Julius Randle appreciation thread

[3toheadmelo]

I am here to say I appreciate you Melo, I'm only here for my brother.

Appreciate you gang. Leon a cold mf. He don’t care about fan favorites seeing how he been moving. If this makes our team better I’m all for it man.

Forget fan favorites. He traded Brunson's boy.

I wonder if Brunson still signs that major discount if he knew we was moving Donte. Hopefully this doesn’t create bad blood between Brunson and the FO. I thought if we ever traded for KAT, Mitch would’ve been in the deal. Really surprised they chose Donte.

I don't think so anymore.

Losing Donte is big due to the Villanova connection. They should have swap Donte for Robinson along with Randy since Minny will need a center who has an offensive game to score down low.

It was something we weren't talking about but Hart, Donte, Mikal, and Deuce were a logjam. And with iHart gone we could not afford to sit Hart. He gets the rebounds. And Deuce is cheaper. People are saying we should have sent Mitch but then we're still super thin up front. No thanks.

I'm still surprised they actually did it. Cold as hell.

It's been a roller-coaster ride with Ju.

Year 1 I was kinda indifferent to him. It was a poorly constructed roster formed after the front office struck out star hunting again.

Year 2 he seemed like the perfect fit for the city. The expanded game. The physical toughness. The Kobe Bryant stories. The time in the gym. The young guys following his lead. He flamed out in his first playoff appearance but it happens sometimes. He looked more like year 1 Randle. No big deal

Year 3 I detested him. I was waiting to see how he bounced back from a poor playoff series and was a bit shocked when he was extended early. He went on to have one of the worst seasons I have seen from a star from his play to his attitude to his effort. I wanted him gone.

Year 4 He had a bounce back year next to Brunson but now I was more wary of his flaws. I was curious to see how he would perform in the playoffs. It may have been impacted by the injury but he did show the same issues with effort and attitude at times. I was losing faith in him again.

Year 5 He got off to a slow start but then he seemed to go back to the more physical style of play and had success. I was willing to give him one more chance to prove himself in the playoff but unfortunately he got injured. Going into the last year of his deal before his player option at age 30 I was ready to move on.

I don't know how he will fit in Minnesota. Their head coach was there with him during that one year in N.O. where Julius did play well. Hopefully he knows how to use him effectively. I always wanted to see him next to a stretch big that could protect the rim. The spacing on the Wolves may not be ideal for him in the starting lineup but I wish him much success and hope he finds the right landing spot for him in the next chapter of his career whether it is in Minny or somewhere else.

That 2020-21 year was exciting and I will appreciate the energy that he and that team brought to fanbase.

[Im Coming Home]

bro really said Randle was a fan favorite meanwhile everytime I went to the Garden everyone was ready to hate him on a moments notice and I hardly saw that many Randle jerseys for the 'star' of the team.

The disrespect Randle gets really highlights what a sh*tty fan base NY is, Knicks fans will get nothing good cause they’re by and large a disloyal bunch of ****

Yeah, blame the fans. Not the crappy owner and front offices before.

Suck it up buttercup

that's how the oreo crumbles

telling people they are disloyal after watching decades of trash is one hell of a statement to make to a whole forum of Knicks fans

Go take your Randle doll and cry somewhere else

Randle doesn't deserve much respect. In all honesty I appreciate him starting the upward trend but thats it. He was a selfish ball hog player, who played lazy defense and was all about him. Even players from the past joked about how Thibs would give Randle special treatment. So much easier to cheer for a player like Brunson who is unselfish, and all about the team and winning, not me first like Randle.

[Stannis]

I appreciate the Randle for sparking debates between 3tohead and many others. Those were some gems.

Make no mistake, Players see how the one guy who had the balls to choose this “decades of trash” gets treated like by the fanbase then you wonder why no superstars want to come here….

Have fun with your Karl Anthony Towns doll, after watching his choke jobs you’ll be wishing you had the same Julius that you continue to disrespect

We'd need another C coming back. Mitch is why we beat Philly.

[Guano]

The Randle years were really dope after watching the terrible years that followed melo.

Would have loved to see him get an opportunity last year to right his playoff woes. But alas he isn't ever getting that chance.

Wish him nothing but the best in minny. I enjoyed his time here.
