Man they better not trade for Myles turner lol. Don’t wanna watch someone with 1/4 the talent try to be Hakeem lol. Mitch knows his role. Can’t watch him and Julius spinning in the paint lol. One is enough

Exactly.

His articles are a Rorschach test for how much each individual reader wants to be fooled.

I know he reads the board because over the years I've seen at least a couple of articles with stuff I said in it.
Other times, it stuff other people have said.
I should have saved the couple most obvious examples.

True. Turner is gonna cost too much to trade for and he's gonna be overpaid since he thinks too highly of himself. He's already not happy being a role player.

I would honestly rather find a solid backup for Mitch and secure Mitch for a reasonable deal that costs a lot less than what Turner demands. We need a backup that doesn't have the same skillset or weaknesses as Mitch. So Noel aint it. A Bobby Portis type of backup big man who can start occasionally is who we should be looking for.

Here's why I think a Randle trade is coming. Last season was not as much about wins and losses as you think. It was about making the Knicks relevant again. Becoming something other than one of the most dysfunctional franchises in pro sports. And most importantly staying off the back page with drama. With every pout, every grumpy face and telling fans to shut the F up. Randle, reminds ownership and the Front Office how easily we can become that team again. No it's not the Phil Jackson/Melo/Porzingis drama. But it unnecessary and exactly the environment we are desperately trying to avoid. I think everyone except Thibs has realized besides bringing in a superstar. A young dynamic team, gets everyone excited and warmhearted. (Hence the move for CAM) Randle's energy and attitude is taking away from that. So he will be gone, hopefully for a young exciting player. That regardless of wins makes you want to root for this team.

U would have to think NY holds Randle for Zion before exploring other options

bleedblue3303 · Post #31 » by **bleedblue3303** » Sun Jan 16, 2022 4:50 pm

I'm not sure why NO trades Zion. He is their star. He will get healthy and in shape. No where are there any substantial rumors that he is coming. I think we took Cam because we like Cam. He has a ton of potential. Nothing to do with anything else.

Nah, Zion is holding NO hostage. He could have gotten in shape, but he chose not to. He’s being a PITA so they trade him

He rejects the qualifying offer because he's already gotten a zillion dollars in sneaker company money.

Then the back channel (bomber) negotiations begin.

That's in theory. Who knows.

All I know is, he's coming.

I've already had the vision.

These "fake" triple doubles will increase his trade value and allow us to trade for Simmons or Fox.

I was hype until I see it’s a Berman article.

HopelessKnick · Post #38 » by **HopelessKnick** » Wed Jan 19, 2022 9:06 am

Randle to me is a 3rd option on a good team. He needs to be on a team with two guys that are clearly better so that he is put in a place where he can succeed. After 45 games it is now painfully obvious that we are not doing ourselves or Julius a favor......

It’s actually persuasive as all hell and takes a certain amount of skill to basically say nothing but have everyone hear different things, and then react to it. He was a troll before there was a term for it.
