Come on man Taj is finished. This move makes no sense. The Knicks realize we need shooters right?

See graphic ^

Helpme put here...
Taj is 34. Range is 5 feet. Randle has a range of 3 feet and cant play defense.
Do you SEE a problem with those type of players in todays NBA?
And Your telling me that we waived LT, who was a 1 million dollar bench vet for a $10 million dollar bench vet who may break a hip in 2019??
And we dont sign a guy like Vonleh for pennies but sign Randle to 20 million?? So he can use his 20 million as we ride the season to the lottery?

Is this why the Knicks FO needed to publically apologize to their fans 3 hpurs into free agency?

They both bring interior scoring to offset Mitch's lack of experience. Im sure Perry would have loved to fulfill your wish list. Probably would have overpaid to do it. Next season is about the young core learning how to win. Perry found players to address some needs while giving himself the flexibility to upgrade the roster if an opportunity presents itself in the near future

Plan B is about staying with the rebuild, waiting for the right time to make a big move. Not make a big move just for the sake of giving the fans something to talk about, like past regimes.

Thank god we cleared Hardaway and Lee for Taj Gibson.

Fucking joke. Do people on here watch NBA basketball? These two guys are good for the 90s NBA. Taj I believe is old enough to have played in late 90s. Randles game has been passed by in modern NBA. Amells like Mills still infected by Uncle Phil disease.

Randle was a bust in LA because he had NO bball IQ or played any defense. Cant shoot from,outside.
Shit, just sign Vonleh for pennies. Randle goes to NO and with Davis out he gets to pad his numbers and dumb ass Knicks pay him $21M a year.

31 Million gone on these two? Good thing we gave up on KP, Kyrie and KD for theae two.

Cue the Knick fans used to losing noting the elustrious bright side of these 2. Fuck,,rather they resigned some of the young guys from last year and once again go for lottery. Instead the hand out 31 Million to be a lottery team??

Durant and Irving will be lucky if they are on the court at the same time. We would have to wait a year or more to find out. This was the future you wanted? Randle and Gibson wont be here beyond 2 years when free agency gets interesting again. Should we have maxed out Cousins instead?

Love how its so easy to claim they won't work out. Like I said on another thread. We were suppose to sign those two and finally be CLOSER to a chip. We didn't amd our cross town rival did. So if we won a chip in 2021, thats a problem?

Wait are we starting the Giannis in 21 talk already? Cant wait. We seem to have locked in every free agent available in the last 20 years.
Now I know what it must ne like to be a Jet amd Met fan. They always seem,to rationalize bad moves and losing.

Question for you...were you one of the posters excusing the KP trade as a good sacrifice in order to sign 2 max FAs? Specifically KD and KI. I know most did. So now that was bow a mistake.
But okay, lets wait amd see what happens.

All the disastrous investments on seriously injured players, and you want to go back Jack, do it again. Lets invite Isiah back, or Layden. Those are the kind of deals you want, right?

Exactly. You dont hand out a huge max deal just for the hell of it. Perry said we were rebuilding through the draft and free agency. The Durant injury changed plans and I dont blame them, that injury is scary. The two deals leave us with flexbility now and in the future but also help the 4 spot and Mitch. If the Nets wanna grab headlines again thats fine but im behind the plan. Ive wanted to rebuild since 2000

Your question is irrelevant. The facts changed. KD today is not the same KD at the time of the trade.

Plus I dont know why some say we "sacrificed" KP? The douchebag didnt want to be here. He said he would sign the QO unless we traded him. We shipped his ass outta here because he became a diva and his durability is a big question. Im happy we got assets for him

I like the Gibson signing at least from the perspective that he's the type of player that could help our young guys grow and learn how to play defense. I see him as a big man version of Jarrett Jack. And given his deep playoff experience, I think he offers more than a Lance Thomas (who incidentally, is one of the most injured role players I can remember on this team).

I can't really speak about his price tag. Seems like reasonable market value... though didn't a guy like Pau Gasol go for less in recent years?

Thomas was a 7.5mm player with $1m of guaranteed money. There is no such thing as a $1m bench vet. Vet min is $1.68mm.

Not sure Taj would be signed before the rest of the FA chips fall, but clearly we don’t know what the Knicks know.

You know I gonna spin wit it

Way too much money for what he'll provide. By at least double.
