Yo can we get Bobby Portis back? The board hated him because he was preventing Mitch from becoming a superstar!

Fire this dude man he’s out of touch. Already talking about this stay ready garbage.

Iq not ready, play the man more wtf .


I mean one game doesn’t mean anything or we’d all be in love with Fournier. Hell, Randle had an entire elite season and everyone already switched on him again. One game isn’t meaningless but it doesn’t mean much.


People may not like RJ or his potential, but you don’t see the animosity towards him that some of us are showing towards Randle.

The reasons should be obvious by now. The man brought a garbage attitude into this season, his body language is hideous and he has dispensed with his positive traits from last season. The interpretation that he just took the money and ran has already been cemented by a quarter season of his fckery

I was always in favor of Kenny Atkinson over Thibs but also supportive of Thibs.

Now, I want kenny Atkinson because I really want to see beautiful offense over defense. I know Knicks fandom wants that Grimey 90s defense which I thought was just too much nostalgia. it's time to move on folks and get a guy that has a plan to move the ball and find open looks.

There lots of unwarranted animosity against RJ. Can’t evaluate a lot of these guys until they play many minutes without Julius Randle relegating them to spot up shooter.

Knicks are 0 -2 without RJ

Would you give up Dallas and Charlotte to get these carcasses off the team? It's going to take that or equally terrible money. Though bad money other teams GMs signed could be politically easier to bench.

Is there one regular poster who wouldn't want to lose every single remaining game while playing everyone 25 and under? If so please stand up.

Just trade Randle, Fournier, Kemba and Mitch for whatever you can get and play the kids the rest of the year. Even if we constantly lose, they'll develop and the fanbase will love them regardless.

If management trades Obi and Grimes to get a player to compliment Randle, I think my head will explode.

Obi = next Stat

And then the immediate disappointment goes too far the other wsy

Welp, the good news is that RJ, Obi, Grimes, Mitch and even Knox had their best games of the year in the past week. Meanwhile Miles, Jericho, & Luka would be more fun to watch than these bums too if they ever play. IQ is floundering a bit again now.

Trade Randle. Start Obi. Call up Luka Samanic to back up Obi.

Fournier is prob a lost cause but Randle may still be tradeable if we can find a sucker who thinks they can reign him in.

This organization never goes full youth rebuild though. Dont get your hopes up people lol.
