Around the NBA. Should change the name to "Where posters post clips of certain players so they can bring up old board arguments they hope to win"

If you always complain when it goes against your bias and are happy to join in when it’s pro your bias, you are part of the problem :lol:

You just want a thread where ppl can irrationally hate on everyone and anything else is heresy

Wow. You took this personally. Feeling guilty much? I didn't specify you. However, if the shoe fits...

Looking forward to the RJ Barrett clips in here 3 years from now, when he has a good game every so often.

We shouldn't have signed Randle, portis Payton etc., but traded for Barnes + Bogdanovic/Hield instead. Kings sure wanted to get rid of him and Barnes > Randle.

Randle is a way better player than Barnes on a cheaper contract. We don’t have much assets to offer for Hield. Bogdan bogdanovich is not that good of a player. He’s having a mediocre season.

Barnes is better. Very good defender, 37 percent from three, 40 percent last year, 37 for his career. Same FG%.
The main asset is us taking on the contract into our cap space. We did and still do have more assets, like Knox and DSJ. A lineup of Frank, Hield, RJ, Barnes and Mitch is much better than anything we could possibly come up with this year.

I don’t take things personally here. If I did, I would troll way harder and I have plenty of ammo from the last 3 years, especially this year. I’ll leave that chit to the folks who need the validation.

This isn’t the first time you complained about things discussed in the around the NBA thread. True or false?

Why do you join in on the agendas when it favors your opinion if you have such a problem with ppl using it to troll other people? Hypocritical much?

Bullock, Knox, Clips 1st, Hornets 2nd this year.

If it takes more I'd consider it. He's perfect next to RJ and Mitch and I think he's a legit number 2 on a solid team.

His contract is great, so I offer anybody other than Mitch and RJ. A lineup of

Frank, Hield, RJ, H. Barnes, Mitch

puts everybody into their natural positions and highlights their strengths. Great shooting and defense. RJ at the ball. Additionally sign Jerami Grant. That's an awesome team right there, lacks nothing.

Barnes is an average player on a max contract. No thanks. At least Randle is living up to his contract with 19.3 PPG 9.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists. I’ll take that over someone like Barnes all day.

And any lineup with Frank as the starter is terrible. He’s a 3rd stringer. No way the Knicks can get Hield either

Randle is the key to all the problems. All our problems start with his style of play.

When Randle was out when his grandmother died the Knicks was getting blown out every night. So he isn’t the problem. Meanwhile Randle has been the key to wins against Dallas, Brooklyn, Miami Heat, etc.

I think it's amusing. Also, I'm pointing out that 'Around the NBA' on this forum is rarely about "Around the NBA"

He isn't the problem and he isn't the answer. Meanwhile, yet again, Knicks shelling out in excess of 18 million a year for that guy.
