Spin it Hahn! Like your paycheck depends on it.

It will also give you a ready-made scapegoat when Cam and RJ still play inefficient ball and lose a **** of games once Prince Treadmill Randle is gone.
And I get to root for my guy Westbrook on the Knicks while you all suffer.
That sounds like a great deal for everybody tbh.
LOL holy shi.t did I just resolve the Knicks RealGM cold war?!
@ClydeStyles @hawthornewingo ... make me secretary of state!

Imagine RJ getting the ball after that deal. It can't be done!

Well, if they can't make any deals, they have definitely boxed themselves in for this season. They are basically going to have to dictate Thibs' lineups to him if we want to see any youth.
I don't know if I'm ready to co-sign that it is damaging long term (outside of Randle).
I will totally admit that I was wrong about giving Thibs more options though. For a normal coach that makes sense, but for him, I now know you have to limit the ingredients you give him.
If RJ was hurt and needs any kind of surgery Thibs is done here. I think he’s done here regardless, but that will put the final stamp on the narrative that Thibs runs guys into the ground.
Those of us who actually watched the game and weren’t looking for reasons to bash RJ could clearly see he was absolutely gassed last night. That’s when you get hurt and he did. Thibs can’t walk this one back

He won the NBA Cares community assist award in 2019-2020. This team is gonna suck balls one way or the other so we might as well being in some high character players!

We complain about randles attitude, selfish and dumb play and decide to bring in the one worse player - washed Russ.

It wouldn’t be Randle just for Russ. It’ll be Randle + 2 or 3 other vets for Westbrook and a FRP.
You free up capspace a year or 2 earlier. And you create room on the roster. Also worst case, we can just waive Westbrook next season and go into the 2023 draft with a lot of capspace, lottery pick + Dallas pick
Or we can wait until the vets deals are over, continue the log jam on our roster, keep picking outside the lottery and be mediocre, hoping to make the play in.
Which one makes more sense?

2 more years of suffering and a pick is better then 4 more years of suffering. Plus not going to lie, it would be great to make team Randle suffer with the rest of us
