I'm not saying the Knicks would have gone there but he did leave money on the table when a team like Philly was drooling at the opportunity of stealing him away from the Knicks and had the cap to do it.

lol - no disrespect meant. I actually engage you a little more bluntly because I really appreciate your perspective and you know your stuff

(I'm also ****ing exhausted this week as my toddler is having problems breathing and my five year old has to get stitches and to put it into perspective, my wife and three nurses had to hold him down and could only do so after sedating him with way more stuff than I would've been comfortable approving)

In general, I think Randle is worth more than OG annually. Now, I prefer OG and value his contributions more than Randle's on this team tbh. That said Randle is good for 20/10/5 and he's the only one where Brunson can drop it off for someone else to do the creating

Lastly, I honestly don't care how much anyone on this team makes moving forward. Yeah I don't want any overpays but that is more about risk management. The bottom line is this is our team until contracts start to expire. I don't see how we add anyone outside of veteran minimum guys and draft picks. If Dolan is willing to post the luxury tax go gift it. Do with that in mind keep Randle and pay him because I don't know how you get his replacement on the roster

Well that sucks. Seems like all the bad stuff happens at the same time sometimes. I do miss those days though, it goes by to fast. I'm an empty nester as of this year. Kind of weird to hear someone say I know my stuff...my son would disagree with you 🤣. We talk Knicks all year round even though we live on opposite ends of the state now. We are definitely going to meet in the middle at a Kicks/Hornets game this season.

I kind of remember someone floating a number of 41/42M annually for Randle. That sounds about right to me although Randle could hold out for more. Randle is in a prove it year and I expect him to give 120% and make the argument he is a max player. Lets just hope he gets healthy and stays that way

Do we think Brock really makes tweets on the trade?

It’s fun to pretend 😂
