This guy is that damn good. He might be better than Ja Morant

And we'll be exactly where we are now (if we're lucky) with no assets to build around him.

I don't think we would be. I don't think whoever wins the lottery is trading that pick, but look at what Dallas and Atlanta did - both ended up with a franchise talent. We ended up with Kevin Knox. If we had had the assets then, and the FO talent to be aware of NBA talent, we should have traded up.

If we can trade Julius, IQ & a bunch of draft picks and come away with a franchise talent like Luka or Trae Young, you do it.

...or you can end up with a Andrew Wiggins or a Marvin Bagley of a D'Angelo Russell. If the #1 pick is such a sure thing can't miss franchise player why would the other team even consider that deal?

Because it’s the timberwolves. They’re arguably the most dysfunctional franchise in the nba

Julius, IQ and 4 first round picks may be enough

That would be a lot to give up for an unproven rookie. That is why teams only trade up to top-3, when they already have a top 4-7 pick to offer. Otherwise, you end up giving up too much for the pick. Cade is good, but you don’t trade your #1 player, a promising rookie and 4 other picks for an unproven rookie, no matter how good that rookie might be.

Yup. I would trade Randle for the right return and I would even trade those 4 picks alone for Cade but that whole package is rough. He has his weaknesses too.

But yes.... I would really love Cade or Suggs to be on the Knicks.

Again, why would a team want picks 19 and 21 in this year's draft and two unknown draft picks in the future for the top pick in the 2021 draft? It's totally illogical not to mention it's simply a fan emotional reaction to Randle having a bad playoff series. A couple of weeks ago when Randle was balling these same people wanted to max him out. Geez I'm glad none of y'all have any say in personnel decisions.

Throw in Randle and IQ to sweeten the pot

Randle needs help. 3 games where he doesn’t carry this team and we’re dumping his ass? What The hell is going on.

How bout the Knicks kick ass tomorrow night and we go from there.
