This Randle for Conley rumor is just some BS cooked up in the overactive imagination of a desperate Knick fan

Says the guy who’s believing a random Knicks fans who makes podcasts in his mom’s basement :lol:

Y’all believe anything. Wake me up when Woj or Shams says something.

I don't believe it though. Because Utah wouldn't make such a stupid move.

I believe we're talking to teams about trading him. Whether or not this specific rumor is true is irrelevant

But there's also a scenario where we are discussing this specific trade and it falls through for some reason, in which case it still wasn't wrong to report it seeing as it was being discussed at the time.


This

Of course he's on the block
He's a decent player with what amounts to a nice expiring contract
It's the Knicks chance to get some value for him. Well, now or at the deadline.

I'd assume they've called every team in the league to gage interest etc.

I don't think the Atlanta guy has any specific information, nor is there anything really specific or true about this Utah rumor, other than the Knicks asked. Maybe. And then Utah hung up the phone. I guess maybe they were polite and said "Say hello to Perrin for us"

Knicks should add shooters and build around Randle

Probably- but not sure the Jazz financial situation. That ~$15 million this year with COVID may mean they can stay competitive and keep Spida happy. Without knowing the “draft considerations” it’s hard to judge but KFTV doesn’t spout a lot of rumors

I don't think we need to know the draft considerations to know the Knicks should do the deal, if offered

This deal is not as lopsided for the knicks as you guys think. Randle had a great year when he came off the bench for the Pelicans. Randle can be a good sixth man for the Jazz. Like I said earlier the jazz whole offense is based on getting players in motion and attacking downhill and randle can do that well. Quinn Snyder's teams really do move the ball. This is why Donovan Mitchell tends to play off the ball a lot. This style of play is what randle is good at, just catch the ball attack downhill and finish.

Many Jazz fans felt Conley under performed this year and wanted to get rid of him

Honestly... I agree. Randle is not as bad as some make him out to be. Trade makes sense for multiple reasons

Agreed. Hearing what it is may help determine if it’s legit or fantasy

you're wrong. some knick fans on this forum like julius randle. i wouldn't frame difference of opinion this way. player sentiment like this occurs on a spectrum.

if you want to focus on potential trade partners, i'd leave it at that. the phrasing in this OP is really asking for unnecessary smoke.


well......one does


I’m not defending Julius Randall here but if we trade him we would need to acquire someone else who can bring 19 and 9 per game. I remember when we traded David Lee and Zach Randolph. We were the only team that had two players averaging a double double on the same team. That’s not easy to do. I know it was to create cap space and that’s how we got Stoudemire but honestly what other team wanted Stoudemire? None.
Trade for more draft picks is what I would do.

somehow, trading randle for a contract + picks would still be skewed by the media as "Knicks trade for the wrong Jazz player LOL"
