How Obi feels now that he is free

Good for Obi

Well, Mitch sucks on offense so that wasn't an option here. Oh, right, small ball offense with Randle and Obi. Welp, Thibs.

This is a horrible return. Not a rookie, or even a first rounder….

Finally, GTFO Obi.

Worst management of assets ever.

**** Thibs, **** leon, **** this entire asinine front office for letting Thibs stay and **** Randle

So is RJ the backup 4 now?
As much as I like him, think the Knicks need to trade Ihart and get a 4/5 stretch big

Obi gonna put up a nice 16 and 7 for them with regular highlights. Hopefully we pivot well, despite this set back…

When’s the last time the Knicks were on the other end of a deal like this.

Having a guard that will throw his oops and they will put him in dunkers spot. I could see him avg 12-15ppg

We don’t even use our first rounders :lol:

Obi last season took 59% of his shots from 3

For his career with us, he took 46% of his shots from 3 despite being a sub-33% 3pt shooter and 63% from 2.

We gotta hope Randle could somehow pull it together during the playoffs in his third try…

This move is just to freev up minutes of DD...and that's all we will do but the FO will be lauded for patience...

Well you got your wish. You won the war. This all but confirms Randle is a Knick for life!

Brock Aller always getting flowers when things work out but he gotta catch some bullets for this, right? He is the mfker in charge of asset management.

And they love to push pace and play uptempo. It’s the ideal spot for him to thrive and play his game
