Listening to KFS and Andrew Claudio had said since after migraine games RJ #s are equal to last year of Kobe of a high usage player.

RJ refuses to play within himself. He doesn't know his limitations. He's got his money, he should be content to be an outstanding role player who helps distribute the ball and make his teammates better. He instead does the opposite.

We are destined to be a treadmill team.

Even after RJ retires a Knick, we will do the same thing with our next lottery pick or just the opposite. We either trade them way too early or cut the cord way too late.

Our only hope is that we eventually draft the best player in the draft. But it will have to be another Patrick Ewing moment, where we draft the clearly best player at # 1.

Until then, Dolan as the money to pay for guys like unwanted guys like Randle and keeping the tickets sold out.

RJ is not consistent but he also isn’t the main problem or even the secondary or tertiary problem with this team.

He is definitely one of the biggest if not biggest problems on this team. Far far worse than randle.

He is mediocre in every aspect and dead weight.

Not as all. There are bigger issues with this team. The biggest being Mitch is done for the season. The second is the team is too small. The third is the glut at 2 guard that seems to be affecting all four SG’s on the roster. The fourth might be RJ is inconsistent but then even when he is having a good night the other issues are there.

We need to trade RJ ASAP while he still retains some value. By this time next year, his contract will likely become an albatross and we will be talking about attaching 1-2 FRPs just to get rid of him so we can make room for a superstar.

All true. This is management's doing. They seem to have a good off-season one year and then a bad one the following year.

The team is too small. God forbid anything happen to Randle. Whoever thought Hart could be insurance for Randle deserves to be out of a job. We have too many redundant pieces as management waits for the trade that never comes. You would think that they would learned their lesson from the Walker-Fournier offseason.

I don’t go out of my way to dunk on him when he has a bad game, it’s actually the opposite, I try to dial back criticism as much as I can. I don’t do this with any other player other than RJ because so many people here like him for reasons unbeknownst to me. I hesitate to even post my trade ideas if they involve RJ. So this idea that people couldn’t wait to attack him over a bad game is just hilarious to me. If I said what I think about this dude (which still wouldn’t be half as bad as the way people discuss Randle every day) they’d probably send me on a trip to Belize with jimmit

All I can say is that I’m sorry this is happening

The RJ barbz were so dangerous they had rob shook to even post his thoughts on him. I’m so happy we’re free of RJ and now we get to enjoy and talk real basketball without getting attacked!

Yeah. I called RJ a bust after his first two SL games. No one wanted to hear it. I knew all along.

It is admittedly not totally unpleasant to see some of his obnoxious fans (not referring to people like Deeeez) scramble for answers. The line was crossed on many occasions and there's sweet irony in seeing their arrogance backfire. But that's them, not RJ.

The only lesson here is on how people choose to handle disagreement but I have no illusions regarding that.


I only live in reality. I don't have to scramble for answers either because I have been a realist about him the entire time. So have most of the people who have to deal with his detractors trolling. Those same people would have given up on Randle 5 years ago. Ironically, most of the RJ hate club are Randle fans today.

The only lesson here is that a bunch of jerk offs root against our players to satisfy some weak ass whack ass agenda.

Your argument was that people rejoice in him sucking, which I don't think is true at all. Just because someone accurately assesses that a player hasn't been good doesn't mean they're rooting against them.

I am however glad that some people who were obnoxious about him haven't been validated.

All your aggressive posting was for nothing. Imagine calling people "clown" over RJ.

I think he owes you an apology Chanel!
