Adding a PG would help with Randle too. He’s was more efficient with Payton and rose last year. This year he had neither of them.

Depends on how you look at it. Elf only passed to Randle and completely ignored RJ. Of course Randle looked good. He got the ball all of the time so he had more chances to make good plays or screw up. Randle needs a PG though that would require him not going one on one and Randle has to accept that. I don’t have faith in that happening because I think Randle insists on being the primary ball handler. Hence, I don’t think a PG would save Randle.

Knicks are slowly moving away from that, you can see it happen. It's happening at a glacial pace but it is happening (harder to do without your PGs). I think one of the frustrations the Knicks team had with Kemba was just this point, they expected him to take control and he tried to fit in and deferred.

Lets be real, Randle comes off All NBA team and to a man anyone not think he might actually take it up a notch from there? We were giddy with elation that not only is he better than KP, but damn good and signed to a most reasonable contract extension!! Of course we give him the ball!!!!!

The thing with Kemba is legit, as is Evan not fitting in right away. Add in RJ comeUpence and you got chemistry issues. I'd rather we fix it then start anew with other issues.

All this post needs is a cartilage reference and a video of Zion using an inversion table while swallowing green tea fat burning pills.

Let Zion force his way here.

Eh ?

I would also trade Randle for Zion, if thats all it took (which I doubt). But NO doesn't have much leverage if Zion doesn't sign extension. NO can save face by getting something in return, vs nothing.

IQ and RJ are keepers though.

But we already showed how good we can be without Randle (eventhough it's only a small sample size). So trading for Zion is similar to removing Randle for nothing. If we can get Zion on the low (due to NO panicking or trying to get something or anything in return)....I would pull the trigger. Ticket sales alone is a plus, with him on the bench. Moving Randle is a positive for the team. Yes he's our best player, but this is addition by subtraction.
