Again, it's not just the poor play from Julius Randle that has infuriated Knicks fans.

Watch this clip from last night.

Randle sees Obi Toppin fall to the floor but refuses to help him up.

Can’t talk about being a leader and then act like that…

Once again, what is your point? You should know there is no way the Knicks will give up on Randle months after signing him to an extension? What would that say about them? What would they get in return? Or are you just going to continue to whine about how he has hurt your feelings and how if it was you(news flash it is not/never was), you would be acting so much better?

LONG LIST OF Assumptions!!

Funny how you help prove my point every time. Which is that you are just a disgruntled armchair fan that tries to make themselves out to be more than that.

Ron Baker should be the Knicks starting PG. Ron Fucking Baker. NEVER FORGET THAT TURD THAT DIDN'T QUITE STICK TO THE WALL.

And now Triple's quoting Jeff Van Gundy because it fills the narrative. A few years ago, JVG was a know-nothing talking head with little man issues. Now he's a player evaluator par excellance because he's decided to splash piss on Randle's head. And now we've apparently tossed the wisdom of the ages aside and "organic tanking" seems like a reasonable idea. What... the ... ****....?

Our best player may be a massive dickhead, but he's still the best player we have. Some fans can live with that. Others seem to have flashbacks of fat guys in hats in a bathrobe on TMZ. So lets do all sorts of cap space contractual yoga like some three time loser divorcee who's trying to get that muffin top under control so she can cougar her way back into the bar and end up being one of those bunnies bent over a pool table.

While we drool and whine over not having Alex Caruso and Duncan Robinson. Or Herro. I read Herro was a ****ing John Wick shooting assassin not that long ago.

Bro, this is classic ****. Lmao

I don't know if you have heard though but TiTi is a former pro athlete. He is also an expert on cap structure. Or maybe copy pasting **** from Sportstrac but expert none the less. Don't piss him off. He only graces us with his presence when he is not scouting for the next NFL HO Famer and going over Superbowl film for all the head coaches. Think you missed his smoking gun evidence on how Randle should be traded due to 446 minutes of +/- numbers in December. You heard it, like 9 while games? Check mate!! Unless you compare that to an entire 2020-21 season.

But seriously, do you think Ron is still available? Franky? Alex Caruso? No one believes me but each one of those could single handedly stop Embid, Tatum, Giannis, Durant and any other bum that thinks he can come close to their level of excellence.

Hofstra....Thank you. I thought it was just me. I don't get TiTi perspective on most of his post. I actually gave up trying.

Hofstra - not only do I know Triple is a former pro athlete, reigning capologist emperor, and NFL insider, but he also wears nothing but custom tailored shirts that make him look even more dazzlingly handsome than he actually is. Without photoshop!

Nonetheless, and although it does take a ****-load of work to go through all the needlessly cut and pasted articles and statistical analyses, he has mother lodes of gold hidden amongst the self-important tripe. Like everything else he trumpets, you have to work tirelessly like a ****ing professional or just GTFO.

His Obi rants from last season were worth the price of admission here. Which usually ends up being swallowing martin's leftist agenda and reading everyone else's ****. Although martin seems to have moved slightly more to center since his main squeeze went all Wally-ho on him.

TiTi is our Uncle Rico! If I may quote some of Titi's previous posts:

Titi flexing his football prowess = "How much you wanna make a bet that I can throw a football over them mountains?"
Titi on his foresight = "If the Knicks would have listened to me we would be world champions. No doubt.. No doubt in my mind"
Titi pondering how things could have been different = "You better believe things would have been different. I would have gone pro, in a heart beat. I would be making millions of dollars, living in a big ole mansion somewhere you know soaking it up in a hot tub with my soul mate"
Titi on best way to be a UK wannabee GM = "You ever come across anything like time travel?"

Same issue applies, yet again.

Does anyone here want the Knicks young players, the guys on the roster now and the incoming draftees in the near future draft classes, to be exposed to Randle's toxic lazy selfish attitude and current style of insulting zero effort on the court?

How do you help to develop young players with this kind of potential 30 million dollar a year anchor around the neck of this team?

This is no "stint" Randle's first year as a Knick was horrible. His 2nd year was in a bunch of empty gyms during a worldwide pandemic in a contract year. This third year, coming to a close, is more in line with his first horrible year than his 2nd much better year. Three seasons on this team and it's clear the kind of player the franchise is going to get for the next four seasons. Lazy. Bad decision maker. Low BBIQ. Makes the same mistakes over and over again. Toxic behavior. Selfish. Horrible repugnant example for younger players and incoming draftees.

You can't make this **** up! Will cherish this. Lmao

Uncle Rico/Titi stroking some dudes tweet but fails to check his others. Guess 23 hrs. On the interwebs is not enough for Uncle Rico/TiTi.

29 Julius Randle New York Knicks PF 16.93


https://www.nba.com/stats/players/advanced/?sort=EFG_PCT&dir=-1&CF=MIN*GE*15&SeasonType=Regular%20Season


422 Julius Randle EFG% 46.9

Out of all NBA players, takes the 29th most overall shots per game. Has the EFG% that ranks him 422nd. A couple of snippets don't highlight how bad and how toxic that Julius Randle has been for the Knicks this season.

And it's not just counting stats, sometimes a player will slump or those shots won't fall, however it's more than that, it's the lazy selfish toxic anti-team bull**** attitude.

Of course other teams swarm on Julius Randle, it's not because he's such a lethal offensive threat, it's just that they know he won't pass the ball even when it's the common sense decision and that he will make a low BBIQ play that will result in a turnover or a forced bad shot that freezes out and demoralizes his teammates. And if he misses, and doesn't get the call he wants, he will cry and scream at the refs while, yet again, refusing to hustle back on defense.

One or two instances in snippets don't cover the toxicity of his behavior this season.

The same question arises, again and again, does anyone here, with full understanding that this team will need to draft and draft well and put those rookies in a position to develop and get better, want Julius Randle and his stupid lazy selfish bull**** anywhere near those draftees?

It's not just the poison this year, it's the potential poison for the next FOUR SEASONS AT 30 MILLION A SEASON to risk THIS SAME DUMB BALLHOG SHIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

It's all about the roles!
