Like Randle then, putting him on a big deal will be putting the cart before the horse. The Knicks need horses.
That's the thing though VanVleet IS a horse, he's just not the lead one. He's shown with certainty that he can be a meaningful, reliable horse on a championship team. I believe you need those pieces in order to build a championship stable. The order they are acquired doesn't matter IF you are confident in the "integrity", if you will, of the player's game.

No, you put Randle's performance out there as a reason to not sign FVV - like several others have in their argument against signing him. And the odds of that comparison being apt are tiny. FVV simply doesn't play basketball that way.
Van Vleet is the "he probably shouldn't be driving, but we'll make it" friend. Randle is the "WTF? Why did you give him the keys in the first place?!?!" friend.
