I can't believe they just acquired a hometown star player and they want to trade him now. Literally born in Toronto.

They must think he is too similar to Barnes and Ingram to fit with them

It's because he's a net negative player and doesn't impact winning. His usage is too high to warrant a starting spot and he's the worst wing defender in the league. He needs to be a 6th man.

And also his stats are fake. He only plays well at home. At away games he's terrible.

At home he's averaging 23 PPG on 50/37/68 splits

At away he's averaging 18 PPG on 43/32/58 splits.

He can only play well in his home town which is a major red flag. Which makes sense because he wasn't built to be a Knick either.

Because watching SGA bait the refs to shoot 10+ free throws isn't fun.

Well it makes sense why the Kings want him. He fits their style of losing basketball. And no playoff team seemingly wants him. Even the trash Pelicans didn't even want him in the Ingram deal :lol:

value is terrible for Cleveland tho. Orlando would have to throw in 2 firsts here.

Suggs is a game-changer defensively. I can see the case for a straight swap tbh.

personally I would want Suggs more than Garland. I think Garland is overrated af, but he seems to have more value around the league.

you say this all the time, but I think you confuse me with some other posters :D
nah tbh, I absolutely don't give a **** about Randle anymore. He had a good playoff run, think I've acknowledged that more than once. I am more than happy that we have KAT instead tho.

Serious talk Melo, what do you think happens with Randle in the offseason? Do you want him to stay in Minnesota?

You say you don't care but you're always chiming in on how the Timberwolves should trade him and you were just here 2 days ago shtting on him for his "body language" :lol Like I said to you many times you gotta get rid of that playing victim mentality because it's a bad look for you.

I too am very happy with the RJ trade. And will continue to praise that move because it was the one move that literally turned us into a championship contender! Anyways not going to entertain another worthless back n forth with you because you don't like what I'm saying about RJ :lol:

they spending a fortune on IQ, Barnes and Ingram to go absolutely nowhere. I think they might want to shed some salary. Also a pure 3 and d guy, that doesn't need the ball would fit better here. he still had a very good season tho. too bad half the team was injured early on.

i don't bother talking about him anymore but i don't blame melo for doing it. we did have to put up with a lot of bullsh*t for pointing out that rj was not a future star. the clue for the rest of you should have been that he was mostly terrible while here. lol

I'm definitely not watching a OKC/IND Finals. I'll be too depressed and I do not enjoy watching either of those teams play. But I don't think Silver and the league will have an issue with viewership. It won't be as high as normal but I don't think they take a huge dip. It's the Finals and basketball fans love to watch basketball.

Silver may really NOT want a finals with the knicks innit but an okc-ind finals could spell nightmares, viewership-wise

yeah, he is stuck between a rock and a hard place

This finals will be a bust for the league. No one cares about either team. I'm not gonna watch. NBA season is over. We made it to the final three. Damn
