Randle did not deserve it.


Shocking take, very contrary. Everyone on here thinks he was snubbed. Yeah, that's it.

Are we talking '20-'21 or Randle or '21-'22 Randle because he deservedly made 3rd Team All NBA in '20-'21 and then deservedly did not make it this past season. Seems to me that everybody should be on the same page on this one.

Anyhow, he'd much better on a team like Portland, with a strong veteran All-Star PG in Lillard, than with the Knicks where he thinks he's LeBron.

Randle had a great year in 20-21 and deserved his spot. Not so this past year.

Randle to POR is the not the solution to PORs problems but is the solution to at least one NYK problem.

Randle was definitely snubbed this year.

He was top of the league in inefficiency among volume scorers, that has to count for something.

I would argue that giving Knicks fans the thumbs down should have made him the MVP of the league.

Randle’s problems emanate from trying to do too much offensively and Thibs failing to coach him properly … unlike Mike Miller who reigned him after Fizpoop lost control of the team.

No coach was able to rein him in and get the best of him more than Thibs.

For a time.

Randle is a ticking time bomb, especially if he's empowered, as he was when the franchise extended him. He seems like a more decent dude, but he has a little Boogie in him. He's pretty volatile.

Knicks Twitter is the most delusional place.

Fans saying we have the talent to be the Celtics next year if we get the right coach.

What fantasyland do these people live in?

The two most delusional fanbases in sports are Dallas Cowboys fans and Knick fans lol.

The myth that we was the most educated fans has been smashed a thousand times.

tbh i dont think the division rivalries in nba are as dire as some knick fans here make it.
even in football , where division can fuel hatred, sometimes there a division pride sort of thing.
nba division rivalries never really fueled me as a fan of duel teams.
surpringly my most hated teams were usually outside the division, like big 3 heatles.

even many knicks fans most hated team is bulls, which is outside the division.

I dunno how I feel about all these players referencing Kobe’s legacy. There’s too many of them IMO…some of them like Tatum and Giannis deserve to, but a lot of them don’t.

I like the Darvin Ham hire for the Lakers. Kobe raved about him when he was an assistant coach over there, and he has an overwhemling support from a bunch of players around the league. He seems like a really good dude from his interviews too

Quin Snyder did not adjust to teams going small in the playoffs against Utah in any of the last two seasons.

He - much like Bud and Doc - is not that much different from Thibs. The difference is, their teams are actually talented enough to make it to the playoffs.

It's the old guard of coaches. Competent, but stubborn, and predictable. The emergence of pragmatic, flexible head coaches puts their competence more and more into question though, since the NBA a zero sum game.

Well, the Knicks do have Fournier and Walker, so that's a start.

Fair but their biggest problem is their two best players should be the 3rd and fourth best players on a title team not your two best

I was thinking maybe my assessment of Snyder was a little bit harsh. I still came away unimpressed after the two playoff series he was involved in.

I think these two players can be your second and third best players on a championship team, whichever way you rank them. Gobert is a monster in terms of impact until teams play 5-out, when he becomes fairly anonymous. It's a problem. Mitchell doesn't have the efficiency or the creative genius to be a 1A.
