We saw Randle buy in more on the defensive end last year when OG came, now with Mikal I think he can improve again on that end

I think its worth it to try and see how they work. Can always try something at the deadline or in the offseason.

If they keep Hartenstein I think they win the East. NBA players always talk about how hard it is to go back to back after having that sense of accomplishment and just a little less drive to win. Meanwhile the Knicks are as hungry as it gets and built almost perfectly. They also just drafted Tyler Kolek. This is gonna get interesting but if I had to bet I’d honestly put my money on the Knicks to win the East. They almost made the ECF with players starting who will now be on their bench and that’s wild

RJ Barrett was chucking 3s desperately and every team had 3 players shoulder checking randle every time he set foot in the paint cause our team couldn't hit the side of a barn with a buckshot. It was a very dark time. That was not the norm for Thibbs. We have a solid 8 man rotation of high quality players any contending team would want. It's night and day from those circumstances.

Randle was a much better defender after OG came to the Knicks. I’d also argue his strength on that end is his strength in general. He won’t get pushed around on that end, it’s all about getting him to buy in

Long time Phoenix fan here. Great breakdown on Mikal - he is best suited as a 3 and D specialist, not the primary playmaker like the Nets were doing. When he gets to play off the ball he can focus more on backdoor cuts which he is good at also; he's basically the perfect 3 and D wing.

[@DirectionlessStudent]

On point. Mikal will thrive with the Knicks next year, because the Knicks don't need him to be their #1 or even #2 option on offense and that's why they wanted him so much -- he perfectly fills a key role for them as a perimeter defender, cutter, and stretcher of opposing defenses. The only thing that worries me is the loss of IHart -- I think he was more valuable last season than many fans realize.
