This right here.

Maybe. And maybe you just don't know anything about what was going on with him last year. First year baby. Maybe family issues, who the hell knows. Let's just hope he's over them, meds or no.

How does his contract suck?

3 yrs left on it fully guaranteed at about $94 million

Yes... and? What do you expect to get for that money instead?

Julius Randle signed a 4 year / $117,089,280 contract with the New York Knicks, including $106,444,800 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $29,272,320. In 2022-23, Randle will earn a base salary of $23,760,000.
In your mind, a small one, that must suck more.

Look over this list and then perhaps conjure up what makes that "suck" more or less.

Consider age, consider who is coming down on the list like Kevin Love, and who os moving up like Zion.
His salary goes up, but so will others.

No matter how good he's playing he always seems to find a way to : dibble into double teams and lose the ball, commit an unnecessary fowl, throw the ball away, blow a defensive assignment, etc. at the worse time of the game, usually giving the game away.

Randle killing chickens now too?

Perspective is key. Let's not leave out all the guys that missed a play/shot down the stretch in our losses. Including RJ, JB in the Memphis loss Do agree that Randle, and everyone else,can be better down the stretch if we are going to be a playoff team. I remember Starks driving me crazy with bonehead plays. Perspective made those plays tolerable because of his effort. Randle needs to keep sharing the ball, continue to not over dribble and work hard on defense. If he does, the occasional bonehead play may be tolerated. Doubt it though as some choose their own perspective.

But thats the old Randle.

The new Randle can stay, until Obi and RJ wakes up.

I also said trade Randle because it's a win win.

It's a win because we get to see Obi with starter or extended minutes.
It's also a win because we might become worst w/o Randle which gives us a higher draft position.

But for now, we good. Wait until after the Detroit game so I can overreact again.

Eh, he's a bum until proven otherwise. One game doesn't prove nuttin'. Now that Cam kid...

Nah, lol. I was saying Randall had problems last year and I hope he is getting over them. But it was obvious he had some type of problem and I hope he is dealing with it.

Shoot, for all we know he could have been forced to stop killing neighborhood cats. It does look like whatever it was it’s behind him. It was definitely something.

I always called it the moochie Norris deal.

Funny how the Rose deal probably swung the championship that season. Not sure SA would have won without Nazr.
