IF you don't wanna use Obi as a small ball 5, then you use him as a big ball 3. Ultimately if he only will ever play behind Randle here, one of them has to get moved before both of their values dip too far. I already think we're likely to have to sell low on either guy.
Playing them together isn’t the best use of their skill sets though. It’s essentially just trying to cover the issue. The main issue is both are PFs who aren’t rim protectors and the Knicks have to eventually choose between them. Finding 10 mins for them together and saying “problem solved” might help them individually but I don’t see how it helps the team win games.

It's never ever going to happen with Thibs.

Or maybe playing them together will fuel a 4th q comeback

Comeback or heart attack
Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.
