[@CorrectDefenseSC]

I'm sure someone has told you by now, but Julius Randle and his wife were just trolling on instagram, because there were Randle jerseys on sale. That "the truth will come out" post is actually an inside joke with the Knicks organization and fanbase from back when KP got traded from the Knicks to Dallas and posted that. There's a specific Knicks twitter account that everyone in the fan base hates that does obnoxious things like this sometimes. So, there isn't any actual animosity between Randle, the team, or the fanbase atm other than him not signing an extension yet, which is just business.

[@ajvillegas2107]

The account that posted what Randle reposted is BKE a known liar in the community and someone that starts drama for clicks many fans posted randles jerseys in the shop and Randle and his wife (she posted some also) were probably trolling but I don’t believe he’ll be out of place because his playmaking is heavily underrated as long as he can know when to go for his shot and if he can be healthy for a playoff run for once

[@angelob2375]

Knicks fan here. The disrespect Randle has gotten is insane. His playoffs have been some shit trust me we know but overall, he’s a walking 24 and 10. That doesn’t grow on trees and he provides big body for us down low. His presence and him taking away defensive attention from Brunson means so much to the team. Oh and also with the Randle jersey thing at MSG. There was another pic that came out that showed that to the left of the Brunson jerseys there was a whole bunch of Randle jerseys.

[@Christo_Trismegistus]

And Randle is underrated as a passer too. The Knicks could play five out basketball now and have the depth to keep up with Boston

[@chrilpy]

@@Christo_Trismegistusnot a good enough defender to play center

[@shorewall]

I think they should only trade him if they can get a good center. Otherwise run with him and try him at the 5 part time. As far as him being a 24 and 10, without him, those shots go to other players. If he isn't there, Bridges, OG, and Donte get more shots. I also think Randall as a Super 6th man would be awesome, but I wonder if he would do it. Going back to trading for a Center, can you imagine if they traded him for Rudy Gobert? I originally was thinking of KAT, but whoever they get has to work with Thibs, and Thibs coached KAT before, so he could either think KAT is fine, or not want anything to do with him. :D But Gobert gets a lot of hate, and the fit with him and Kat is tough. Adding Randall to the Wolves might make them better on Offense, since they aren't a streamlined offense anyway, so he wouldn't really mess up much.

[@pakpaksugar5194]

also, the only playoffs he was truly, truly, terrible in was 2021 (2023 he played through a foot injury i think), and im inclined to forgive him for that tbh (blasphemy ik), but the 2021 knicks were always destined to come crashing down at some point, and when the only other goodish player on the roster is the corpse of drose…yeah

Idk who folks think mikal bridges is . I think a lot of folks still look at that post trade deadline 23 stretch and think that’s who the real bridges is. Dude doesn’t have the handles or jumper or finishing ability to be a consistent go to scorer. And there’s plenty of evidence that even as the 2nd offensive option behind Booker and then behind cam Thomas post January his defense declines a lot. If you want the best version of bridges you expect 15-16 a night as a 3rd option that way you don’t see the massive defensive drop off. So shipping off Randle would be insane to me

[@remymorgan9630]

Tired of the Randle slander, especially when it comes from casuals. Julius Randle and Larry Bird are the only 2 players in NBA history to average 20+ points, 10 rebounds, and shoot over 40 percent from the three. Randle and Bird. That's it. Randle was commanding the fifth most double teams in the entire league. He is a 3 time All Star, a walking double double, who can create is own shot. When the Knicks played the Hawks in the playoffs, Mitch Robinson was out. Randle had to bring up the ball, facilitate, and score. And who was he playing with? Nerlins Noel... Reggie Bullock... Elfrid Payton... A sophomore RJ Barrett... Past Prime D. Rose When they eliminated the Cavs. Randle, on a surgically repaired but reinjured ankle still out-muscled their twin tower line-up. And now that we got Mikal, and resigned OG, when we have a complete team you want to trade him? Casuals. Kat might be a better player, but he's soft. Say what you want about Randle, but that dude is a dawg.

[@urbaindelva7869]

Another point that does not get mentioned is that Randle averaged the most minutes per game in the shortened 2020-21 season. I believe that fatigue played a factor in his gross performance in the postseason.

[@deevious316]

Julius is not an odd fit for the Knicks. As a matter of fact the team played best in January when OG came along and Randlein the lineup. He is a good 3pt shooter, an underrated passer and a f*cking rebound machine. He's the most familiar with Thibs' system. The biggest obstacle he and the team must face is dealing with his shoulder injury. Does it affect his ability to take contact in the post? Will it affect his shot? If not though Julius should be cohesive within the offense system just fine. As far as the cryptic message is concerned, he's just trolling. If he's serious tho, NY needs to trade him ASAP.

[@bshaddo]

They just have more starting players than positions in the starting lineup. So do the reigning champions. He just needs to play 30 minutes off the bench and close out games.

[@drewp839]

Go look at the offense of the Knicks with and without him, he clearly makes the team way better. This narrative is dumb, if u watch Knicks basketball you will understand the void of the team without him. If you think you should trade him for a better player, yeah, but he’s not a bad fit.

I don’t think he saying it’s a “bad” fit , more of there is kinda no point in having him because of all the other forwards hince “the odd man out”

[@BetterDialLyle]

@@DeloFFFthere is a point in having him when he’s a far better shot creator than everyone on the team not named Brunson. His playoff numbers, which may not seem as atrocious if we factor in that horrendous 2021 supporting cast, are pretty bad so far but in the regular season there’s really no doubting what he consistently provides and that’s top tier secondary scoring. The Knicks are far better off going at Boston with a playoff-questionable top tier 2nd option than going at them with Brunson’s 2nd option being a guy who originally made his name on being a 3rd option DPOY candidate.

[@DeloFFF]

@@BetterDialLyle tbh I agree and disagree with certain points. He definitely isn’t the best shot creator on the team let’s get that out the way. In MY opinion I feel that Bridges is a better version of what you are looking for from Randle. Better defensively as well. I can agree that the team he during his playoff runs weren’t the best but be honest , he was playing selfishly and terribly it wasn’t lack of help. It’s a reason why he was getting booed out of the arena. Just let Brunson lead the team, far better team leader. All that OLD regular season play was nice while it lasted but when it comes down to when it matters most. he is definitely the odd man out. I would like to see a couple games with him on this roster first though I can say that.

[@DeloFFF]

@@BetterDialLyle like I’m not saying he a bad player or wouldn’t fit per say. It’s just on this new knicks team if anyone is gone it would most likely be Randle …. That’s what I think Rusty was trying to say and that’s my opinion as well

[@Mr.Sax.]

About players making way more money today than in the past: Bill Russell: "I'm very happy for them because in my time we fought a lot so that players could live well from their craft." Shaq: "Rudy, Money, Rudy. Bad, bad, bad." *Bill Russell said something like that during an interview. It's on the documentary "Mr. Russell's House"

[@azagoren235]

I think Jamal's contract was Denver showing that they want him to be a lifer, as it's a given they'll retire his jersey for the chip and his off court contributions to the city, all star or not. Now he has to try to stay healthy and play good enough that the contract isn't a bad decision

[@shorewall]

I think they had little choice. If they let him go, they get nothing back. If they trade him, teams aren't gonna offer much because of the reason they are trading him. So they really just have to hope that he gets healthy and can ball out like he did in 2023.

[@RodrigoJovino9]

My hot take around Randle would be nicknaming him undersized center Jordan Clarkson But having better players around him, along with a PG that sets him for success (as someone that will choose his shots instead of him) results in a better player than he as a main PF.

[@zacblair9854]

I think a few interesting trades for Randle would be; Zach Lavigne to be a sparkplug 6th man, zubac from the clippers to replace ihart, DeAndre ayton if they think they can get him working hard, or something like mpj or kuzma if you can swing any picks for them

[@bishopszmyd3099]

You should make a video saying what it would take for every team to win a championship next season. EX: for the clippers, James harden to go back to being an MVP type player, Kawhi stays healthy and role players step up. Obviously it’s hypothetical for a lot of teams but still fun idea

[@doginaboat3756]

re Randle: he's (hopefully) joking, the truth shall come to light is referencing Porzingis's post after being traded to Dallas, MSG very very obviously has Randle jerseys on sale as for his fit, there's no upgrade for him at the 4 that's remotely attainable, we're 12-1 when he, Brunson, and OG play. his gravity and playmaking is such a fundamental aspect to what makes the squad work and how we find the open guy. he fits fine

Randle has been the odd man out most of his career. He just feels like a guy who would have fit better entering the league a decade earlier.

[@EpsilonKeyXIV]

It's so frustrating hearing people say that Randle won't fit when they weren't watching the tear we were on before the injuries started piling up. Part of the reason why Julius was even taking all of those mid-range pull-ups and threes were because RJ (as much as I loved him on the team) operated in the same spaces that he did. Even then, last year he stopped majority of those shots, played more bully-ball and, most-importantly, ALLOWED Jalen to play off-ball. People don't realize how elite JB was off the catch & shoot threes, especially after the OG trade. Julius will fit fine, the biggest concern right now is Center depth.

I still say the deal to make is Julius for PJ Washington & Gafford. Knicks get another rotational wing who’s good on both sides, and insurance/backup for Mitchell Robinson. Mavs get another scorer, a starting PF, which is clearly their weakest position, on the assumption Klay is starting at the 3.

Older players are mad about the money newer player are getting from NBA contracts because they feel the NBA cheated them by making billions off them and giving them what was essentially pocket change . Don’t forget they had to fight for what they get paid today, and it’s still not proportionate to what the NBA brings in. I don’t fault the new players for getting what they deserved, I fault the NBA for having to be fought with for decades to start giving players a fair slice of the pie. Also pretty sure Shaq made more money from endorsements and post NBA TV contracts than he did solely from NBA contracts. So while he does have a lot of money, players who weren’t as famous but were fringe all stars never saw that kind of money. You even have guys from the 90s that went broke already. Obviously a lot of that was due to not managing money correctly, but a player who plays in a league like the NBA that brings in that much money for 6-10 years should be set for life.

Randle makes a little less than KAT, actually significantly less.

Horacio Llamas had a job in the NBA just to foul him. Like I’m not a Gobert stan be he low key would’ve cooked in that post MJ NBA he gets so much hate it’s just weird at this point.

Shaq did not play against "the stiffest, doofyest bigs in NBA history." Idk where you got that from. Which era are you talking about?

[@Supadupasebas]

@@urbaindelva7869 after Olajuwon, Ewing, and Robinson declined and retired which is before Dwight Howard became the best center in the league it’s not an era but it was a substantial amount of years after the lockout. Like just lookup the starting bigs for those teams it really bad imo.

Can someone please explain why Julius gets a bonus for “showing up in the regular season/falling off in the postseason” when routinely people get ranked lower for the inverse? When being a big contributor in the playoffs is unquestionably more important? Just doesn’t make any sense. I don’t care about the knicks or Julius, just seems like a terrible reason to back him…

Rusty ngl I get the vibe that you’re prettttty liberal

The only thing more annoying than Rudy Gobert is Rudy Gobert when he’s right.

[@urbaindelva7869]

How is Rudy annoying? He barely does or says anything to be annoying.

@@urbaindelva7869 That superspreader press conference in 2020 comes to mind. Ask Donovan Mitchell how much he likes Patient Zero.

[@bshaddo]

And then they put this disease vector in the same room as KAT. I bet that was fun for him.

Randle has never been healthy in the playoffs so we have never seen a healthy randle in the playoffs

Totally agree about Shaq, I've thought this for a while. I think Shaq may be a vulnerable narcissist. He tells stories about how his dad treated him and how he grew up. I think that led to it. So many examples like they way he's treated Bill Walton, Donovan Mitchell, Jokic after he won his 3rd MVP, Gobert, Charles Barkley at times. I also think Lebron is a grandiose narcissist. You look at all the bold faced lies he tells to make himself seem like superman. And (probably) taking PEDs and lying about that. And how he calls himself the king and the chosen one. How he has been treated has led to that too. That's just my theory.

Julius Randle is a BUM - Mike Ryan

[@benjaminbremer8427]

Okay, pump the breaks on the shaq hate lol.. I think hes tough on these players because he grew up in the gen where you would be insulted for being soft on the court and shaq is competitive.. has he made things personal? absolutely but i think he just wants to see the best centers rise up. He's done a lot for the black/poor community, he buys a bunch of kids Christmas gifts every year, he by all accounts is great to work for and with(outside of basketball) , and hes done alot for the victims of the plane crash and for shootings.. i dont know how someone like that can be a db*g

[@aricrudd6579]

Not only are you wrong about why he constantly insults modern centers, being charitable doesn’t make someone not a jerk. Shaq is a petty hater, plain and simple. The way he comports himself is honestly pathetic.
