Donovan Mitchell Thread #6 - Something might actually happen in this one!!!!!!

[KnixinSix]

Do you agree/disagree with this take:

2022 is an outlier in Randle's career.

In almost every way 2022 was by far his worst pro season. The numbers are clear. Career 18 PER. 15 in 2022.

Career 55% True Shooting.
50% in 2022.
Career 47% FG%.
40% in 2022.
Career 33% 3pt%
30% in 2022.

The empty arenas thing doesn't bear out because he's been a much better player. He didn't just have a crazy good year and regress. He had a crazy good year and season as bad as his age 20 rookie year.

A major issue with Julius tho is he got a taste of being “the man” in 20-21, and I don’t know if he can go back to playing a bit more off ball like he used to again.

If we want him to have a smaller role, play faster, and be more efficient then we should just get rid of him and start Obi instead, who’s better at that stuff without the emo baggage.

Bottom line for me: Julius has already shown he can and will meltdown. Whether its the 2021 playoffs where he laid an egg, or last season where he acted like a brat for most of it, I just cant trust him again.

Hoping we at least pick Julius or Obi this year, and trade the other. Their whole situation isnt good for the team or fans so Leon needs to choose one already.

What do the Knicks do? They trade Randle to aquire more assets for Mitch?

It certainly feels like ONE of RJ,Obi or Randle will be moved.....which one is the question.

It’s like thinking DM just gonna be ok and play on the Cavaliers , or Houston Rockets , Sacramento or Detroit because they give him the biggest package .

Ainge could ruin his career by sending him to a bad situation , DM has been called the good soldier , Ainge is being sergeant silly with propositions like Toronto .
Another insulting proposition by Ainge.

———————————

It’s like Aige is the off-season Home run master and people act like we are desperate to pitch to him .
WE act like we are desperate to pitch to him .
Right now we’re pitching around him.
He ain’t swinging at nothing that ain’t a home run pitch and we can’t find the strike zone.

Best thing to do is just wait for next batter , who not so prolific . If you stick with this guy and get him want he wants he Gonna hit you hard .
And what’s the incentive?
This out only getting you out the inning not win you the ballgame. (Nba contention)

Or you need your best stuff ,
Make him chase a pitch out of the Zone that looks like a home run ball.
Maybe this means start offering Randle……

The Knicks can keep pitching around him because no matter how many times it's out of the strike zone Ainge has no balls.

The “get it done” people never actually say what theyd trade to “get it done” I notice. I guess it’s everything? There needs to be a line in the sand somewhere.

So ur okay with a package of 7 picks (4 Knicks unprotected) plus IQ, Obi, & Grimes?

That’s basically our best offer since they prob dont want RJ or Cam with their extensions looming.

Just be clear about what ur giving up when u say “just get it done LeOn!!!”. You’re handicapping the team with players that arent that great and dont fit together. It prob wont even be entertaining once the new car small wears off in November.

These blowhard broadcasters get off by knocking the KNICKS. Not only does it get them clicks and views, but they feed off of it.

If we do the trade, they're gonna b*tch about how DM won't make us a contender. If we don't do the trade, they're gonna b*tch about how we were stupid to let an All-Star slip through our fingers.

We can't win for losing with them.
