But if you’re the highest paid Knick and you play like sh*t and behave like an ass, you’d better be prepared emotionally when the crowd turns on you. Maybe Randle doesn’t care that thousands of Knick fans boo and curse him when his kid is sitting two rows away. Or maybe he’s a human being and his feelings are hurt that he’s being very publicly humiliated in front of his family.

After 19 years in the NBA, I have no idea what LeBron’s wife looks like. MSG made Randle’s family local celebrities in the first two seasons. It was a cheap two-bit move by the Garden, and maybe it’s part of what’s contributing to Julius’s public meltdown.

This claim of expertise seems highly dubious and more based on your empirical observation than study.

Why do you assume it is MSG bringing Kendra and son to the games? It might be a publicity stunt. It might be for support. It might be punishment. We don't know and it makes no difference to why Julius needs to be traded.

That is simply the relationship with Knicks fans is toxic amd irreparable.

I'll agree with that but I don't like the aasertion by dakomish and others that this is somehow novel behaviour.

You've never seen Savannah Brinson? I've seen her far more than Julius's wife. She's quite fine, actually. You should take a look.

Lebron shoulder-checked spoelstra in the middle of a game, what has Randle done that's worse than that?

Nothing. By all accounts Randle has always been a pretty mild and cool guy. In fact I've heard folks say that Randle would be better served if he showed some emotion so that we can tell he actually cared? Now that he showed it, folks are incredulous as to how dare he show it?

And before anyone gets carried away, I'm not condoning what he did nor am I supporting it. Simply saying folks are getting carried away and looking for any reason to try and lynch the poor guy. And that's just real sad...and why chances of any other big name free agent ever wanting to come to NY to wear that target on their back is probably on the downswing once again.

Just saying...

Who cares what LeBron/Spreewell/Isaiah did? It is completely irrelevant.

Randle has been acting like a doosh to his teammates the fans and the staff. He hides from the media. These things are what matter. Accountability for HIS actions are what matter. Losing his temper every other game. He needs to go. Period. His skill level doesn't warrant this type of behavior for sure. Not that that should matter but...just making a point.
