Where do you think he is headed? Who will be the new savior for the NY Knicks?

I don’t do Twitter. You saying he unfollowed knicks? Has he been active the last few weeks?
Has the knick twitter unfollowed him?
Randle would be wise to simply unplug like many athletes have off social media.
The vitriol spewed toward him the last few weeks is a burden and he should unplug.

As for being properly utilized he was given more shooters and more space to work with this year. If you think Randle is the guy you build your roster around you are not a good GM. He's a good player, played really hard, was a big part of a nice turnaround last year but this is not the guy you build your franchise around. That means if he cant gel with the other talent on your roster he becomes a piece you need to move. We are at that point.

Yes. Please excuse the typo.

I would imagine the Knicks unfollowing Randle would be much worse, lol.

But Yes…I agree, 100%. Athletes would fare much better if they were off social media. I would imagine that part of his issue is all the backlash he is receiving from fans. In any case, history has shown that a player unfollowing the organization he plays for, on twitter, is never a good sign.

Silly I know. Just trying to read the tea leaves here.

There is also the obligatory rumor generating “put his mansion on the market”!
somtimes they upgrade when they get big money. But thats not “juicy”!

Bottom line is I don’t see dumping his contract for cap space as there is little FA coming on the market.
Any value he has comes for free as he was a free agent.
I don’t have a the expectation that he need be last years randle to live up to the contract. He needs to stop forcing 3-4 shots per game, perhaps team needs to free him up for a few easier shots, avg 20 pts, and reduce his touches as playmaker. Not entirely. His abilty to penetrate is one reason we shot so well last year.

he didnt leave twitter... (or IG for that matter) he just unfollowed the Knicks.

If Randle is traded it's further proof that the FO is on some CLOWN sht

They are looking to trade almost everyone they just signed, what exactly does that tell you.

Dysfunction is starting to enter the picture and that seems to follow THIBS where ever he coaches?

I wonder what kind of demands he has made? More money? He has just signed a shiny new contract. The ball? He is already the primary handler. Respect from the fans? The organization has no power over that.

Leaves only a demand for a coaching change.

Really, take a moment and look at Ballsack. Don’t worry, your in good company, Fox whose racist agenda loves to belittle Lebron got embarrassed by Ballstack by not doing any background.
While your not racist, your quick to rush to judgement and gullible. Its ok, nothing new here.

Do you think Randle would be of better service to this team, and himself? if he played closer to the basket? Especially considering that we have given him “more shooters” as you mentioned?

His adjustments this year have NOT been good at all
