@@MentalPistol This is also why Toppin leaking out so much, without consistent minutes and told to stand in a corner how can Obi generate any excitement ? Obi has to leak out a get some dunks.

[@Michael_Page]

😞 Thibs and Randle are going to keep the Knicks a 5-8 seed type team forever. Randle was obviously the one with more value on the market. Could have moved him for a big wing and put Obi in the starting lineup. Despite Randle's regression, his being a real power forward who can bang and space the floor while rebounding and getting 20ish points per game is something a lot of teams could use.

[@CrakaBakBlak]

He doesn't bang or space the floor. The Knicks and Knicks fans have a habit of overhyping players. Reminds me of the infatuation with Allan Houston and it never made sense then and not now with Randle.

[@Michael_Page]

@@CrakaBakBlak He was top 25 in the league in catch and shoot threes. He is physical in the paint. He's 18 and 10 on a good team as a 3rd option. Hits about average on catch and shoot 3s and free throws. There are teams that could use him. Why wouldn't the Wolves listen to a Randle+ for KAT swap? Alan Houston was before social media so i don't know how people felt about him. Knicks fans I knew valued Sprewell more. You don't think Houston was a good player?

[@CrakaBakBlak]

@Michael_Page All of those stats and my eyes tell me that he sucks. Just like Barrett. They're great if the Knicks are up or if they're losing. If the game is close and they need clutch points they both disappear. RJ will at least play D but he's a bust. His redeeming quality is he shows up to work with no drama. I remember fans being divided on Houston but most were cool with it. My problem was they gave him all of that money and he had one good year in Detroit. He got to the Knicks and did really average things. He would've been a great third option but to be #1 was ridiculous. Sprewell balled out. Houston also tied up money for a long time past his playing days. Good for him bad for fans and salary cap constraints.

[@jonbray2769]

Is that good enough 5-8 and get knocked out in the first or second round , that’s no different than finishing 9-12 is it , don’t get me wrong it makes the season a lot more gratifying when they make the playoffs but you want to make sure you have a competitive team that could win the whole thing

This is a heist for the Pacers,they got a guy who will avg. 18 and 8 this year and we got another collection of 2nd round picks..The Knicks are the kings of the second round picks and absolute shitty 1st round picks..Now we have an incompetent GM..I thought Rose was a patient man who makes the right move at the right time but this trade is compatible to the Porzingis trade and even worse..Im not a happy knick fan right now,I loved Obi and all they got for him was 2 2nd round picks??
