In the NBA world, thats the first sign that a player is getting traded. Shame. I know some dont like him but I think he is a good player and is not being utilized properly. Anyway.

Where do you think he is headed? Who will be the new savior for the NY Knicks?

Part of the issue is Knicks fans viewing Randle as a savior. He's not. He's a very good player who elevated to lights out last year. In reality, he could be an excellent second or third option on many teams.

I don’t do Twitter. You saying he unfollowed knicks? Has he been active the last few weeks?
Has the knick twitter unfollowed him?
Randle would be wise to simply unplug like many athletes have off social media.
The vitriol spewed toward him the last few weeks is a burden and he should unplug.

Yes. Please excuse the typo.

I would imagine the Knicks unfollowing Randle would be much worse, lol.

But Yes…I agree, 100%. Athletes would fare much better if they were off social media. I would imagine that part of his issue is all the backlash he is receiving from fans. In any case, history has shown that a player unfollowing the organization he plays for, on twitter, is never a good sign.

Silly I know. Just trying to read the tea leaves here.

he didnt leave twitter... (or IG for that matter) he just unfollowed the Knicks.

As for being properly utilized he was given more shooters and more space to work with this year. If you think Randle is the guy you build your roster around you are not a good GM. He's a good player, played really hard, was a big part of a nice turnaround last year but this is not the guy you build your franchise around. That means if he cant gel with the other talent on your roster he becomes a piece you need to move. We are at that point.

I just looked and saw something that says Randle has informally requested a trade. Let’s hope we can get this done before he goes Ben Simmons on us

There is also the obligatory rumor generating “put his mansion on the market”!
somtimes they upgrade when they get big money. But thats not “juicy”!

Bottom line is I don’t see dumping his contract for cap space as there is little FA coming on the market.
Any value he has comes for free as he was a free agent.
I don’t have a the expectation that he need be last years randle to live up to the contract. He needs to stop forcing 3-4 shots per game, perhaps team needs to free him up for a few easier shots, avg 20 pts, and reduce his touches as playmaker. Not entirely. His abilty to penetrate is one reason we shot so well last year.

Please verify the source. It matters.
If this is the case, then there has been a major shift i future outlook and where the team is going. I’d be surprised how fast this all turned around. Thibs/Leon was a major champion of Randle and this is crazy turn on him and him on the knicks!

If Randle is traded it's further proof that the FO is on some CLOWN sht

They are looking to trade almost everyone they just signed, what exactly does that tell you.

Dysfunction is starting to enter the picture and that seems to follow THIBS where ever he coaches?

I googled nyv 98.5 steve hasselford and nothing comes up.
This is a site that provides gags and sees who runs with it.
Naturally 1248 bites the bait.

I wonder what kind of demands he has made? More money? He has just signed a shiny new contract. The ball? He is already the primary handler. Respect from the fans? The organization has no power over that.

Leaves only a demand for a coaching change.

Really, take a moment and look at Ballsack. Don’t worry, your in good company, Fox whose racist agenda loves to belittle Lebron got embarrassed by Ballstack by not doing any background.
While your not racist, your quick to rush to judgement and gullible. Its ok, nothing new here.

Do you think Randle would be of better service to this team, and himself? if he played closer to the basket? Especially considering that we have given him “more shooters” as you mentioned?

100%
He's a post bully ball player player but he sees himself as a point forward and he really isnt. His jump shot hasnt been good and his shot selection is also not good. He thinks he's a Kobe like ISO scorer (based on how he plays) and he just isnt.

His adjustments this year have NOT been good at all

The tweet is likely fake news based on the fact that it is coming from Ballsack
