Knicks vs. Mavs: 7:30pm, 1/12/22, ESPN

Obi will never realize his potential on the Knicks so long as we:

1. Have Randle
2. Don't have a stretch 5

But if you trade for a stretch 5, that means Mitch is no longer part of your plans (unless as a back-up).

And that's why drafting Obi over Haliburton was so puzzling to me.

You can't invest in Obi unless you trade away both Randle and Mitch. None of these guys can play together.

The Knicks have to decide who they want to build with: Randle, Obi or Mitch. What they will do is trade for another big, just to add another layer to this cake of nonsensical complexity.

How about we get an actual floor general

Knicks: no

Probably not needed with Turner spotting up in the corners as Randle goes into his moves.

What is Berman talking about? I would think they would want to get a stretch 5 next to Randle. However it’s even more critical to have a stench 5 next to Obi .

They drafted Obi to replace Randle though.

Part of the hope when drafting Obi was that he can shoot tho. He shot 42% from 3 at Dayton on 43-103 shooting. Shot 31% last season here and 34% following that in summer league. Obviously it hasnt translated this season yet but doesnt mean it never will. His free throws are a good sign.

If he gets his jumper right then he can play with anyone, but this team isnt known for patience and development so yeah he’ll prob get traded soon.

Help us all if Mavs go in and Randle is wack again. It’s against his home state team I kind of expect him to go rogue and throw up 20 shots out of the flow of the offense.

[HEZI]

If Randle isn’t hearing boos at player introduction it will be a disappointment

The blueandorange name isn’t hitting the same. I’m going to need a 50 page essay due by the end of this game to change that.

Obi doesn't fit with Mitch either.

If they wanted to move Randle, they should have moved Randle. Apparently, they wanted value back for him that they couldn't get after the 2019-20 season. Fair. But they got what they wanted in the first place with Randle's fluke All-Star season - he had value this past offseason. They should have traded him then with one year left on his deal.

The actions of the front office are not consistent. They are purely reactive.

You can get mediocre shooting with more switchability on defense from a generic 6'8 3&D wing if you (meaning the Knicks) are so intent on playing Obi as a 3-point shooting PF.

You need to utilize Obi in the PNR to get the best out of him. He was decent in college from 3 from wide-open spot-up 3s, but his speciality is rolling to the rim. So is Mitch's.

It's a waste to play these two together. They make each other worse, not better.

He might have done it for that very reason. Hide in plain sight. I wonder what his next name will be.

[TrueWarrior]

Too bad Porzingis isnt goin. Booing him and Randle on national TV would have been something to behold lol.

[god shammgod]
