What I see from Rivers is that he gets the ball and is asked to do too much because the ball is not moving. He's made some 3's but I don't think it's because of Randle. I also don't think Knox will regress if Randle is dealt away.
Randle is tradable now but he's not leading the Knicks very far. He's too many mistakes, bad D, turnovers, and his offensive isn't good enough to overcome it. He is always in the middle of some defensive lapse and he's a ball stopper too. He's taking shots now that aren't even close. This is closer to who he is than the hot start guy. Sadly lol.
His jumper comes back down as it is now and he's not a really good player.
RJ is struggling but he has a good makeup and enough skill. You don't need to overplay him or count on him a ton yet but he has a chance to be a very good player. Randle is a good 2nd or 3rd scorer somewhere else.
Elfrid is a disaster. Give his PT to Frank and keep developing Frank.
Are you making these claims all of of Randle’s 1 bad game last night???
No I'm basing it on the fact that his play last night was similar to the poor play we've seen from him as a Knick. He's kind of toxic. He stands around while people dunk on us (it's exhausting Mitch). He takes his crappy little side fadeaways. His 3 ball and long 2 was hot as hell but it was obvious it wouldn't last. It's not lasting.
He's really a guy who should be dealt when the stock is high. Maybe you could even pluck a decent young player.
The things that make up RJ are better. He cuts without the ball, he makes low mistakes, he has underrated driving moves, and I think he can be an average shooter.
I know this board is not fond of going against the momentary grain but I'll do it anyway

I'm not saying RJ isn't in really bad territory right now but I think he's going to be a really good player. Or at least he has a reasonable chance of that.
Randle is no good. What I see from him is a guy who doesn't really care about winning. He's a good scorer if you don't rely on him a ton.
