Last game and this one we lost the lead with Young on the bench. Of course we’re going to lose like that

I hear you on this. I still think continuity is super important but I think even if we make it out of this series we are getting a reality check on how good some of our guys are.

I am glad you are waking up to this. Bullock, Burks, Noel are decent role players off the bench but not guys you commit to long contracts. Even Rose too.

It's gonna bite even harder when GSW gets Cade Cunningham with the first pick This FA is underwhelming and I don't see many other realistic avenues to improve.

Knicks should trade Julius and blow this up at this point.

Why?

1. His trade value right now is at its highest it will ever be

2. Obi would start at PF, develop and play very well

3. It would help us avoid returning to cap hell aa he’s a free agent after next year

Watching games, I see a vast difference in the level of talent we have, and what the better teams have.

Fools gold is what we had this year.

We're not one part away, and why many of us were hoping for a high lottery pick this year.

Atlanta got Trae Young, we got Kevin Knox who might be out of the league next year.

who exactly are we building our franchise with? RJ and a bunch of role players?

Obi showed nothing this year - unless not belonging in the league is something.

Frank is not going to be retained.

And then we have a bunch of role players that all exceeded expectations, and will probably not put up similar numbers again, especially if we resign them like some want.

So - next year we've got Randle, RJ, IQ, D Rose (8000 years old) and a half dozen Jerome James's.

Don’t blow it up. Build more.

More exciting is what this coaching staff was able to accomplish in one year. Don’t knock Randle cause teams swarm Randle. This is why guys like Lebron want super friends on their team - so it’s hurts more to swarm him.

Don’t blow it up. Build more.

Trading Randle isn’t “blowing it up” it’s a smart personnel move we would be selling high and the roster is still largely in tact
