Personally I think it would be a much better fit with this current team. Thoughts?

Will Porzingis ever be healthy? Julius is a better low post option.

Why was Dallas so poor defensively with KP in the lineup? What position was he asked to play?

KP’s health is a huge issue. Last year was the most games he’s played since his second season.

He’s definitely a better fit. He will space the floor and open up the paint. But unfortunately he can’t be counted on.

better fit, but we would be a worse team b/c of his lack of availability

Honestly, yes KP has health issues, but if you're keeping Toppin, might be the ideal scenario.

I like Toppin, and he’s played extremely well when given an opportunity to start and play big minutes.

That being said, Thibs won’t give him a real shot, so whatever the issue is there, it doesn’t seem like Thibs trust him.

You guys still blinded by the Randle regular season thing lol. Knicks would be smart to dump Randle..this is 2020 bubble all over again. If Randle is on this Team next year I’ll continue to root against them

I want both together. Their skills compliment each other well.

KP at PF is a nonstarter IMO. Now sub him in for Mitch and you might have something. The offense would be way better. The defense would be way worse.

Personally I wanted to trade for him to be the back up C to Mitch. He’s another mid guy to add to this mid mix of supporting players.

We desperately needed a 4th guy we can possibly go to for 20 PPG. I think that showed in game 6

Are these the only 2 options? Can I vote "somebody else"
Embiid wanted to win so badly, he deliberately injured Mitchell Robinson.

Classy.

I think KP would actually do really well in this line up. KAT is kinda growing on me but he's a bit of a head case as well.

Yeah well at least kp sits and heals and let's others play.

Randle injured and all playing like ass preventing others to play because of his fragile ego.
