Randle's Future

[Jalen Bluntson]

They're both still gimpy and teething on apple sauce

We're going to small ball the crap out of the league tho!

Donte will put up 47 in 18 minutes off the bench and Hart will grab 22 rebounds in one quarter.

Fear Not!

Our tiny soldiers will overwhelm all opposition that stands in our way!

Onwards!

My cousin was the Swedish version of a Navy Seal, an attack diver. He was somehow promoted to those ranks despite being very near sighted to the point their unit's commander would address him as Magoo.

It's possible. Siakam just received 4/189. Randle may see himself as a similar level player or better. Unfortunately he has picked up some baggage that has been attached to his name that Siakam hasn't and may not be offered the money he feels he deserves.

2/ knicks are offering 4/182

I doubt it for some reason. They seem to be looking for discounts anywhere they can find them and there doesn't seem to be a huge market for Randle where you would worry about another team maxing him out in the off-season imo.

3/ knicks are not offering anything

Also possible. The last time the Knicks extended Randle he followed it up with that memorable 2021-22 season. They may not want a repeat of that again. It would also make it easier to trade him if teams don't have to worry about him locked into a big deal into his mid 30's unless he is willing to take a cheap extension.

4/ knicks are offering less than 4/182

I don't know. No matter how they feel about his fit or his future i'm sure there is some number below his max with either less money or less years where they would obviously be comfortable keeping him around or trying to move him later on a cheaper deal. I may worry about how he would react if he felt it was a low-ball offer though.

5/ randle wants 5/304

0% chance imo. Randle and his people have to know that no one is giving him the full 5 year max.

I just hope they figure out what they want to do with him between now and the trade deadline. I don't want to lose his talent or salary slot for nothing but I also don't want to be forced to keep him around if they don't think he is a good fit going forward.

Knicks are in a strong position where they might be able to force Randle to pick up that option. The number of teams with cap space next season is kinda low, and a few are rebuilding. Randle hasn't proven his ability to play on a championship team so if that's what they're doing, I approve.

Best case scenario for us is that he does prove it, but I doubt almost anyone who can play good defense one year and just randomly stop for the long haul. It's some type of Wizard of Oz thing going on with him, where we're trying to get him a heart and a brain at the same time. Some good health for OG too, please.

The Swedish version of a Navy Seal. What is a swedish fish?

I wish I could and+1 this more, at least 5 times.

I think the Knicks are waiting to see if Randle is healthy and how he gels with the rest of the team. They had a sampling and that looked great but I think they want to see if this can be carried over and repeated. If so, I'm sure they'd be happy to extend him at 4 /182 but probably would happier it if Randle comes and says he'd be happy with 4 /160 cause they got something great going.

From Randles standpoint I'm sure he's waiting to see how he fits with the rest of the team. Fit seemed to be great for that small sampling, but my guess is he also wants to see if it can be repeated. I'm sure he would love it if the Knicks gave him 4 /182 but he may be willing to go down if he feels that his fit is where he wants to really be.

I think everyone knows that Randle isn't getting 5/304 from anyone.

If Randle averages double digit rebounds and 5+ assists, he will still be an allstar even if he doesn't score above 20 points a game

what a monster

[JayTWill]

It's good to see Julius is open to whatever role is needed of him. He has a very versatile skillset where he can contribute through scoring, creating for others, rebounding and hopefully playing defense at a more consistently positive level. I remember after the Atlanta game early in the season some people jokingly called him Drandle (Draymond/Randle) after he only took 10 shots for 17 points while having 12 rebounds and 9 assists. I wouldn't mind seeing that version of Randle more often this year.

On the flipside I hope Thibs is open to using Randle less this year if he simply is not having a positive impact on the game for whatever reason. If Randle is tired or injured, having a difficult matchup or just not giving a f@ck in that moment he should sit him. Thibs showed the willingness to sit Boozer on the Bulls in big moments in favor of Taj at times. He should be willing to do the same with Randle and the versatility of the roster if necessary. I hope Randle would be understanding of that role too.

I'm very curious to see how things play out.

If we get “Drandle” who is more defensively engaged focused on helping move the ball we wouldn’t feel losing Ihart nearly that much.. in fact I hope that’s the guy we get cause if we are activating Bridges and OG early Randle will get his easy with 3 guys offensively engaged and efficient from outside..

[HarthorneWingo]

Randle’s future is making All-NBA for the 3rd (4th) time.

[moocow007]

Randle's best role is still to focus on offense. That's who he is. To expect him to focus on defense and facilitating is taking him away from his strengths. The Knicks have enough defenders. More than ever. What they need is for them to figure out how to execute offensively in such a way so that they (as a team) can get both more shots and more efficient shots. If you run a slow half court ISO centric offense someone will revolt. Too many guys that want the ball (I don't care what anyone says).

these stories are so ridiculous that I am beginning to believe that they are planted stories from the knicks.

Unless they want Mikal to be ahead of Randle in pecking order, it makes no sense for him to come off the bench.

Where is this stuff coming from? It's strange, indeed.

You tell me

It certainly isn’t coming from Randle

And

It’s just so weird for any analyst to come up with it on their own because it really doesn’t make a lot of sense and isn’t really supported by evidence (Randle improving everyone’s 3pt% on the floor).

So my conclusion is that it has to be coming from the knicks. And they are just accelerating a team without Randle. They want to start playing the core team next year without Randle in mind as a long term player.

That or Randle won’t be ready to start the season. And if he wasn’t going to be ready, why bother with some weird planted story about him coming off the bench? Just say he won’t be ready.

So it really makes u wonder.


The knicks really might not even be offering Randle an extension.

It makes sense when you think they may want to start Hart and OG together. If Manu can come off the bench Randle isn't too good for it.
