Breaking: Obi toppin traded to indiana

[ctorres]

Jacob Toppin's ego should be much easier to manage since he is an undrafted player. He will be grateful for the 10-16 mpg he will get playing behind Randle. Unless we are targeting a veteran forward for that role.

Obi is too good of a player for that. Really disappointed at us getting merely two 2nd round picks.

hey keep up the entertainment in the elon musk thread. its fun watching you get embarassed.

Well seeing that you waste you life away on realgm, you likely don’t get entertainment else where, so I’m happy to entertain you! You should probably seek therapy if the Knicks is all you live for

Randle is all he lives for. He ain't a Knicks fan.

i'm pretty sure he lives to eat too

F Thibs!

damn you right.

He lives for eating and Randle. If he keeps living to eat the way he does now with the Oreos and all that though, he probably won't be living much longer. I think Wingo may even outlive him.

incorrect he was clearly drafted to be the obi replacement!!!!

[robillionaire]

Hopefully Jacob still wears the #1 jersey so people can keep their jerseys without feeling like they've expired

[3toheadmelo]

It’s giving mental breakdowns in here

[NYKnickerbocker]

you know the chant "ja-cob top-pin" has the same syllables and cadence to it so it's not even like we lost anything significant

he actually has a bag. can create off the dribble. looking forward to him

Watch on YouTube

Man showed more moves in the first 5 mins of thag tape than Obi did for his career here

Ugh. What a horrible use of assets.

What's next? IQ for a top 20 protected first-round pick?

Whats great is, when all these picks convey, we'll just trade them for future picks again. Keep kicking that can!

Yeah, it really doesn't make sense.

Any smart GM/POBO would see that after you drafted a guy you hoped would take Randle's place after his disappointing season the season prior, and then seeing Randle having the best year of his career, would be to sell high on Obi and trade him for a future first or something. But wasting a top-ten pick just to come off the bench and watch as his value continually decreases is just bad asset management.

Why draft a guy if you don't even use him? Or why draft a guy who wasn't even the best fit for the team at the time? No one can even say that this is a hindsight statement because we all know guys who fit better were available to us than Obi prior to the draft.

I am quickly losing faith in our management because I just don't see what they're trying to do. We have a flawed team and it doesn't look like they're going to address our weaknesses (a solid wing who can play defense and shoot, and a backup PG).

Hell he might be cut before the season starts

[Phish Tank]

This was the expected return for Obi. The only realistic window to trade Obi was probably during the middle of the 2021-22 season, but that didn't happen. Not sure what people expected here.

[KnixtapeH20]

And more validation that randle is here and this organization is tied to a choke artist.

We gotta hope Randle could somehow pull it together during the playoffs in his third try…

Yea ok.... he turns 29 this year... he will never be that guy

[Jeff Van Gully]

If this dude does anywhere near as well as the numbers he put up as a starter here, this is gonna be a disgusting trade.

Worst management of assets ever.

I’m gonna be sick

memba this

[Guano]

Not going to miss him. Didn't enjoy his game at all.

[god shammgod]

y'all gotta admit 2 things can be true. randle can never be that guy we need and obi can just be some guy who can jump real high and mostly sucks otherwise. there's room for both to be hated on.

[E-Balla]

I'd have much less of an issue with this if:

1. Drafting Obi wasn't an obvious mistake pre draft.

2. We weren't giving up first round picks for Cam Reddish. If Atlanta got a first for him we could've waited and got more for Obi.
