Randle's Future

[Iron Mantis]

His shooting was definitely bad in the playoffs but it wasn't the reason we won or lost. Let's remember context:

Knicks as a whole vs. Atlanta in 21: .398 shooting
Randle shooting vs. Atlanta in 21: .298 shooting
Loss (Randle had the 3rd lowest net rating because he was double or triple teamed every time down and the rest of the team couldn't hit an open shot)

Knicks as a whole vs. Cleveland in 23: .430 shooting
Randle vs. Cleveland in 23: .338 shooting
Win (Randle had the 3rd lowest net rating because of amazing coverage by first team all-def and 3rd in DPY Evan Mobley)

Knicks as a whole vs. Miami in 23: .436 shooting
Randle vs Miami in 23: .411 shooting
Loss (Randle had the 3rd highest net rating on the team despite playing on one ankle)

I hear what you're saying.

It all boils down to this: He has the opportunity this playoffs to show what he's worth.

Jokes/Trolling aside, we can agree on this. If Randle is healthy this time around, he has to perform at a high level. I'm optimistic because he shot the ball better against the Heat with the best offensive rating on the team and a good net rating on one ankle. Looked like he was starting to figure things out. If he's healthy and flames out, then it will be in the best interests of the team to move on from him. But I'm optimistic it will work out, and I think the Knicks feel the same way since they aren't shopping him around or trying to move him right now.

100%

I'm tough on Randle, but I need him to bring it in the playoffs so we can beat the Celtics and win it all.

If he lights it up and we make a deep run, it would be crazy not to extend him to a fair deal .

If he goes ham and we win the championship?? Pay that man whatever kinda money he wants and run it back.

Then teams will be scrambling to find an answer to counter our style of play.

I think one of the reasons the Knicks aren't "shopping" Randle is that he's undevalued around the league relative to his value for the Knicks.

He turns 30 in November, he's a 4 with no positional versatility, he doesn't space the floor, and his defense has been inconsistent at best. You can imagine not too many teams would be interested in his profile.

Here? He's a good fit because our primary ball-handler isn't a great playmaker, and Randle happens to be a really good one for his position. He also provides scoring punch as a secondary that the team desperately needed before we acquired Mikal. Which isn't to say Randle's limitations haven't been a problem for us, but his strengths are highlighted here.

But with both Mikal and OG here, I think his strengths are less needed, his weaknesses arguably exacerbated.

I think only 3-4 teams would give up equal value for him. Teams desperate to make the playoffs, like Golden State or Houston, would be plausible candidates. Otherwise? I don't think he fits on too many teams (or their timeline).

Sometimes I feel like Randle's best role on a contender may be a 6th man/Bobby Portis 3rd big role but I can't imagine him going to the bench at this point for the Knicks.

is this real?

Begley saying Randle open to going to the bench.

In a contract year after being an All-Star?

That would be crazy.

it was just ian begley answering a hypothetical question by a fan. nothing to see there

It is all about the dollars.
He wouldn't mind where he is playing as long as he gets his max.
But no sensible team would pay bench player max money.

That's the word from Fred Katz. League source said his trade value is "neutral at best."

That means Knicks did shop him and got no interest.
