Whose starting job did he take: Kemba or Evan?
i wanna see him switch with Evan. Randle needs a better playmaker next to him and Fournier will feast off the ball movement of the 2nd unit.

They will not be better without a trade. Said trade might not even happen this year. What did people expect?
I didn't expect them to be that great but I expected them to make moves that made them SLIGHTLY better than last year and I accepted their one year punt/two year plan to get the other players in.
This team is significantly worse and has exposed the FO, Randle, RJ, Mitch and the rest of the Knicks youth as not all that.
Otherwise, solid job.

Randle is a super 6th man. We are using him as a #1. RJ/Mitch are still pretty young so... whatever. Not trash but.. not stars at this point. The FO keeping Perry was a bit of a head scratcher. He was not very good to begin with. I won't pretend to know the real pecking order as far as decisions that have been made but... that dude couldn't balance a roster after two years yet... he's still here.
The team is nothing more than it was last year. Other teams improved and we didn't. That's the bottom line. A washed Kemba and Fournier aren't the answer. That much is plain to see.
The team refuses to go young and stick with it. Killing draft position and going in circles is the result. Year after year. Play the kids and live with the results!!! That's not in the cards and it just keeps us on the outside looking in as we ignore the players we do draft. For what? Washed vet role players dominating the minutes? Terrible strategy.
Welcome to mediocrity. Treadmill.

I don't care if they "went young" or not. There are multiple ways to build a good team. I just care if the FO is competent at whatever path they lay out. I think a mixed approach of vets and youth can be solid. Again, being good or bad or mediocre matters. Knicks FO is mediocre. Which is a step up. For the Knicks. Usually their FOs suck. But this one? Just there. Possibly slightly bad. Haven't drafted in any special manner. Once again lack pro player scouting and team building.

Burks was wearing blue!? Definitely starting over Fournier! Where can I see a video of that? That would be great!

Wow! Having Randle as a sixth man would be great for the team as well as for him. He would win sixth man of the year for sure! If the front office can convince him to be the sixth man I would hope that he embraces it. For the good team.
