I’m not saying trade Randle for nothing. I actually think we may have a semi-realistic shot at getting the league’s best player
I see. So it's nothing personal, just business as usual. Simple math. You have to give to get ?

You mean a dude thats being paid a quarter of a billion dollars, and takes up damn near half your cap space..

Gallo never averaged what Randle is doing and Wood has only had a small sample size. If Randle averages 25 pts, 9-10 rbs, and 6-8 ast for this season and all of next season, then I think we would have to strongly consider resigning him and his value would be of a max type player. If Gordon Hayward can get max like money, then Randle would deserve similar money IF he keeps up the same averages for the next two years and IF the Knicks win with him at a decent pace.

If he resigns we’ll cry.
WE can’t just be happy this proved to be an excellent signing?
Celebrate Thibs fine tuned this guy?
IM not saying find Mills no bring him back or anything, but why we so darn weird about success.
Again, I offer if you take Randle and his production and put him in to the Trade for KP at this moment given KP’s history and lack of production, that god awful trade that featured Dennis does not look so bad. We used the cap space to sign Randle.
Remember we said it would take a few years to work itself out? We have Dallas pick. I don’t think its going to be lottery despite our worst thoughts for them but it allows us to make a pick, or even take a chance on a player BECAUSE we have muliple picks!
Randle is not the savior we crave. KP would not have saved us last season either.
Nalod not going to “Told you so” because this team has a long way to go but rather than set yourself on fire with self inflicted misery as some do, why not just chill and enjoy what good become of this team.
yes, this franchise has sucked and Phil and MIlls did some stupid things but they also did some good or did not burn it down. Mills might have tried but he was canned before he could. Thats ok too.
Randle is fulfilling his draft status. He fell victim to franchises that were building cap space and he benefited to land with a team that could utilize his talents. This is a good story. I think we all have doubts or not prepared to have though of him as a cornerstone piece to build with in the new era of Leon. I’m guessing Kenny Payne had him in Kentucky and perhaps this is a nice story if him adding value to Randles career.
Randle is a beast. He is 26. Maybe we should feel better about this.

You’re seriously trying to overthink acquiring Giannis?

I expect Randle's stats to level off to around 20-22 points, 9 rebounds, 3-4 assists, maybe 35% three point shooting. At 28 Randle does fit Hollinger's qualifications for having a fluke season. You're right about Wood, but I feel that you're leaving out the fact that Gallo gave you around 20 game with stellar level of a efficiency. What Randle is giving you shooting wise now is typical for Gallo. And Gallo has proven he can sustain it for multiple seasons. Randle isn't likely to maintain that pace. Plus, there has to be a market to help drive up Randle's price and we don't know how that is going to develop. I say try to trade now while the value is high and, especially, if Obi develops.

For what it is worth...Randle turned 26 about 5 weeks ago...Obi turns 23 in 2 months.
I'm one with lingering doubts about Obi...though I hope I'm wrong. If he develops like some think he can, perhaps you look to trade Randle, but if Thibs really has the magic touch with Randle, I can't see why we'd trade him unless we get a young established star in return.

Randle at 26 could be a cornerstone guy for the next 5+ years. He's playing like a building block guy. 2 way player who is multidimensional. This is what we want.

My bad. For some reason I thought he was 28. As for why'd you trade, can his value get any higher? Let's say he he takes a step backwards. Is that final version a guy you want to invest in long-term? Unfortunately, we won't know the answer in either scenario until it's too late.

One thing we know is Thibs loves him. Randle ignored all the negativity including the Mills press conference where he apologizes for signing Randle in the first place. Instead he comes into camp best shape ever and works with Thibs and staff to learn system and acclimate other guys.

True, but we potentially lose any opportunity to trade him at peak value. At the same time, the longer they wait to to extend him, the more leverage they lose in the event that Randle has truly ascended to Super Saiyan.

That's a good question. With Gianni's off the table, would Pat the rat circle in? Don't see the fit with Bam, but you never know. If Boston trades for Harden, would they want to take in Randle with that trade exception? You never who that team will be.

Trade him for what? Ideally we get guys who are ascending. IF that's the case here, you extend him now. You pay the guys who are ascending (contrast that to our typical MO where we a guy is descending and we pay him as if he will revert back to his former glory days)
BRIGGS wrote:WTF would we want to trade Randle? Right now we lucked into Randle---now keep him happy.
The question is if Randle is just got or if he's finally there. If he's finally ascended then we're in a good situation talent wise, but the question of his market value remains. Do we extend him more years? Maybe he decides to play the market? If Obi shows good improvement, maybe we flip him and keep Randle. If this is just a mirage, we risk not trading Randle if his value is at his highest.

you flip him if you have someone in the wings who is potentially already better. (other situations might apply to, e.g., if he wants out and you can get some value now versus letting him walk)
you don't flip him and create a hole, hoping the other guy develops or hoping you strike old in draft
