Only if that gets him traded.

We wont get better with Rsndle as the second option.

Randle is good in that regular season game facing the pistons at home in January

He's a three quarter star, best as a third or fourth option. Depending on the roster. Almost 30, not going to change.

Time to trade Randle is now. Throw in IQ before we give him a stupid contract extension

Disagree on IQ, this has been the clip he has progressed since his rookie year. Confident he will figure things out.

Was a good wake up call for IQ about playoff bball, when you play an important role. He'll learn

He's a three quarter star, best as a third or fourth option. Depending on the roster. Almost 30, not going to change.

He is not even a good 3rd or 4th option because he has to play ISO making him option number 1. Plus his defense and effort drops him even lower. He is a good option to trade to another team.

Randle can only be a first option. He’s not an off ball player and his defense is mediocre at best. We have gone as far with him as we can go

I think that's why he'd do well as a super-sub for a contender. He can ISO to his heart's delight with a 2nd unit. I use to think the Suns would be perfect but they no longer have the assets or contracts after trading for Kevin Durant

Well the season was a major success in my book. Great job by the front office, the coach and the players. I am satisfied.

Was just thinking what could we get for Randle/Brunson but both killed value for 2nd straight playoffs.

No we won’t - fools gold and I fell for it. He’s dumb and dumber in 1 body.

See if Cuban is willing to do Randle for Kyrie straight up. I hate Kyrie but I’m done with Randle after these playoffs

Hell no to Kyrie, destroyer of teams.

We are just being thoroughly outplayed. Honestly, the difference in this series is coaching.


Miami is a championship team. Didn't they win one with this crew pretty much

Oh no, they are not. Not at all. But their coach can definitely make them play like one.

IQ looked bad in both playoff series. We have to either extend him or trade him this offseason or he’s a free agent after next season

Agreed. Frustrating series, but undoubtedly a successful season, especially compared to where we were last year. Only 1 team gets to finish the playoffs with a win...

The only way the Knicks have a chance is if they win big in NY and get into the Heat's heads; Butler can score 50, but if the Knicks can't stop Lowry, Vincent, Martin and Strus in the way that the heat have ripped the balls from IQ, Obi and Randle, then Game 5 is just a speedbump.

That it was. I've been a Knick-skeptic through the Dolan years but even I thought this team was Finals bound. Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce the right way though.

Play in. This is literally one of the greatest flips of a switch in sports history.

Rather go nowhere with Randle than go to hell with Kyrie.

But there are other options...

We win game 5 on Wednesday it’s not impossible we win game 6. We were in tonight’s game. If it bleeds we can kill it

If we can get a team friendly deal, I hope we extend IQ. Playoff performance should help keep his asking price from getting out of hand.

They were in the Finals 3 years ago with the same crew

Hopefully the Sixers also fall flat on their face and Embiid demands a trade. I think a talent like him could actually make us legit contenders.
