Can Julius Randle run the Forward position?

Seems like since he came to NY, he forgot how to play ball. Every move is bully ball style. That only works when you have the respect of the refs to get calls. The refs don't give us anything....

I just want him to be a solid post player, that demands double teams. Then pass out of the double. I'm sure he was doing this in NO. But it's something about these broadway lights that changes everybody's game.

no. He is playing the same. TWO big differences though.

1. Jrue Holiday

2. He is being asked to play a role he is not meant for and that's to be the "alpha" and carry a team. I think we can all agree he can't be that player and the fact that he is, shows how bad we are.

You know who would have been good for the Knicks Gallo.

Jeezuz...we still got Knick fans bending over for this dude in 2019?!

gtfoh.

I have no special affection for Danilo. But he is a damn good bball player. His problem is injuries. But he is a high quality 2-way player. He shouldn't be stuck on rebuilding teams.

I agree. He is good ball player but replace him with Randle and, I believe, we are still in the same position. We have some really good complimentary player but we need that "Superstar" to lead them.

Irving would have looked really good with this team.

You know why Gallo would have been a better pick up than Randle. Gallo shoots threes and he is a floor spacer so Mitchell Robinson and Barrett have more space to operate. He is smart and also a willing passer can bring the ball up court as well. And I brought over a winning player. This guy has won more than Melo who he was dealt for. He also fills the role of veteran presence.

So you want to bring in another forward for Fiz to experiment with at point guard lol Seriously, Gallo is a good player, but is he that much better than Morris? The underlying problem is that we brought in players that don't fit this coach's system, and I'm being kind when I use the word "system." Sure, bring in Gallo. Won't make much of difference unless you bring in Gianni's and Russell Westbrook too.

Morris doesn’t shoot 43-44% from three. Once again you guys are bit short sighted. He creates room for MR and Barrett to operate. MR is basically getting **** blocked by Randle’s presence. Gallo allows better p and r with Barrett and MR. Gallo would even work better with Morris and Taj. He made a lot more sense than Randle. Dude basically won everywhere he has been. But I get you guys and your apathy for past Knicks. Sometimes you have admit a mistake some associate Gallo and Melo together in the trade. You guys take it as a step backwards.

You talk about Gallo has if he was the one leading the Clippers the last two years. Remember what that roster looked like and who he was on the floor with. Not saying he didn't contribute but he wasn't their main option.

You put him on THIS ROSTER AS CONSTRUCTED, playing the role as the main offensive player on the team like Randle is, and things may not go as easy for him. I think you would agree that the game is different when teams are game planning for you.
Which is why we think replacing him with Randle is a wash. As good as Gallo may be, he is just another complimentary player.

No one said main anything if you read what I said I said Barrett and MR would have room to operate in space. With Randle you create congestion on the court and you get poor spacing. Anyways it’s just a thought probably won’t happen so it’s all moot.
