Smart. Give Mitch some rest and get a look at Precious at the 5.

I’m anxious every minute that Mitch is on the floor.

Hopefully Precious can become a contributor.

The only area we had some depth though.

This guy is compromised - he doesnt really want to drive or work mid range. Contrast to McConnell who killed us with his penetration. He made a few nice passes, but he played a very passive offensive game. Something to watch.

Let sleeping dog lie.

Knickes hired Thibs July 30th 2020. he never got to work out Obi. We hired Thibs when the bubble playoffs were going on in Orlando.
Obi was not the right player for knicks to draft. Shit happens. It was never a proper fit.
Randle had yet to play for Thibs. And it was his first Allstar season. Nobody knew this when Obi was drafted. I can't tell you what knicks were thinking but lets assume it was that OBI would challenge Randle at some point.

Contexts fellas. In time Thibs was on the hot seat and his method was not validated yet.

The process is Thibs and staff go the players that match the style this coach wants to play.
Gone is Obi, Frank, Trier, IQ, and RJ. They are good NBA talents but not for this coach to fully succeed.
I don't think the FO had total confidence this would happen but at some point they went all in and gave the team what was needed.
Without Randle and OG missing 6 weeks we still won 50 games.
We beat a very good Philly team with two bonafide All NBA players and the reigning MVP.

And some of you are whining about Obi? Offended by his dunk? That we lost our All NBA all-star PF and his back up?
Im not saying every thing is perfect in knick land but here we are up 1-0.

I don't know if we have enough to win the series but this blame/hindsight thing is really to make some fans feel better about themselves?

Plus the last thing this years team needed right now was the back office complaining about Obi's role and minutes heading into free agency.

It's easy to monday morning QB the Obi situation after Randle and Bogs both go out for the season. When guys are healthy there isn't even a role for him here.
