Randle barely shot 30% on C&S 3's....
With no PG play resulting in low quality shots. Problem solved with Brunson

He didn't really belong there though.
He was a good starter for the Knicks, who needed a playmaker to run the offense through, and he played well in that role.
But if any Knick deserved to make All-NBA, it was Derrick Rose.

The Lakers next 1st round pick that they can actually trade is in 2027. And we think the 1st round picks we got from OKC has little value? Yes, if you hate Julius Randle then yeah you can tell the Lakers to just keep the picks cause we hates him. But otherwise, those picks are **** value. Why else do you think Westbrook is still a Laker even though the Lakers have been trying to trade him for some time. Trading for Mitchell and signing Brunson makes the Knicks a here and now. Why trade your most talented player on the team for a couple low value 1st round picks?
Every 1st round pick is valuable.

Not to mention after turning this draft's #11 into three 1sts and the cap space to sign Brunson. So Mitchell would only really cost them 2-3 1sts while also dumping Randle/Fournier plus adding Brunson/Hart.
If that is the Knicks off season there are very few fans or media that could justifiably criticize Rose especially if they were able to keep their youth, like RJ, Obi and IQ.
not exactly...the picks we got probably aren't going in the Mitchell trade.
It will be our own picks. Not every pick is created equal.

Because the Lakers don't want to trade picks 5 and 7 years from now just to dump Westbrook without making any meaningful improvement to their roster
Like, if you look at any of the rumors, they all say that teams are asking for the picks, and the Lakers aren't willing to give them up
The picks have value because nobody expects the Lakers to be any good in 5-7 years, the Lakers included, which is why teams are asking for them and they're not giving them up.

Because all NBA teams only have one guy who can dribble a basketball towards the basket with any ability...
You've been watching the Knicks for too long.

Both will, some NYK picks and some of the others. The picks that people are disregarding will actually wind up being better picks than the ones the Knicks give of their own. The Knicks ones will more likely be in the 20s and the other ones more likely in the teens.
The only different is in appearance, the 'unprotected' jizzing that fans, media and even Ainge will do over them probably won't translate into them being better picks than the ones that are coming from Wash and Det once the protections go down to a lower point they'll convey in the teens, not Mil one tho.
