KD running interference so Lebron doesn't bond with Randle

[Fat Kat]

How far has Jimmy taken teams? Not a good comparison at all. It's just one year that Randle has played this way. And on team that has little talent across the board compared to rest of the league. Stop with that. Jimmy Butler is a true winning superstar. Randle hasn't done chit in terms of winning.

The comparisons on this board are really getting out of hand.

You need to calm your biatch azz down. The next time you address me it needs to be respectfully

Okay, dude. I don't need 'to do' anything. This is just a f*ckin message board with fans commenting. I didn't 'disrespect you' (which I find hilarious that you're worried about being respected on some message board).

You claiming that Julius is in the same boat as Jimmy Butler is comical.

Don't disrespect me by telling me to 'calm my biatch azz down'. Now that is disrespectful.

You don't have any 'street cred' (on a message board of all things) because you write some crazy messages about Randle being a next level star in the game and in the same category as Jimmy, sorry bud.

You should be apologizing right about now. If listen more and talk less, you might learn something.

I honestly don't care what you think, and don't need your advice on how I should post on a message board.

Go away, flea. Your hot takes on players are horrible, btw. You're just another Knicks homer that other teams fans make fun of.

I guess you're already putting Julius in the Hall of Fame, correct? Because that's where Jimmy Butler will be after his career is finished. I need to see 3+ years of his play at least. I don't base my judgements of players on more than a half of year of play.

I think Randle can be a LeBron lite if you give him another bona-fide star where it's not all on him. I do think he can be a number one option (if he continues this high level of play) if we had a true point, better spacing, better shooting and a proven backup so he doesn't have to play 48 minutes a night... This man is exhausted every game and that's with elite conditioning.

Get this man some help. Elfrid hurts his game so much. All he does is play hot potato behind the 3 pt line because he knows he cant shoot. And then he's too score first when he's not. Elfrid helps nobody on the team.

Ideally you would love to pair Randle with someone like Kawhi and have Randle the secondary-ish, play off option but I think Randle has shown he's on his way to becoming one of the best players in the league.

Our team is not that far away from serious contention honestly but we need to add and subtract pieces.

Well this is a fun topic to look back on

[KnixtapeH20]

I guess you just read w.e narrative you want and u run with it.

Nobody said anything to that extent but its cool

And I said Lebron-lite

It's cool dude. I wasn't talking to you directly in my last post. You did say Lebron lite. I'm only saying that we should probably choose a different player when we're coming up with comparisons. I'm guessing you might agree with that.

I mean I just used LeBron bc they have very similar games and body types. Lebron is obviously a super high flyer but they both facilitate, rebound like a demon, fade-away, post up, shoot the 3 at a high clip -- Randle just been improving across the board.

So much fun to watch. He's not even at his peak yet. I believe he can add more to his game with better players around him.

His defense under Thibs really shows he's up to the challenge against any big.

Okkkkk RANDLE!!! Proving the kid right

[prophet_of_rage]

I don't get why people talk about Randle like he's 31 or 32 years old.

Dude is 26....he's not even in his prime yet.

Cause he looks old.

As a Lakers fan who saw that look on his face his first game and seeing him develop and gradually get to where he’s now dominating.... there’s a lot of people rooting for Julius. His attitude is second to none. Dude just works.

He’s not an mvp caliber player just because he’s had a nice stretch. Is Bogy in the MVP discussion?

Bogdanovic is not in the MVP discussion because his defense sucks, he disappeared down the stretch, and he ended up -13, nor has he been the centerpiece of the team over the course of the season, so you my friend are quite confused and lost.

I don’t think neither him or Randle is in the MVP discussion to be honest. Randle might get a vote or two, but he hasn’t been playing at an MVP level all season

I beg to differ. Julius has averaged at least 22pts 10rebs and 5asts every month this season. So far this month he is averaging 27-10-7. If he ends the season playing like he has been during this stretch and the Knicks finish 4th or better, you have to put him in serious consideration.

On low efficiency and high turnovers. I think he’s MIP. But I would have to have some serious homer glasses to think he’s in the running for MVP

So the All-NBA watch...

You know who plays with high efficiency? Guys with other superstars around them to take pressure off them. Not someone that has to grind through carrying Elfrid Payton on his back. He is shooting 46-40-80 on the season. How much more efficient do you want him to be?

He averages 114 pts per 100 shots attempts, which is the 37 percentile for bigs. He’s around league average TS. I’m sorry I don’t think he’s MVP level and I don’t blame anyone for that I just don’t think he’s one of the best players in the game, both offensively or defensively.

He is not a big in the traditional sense. He doesn't live in the paint like Embid. He does the majority of his scoring from the mid range and 3 point shot. Most of his shots are also very difficult and fading away from the basket. The fact he scores at that level with the shots he takes is incredible on its own.

He only shoots 43% from midrange. I think he’s having a heck of a year, but not to the mvp standard. We don’t have the record and he doesn’t have the stats
