Wasn't long ago that some media and fans were pushing for us to trade #1's, Randle, etc. for Westbrook and his stinky contract. Thank f@#king God.

I still want to trade Randle, but even I wouldn't do it for Westbrook. Glad he's pumping up that value tho. Could Randle bring us back a first-rounder?

We have higher standards, now...You don't just want to win, you want to win while doing the kind of things which will help you win against better competition.

“Higher Standards”? How is that? What part of losing do we like? I’m not the one who replaced damn near the whole front office? Did not cost me or any fan. How are we somehow more deserving? What “standard” did we as fans some how become entitled to?

Typical Knick fandom. Even when we win they are picky about it. May be because they also have to eat crow about the guys that are getting us the win?

Wow! Thibs defensive-coaching has Randle's Hero-ball winning games!
A helluva improvement in the last two games.
We have a 10 game schedule I already marked 2-8 at the start of the season, but after the Knicks two defensive game wins, i'm not sure, especially if Randle keep playing at a high team-ball role, and our team-defense get better each game. Plus im waiting to see a back-court of Frank & Quickley running the point & plays.

Frank was playing good D on Garland. We need him back in.

That is franks biggest contribution to a team. He makes it difficult for the opposing guards to score. He makes them very uncomfortable

He makes it easy for the coach to pull him (which he did) because he doesn't do enough other things.

Coach couldn't pull quickly because he's hitting 3's setting guys up, playing at a face pace, penetrating, defending.

A Frank that can hit threes at a >35% rate is a special player you really really want on your team. His defense last night was a marvel to behold. And I believe he will get there with the 3-point shooting.

Frank played a huge factor in last nights win with his defense.. he really made garland and sexton his bitch last night.

The great part is that we didn’t play very good we were sloppy and came out with the win... that something good teams can do is pull of wins even on off nights

Yeah, but like with Morris it would probably be a lower first round pick from a playoff team. If we're heading back to the lottery at the trade deadline maybe we do it. If we've made progress and we're sniffing .500, I think we keep him.

I would think 20 million in salary would be tough to take back from a good team wihout hurting their core. At some point we will have to trade him because we picked Obi. I hope we didn't draft him at 8 to be a 15 minute back up because the pick would look even worse

Nalod wrote:Randle is 26. Is he a all NBA star? No. But look at us trying to keep getting rid of him taking a first round pick is gong to be better with him. Maybe, maybe not.
Why not just enjoy his power and improved handle until OBI exceeds him.

It's the Knicks fan way. Dream about the future. And keep losing every year. I'll take being good now over looking at Briggs 40+ potential top 10 pick threads. Or Frank will kill it if we give him just one more chance threads. Cade will be nice but do Knick fans remember the several hundred other FA and drafts dreams? All that never came through. Why not keep good players? That's a new idea.

Knicks tank = 8th pick in the draft

Silver is never doing us any favors. I’m done trying to tank let’s at least be competitive this season
