Most frustrating Knick of my lifetime? Maybe.
Still, he was a class act, zero drama, and part of the reversal of fortune for the franchise.
Pre-migraine RJ was exciting, as well as last year's playoff RJ.
Good luck in Toronto RJ! Once a Knick, yada yada.
P.S. - May you never hit another layup in MSG. 
Good luck RJ. I will always remember that buzz beater to beat Boston lst year.
Very likeable, despite the flaws in his game. Hope he finds consistency in Toronto for 78 games a year.

Really most frustrating ? Knicks have a long string of frustrating players
Most durable player on the Knicks since being drafted, by far. Didnt shy away from contact either. For all RJ's shooting woes, he did leave with a legit dribble drive. Barrett could barely make a layup when he got here, without it rimming out.
RJ was a class act from start to finish, if anyone deserved to be traded back to their hometown, it was the "Maple Mamba".

Good list. Personally I had low/no expectations for them. RJ wins. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
RJ was a great part of our rebuild. He can still be that but for the Raptors now. Dangerous when penetrating the d, below average everywhere else. Most blocked player in the league at some point ( no I don't have the numbers to back that up) If he can improve from the 3, the free throws, the dishing off of drives he could be a star. He hasn't really showed it here with any consistency. Still lots of room to grow and good luck to RJ. OAKAAK
If the salary cap was more lenient he would have been perfect as a back up 4 and 3 for us. Very good player. Wish he could still be on the team paired with OG but it wasn't possible
Sad to see him go, but the Knicks seem all-in on Randle and Brunson as their first and second options. In that set up, RJ wasn’t an ideal pairing for either of those two, let alone both. Not enough playmaking nor shooting. He must well look like a star on a different team.

Haven't listened to thay one yet but if it was anything like Locked on Knicks it will be a shit on RJ podcast. Gets annoying when these guys can't temper bullshit and realize they can't just dump on a player for hours on end. We get it. Quickley is God and RJ shouldn't be in the league. I listened for an hour about how RJ did nothing to earn his spot.
The one podcast had Bill Simmons on and when he pointed out how Quick was schemed out in the playoffs it was brushed off yet RJ can't catch a break with these guys. Now 7 year vet OG is going to make a leap when these guys said year 5 RJ (at 3 years youger)is done. Then I think Simmons said at year 4 or 5 you kind of are what you are (I have heard that and used that argument before), but year 7 OG is gonna make that leap, you watch.

These podcasters are guys who never even interact with these players. They are the same as us just they have a microphone and a camera. They create a channel and people take them seriously and then they take themselves even more serious. Macri is a school teacher, dear me. RJ is a player and he had to talk crap about him, personally, why ? It's not like RJ killed someone like the former Nets player Williams. Man no wonder why players don't want to play in NYC

Macri always shit on him and if it is as bad as you say, I'm may unsubscribe too. I wanted to be a journalist in my younger years. Went to college for it. When you talk there has to be some balance. Especially sports because nothing is concrete and you can make advanced stats say anything you want. Shit, I just posted in the trade thread the other day where now that he is out of NY CBS sports posted a graphick with RJ in the same class as Tatum, Doncic, Lebron, and Durant at age 23...

I heard Macri's comments and, while he could've said it with more grace, he didn't lie. RJ has been more bad than good. While I was one of those actively pushing to trade him, the numbers don't lie. Still optimistic that RJ will get it together.

Thank you RJ for not being Zion or Ja who would have sunk this team.

And I am fine with fact. Macri had to apologize to Randle once because his dumbass got to personal then Randle blew up and Macri had to to apologize. You would think he would learn his lesson. I haven't heard them yet but I have a feeling they'll piss me off.
Sometimes I just think people are not fair to RJ because of the same reason they say he sucks. He was the #3 pick and their expectations weren't met. But I listened to Bill Simmons of all people defend RJ saying RJ adapted to the spot they put him in better then he ever thought possible because RJ's mentality and skillset is not a #3. He said he actually gave RJ alot of credit. It was on the Ringer trade reaction podcast.

I'm fine with RJ being traded. Many fans object to Macri speaking about RJ somehow deceiving Knicks fans by being articulate and expressing insincerity about being a Knick and things of that nature. That he was media savvy and fooling the fan base to loving him more then he deserved. Has he ever met RJ ? Don't all smart players try to get the fan base to love them ? How does that merit criticism from a podcaster ? What did RJ do to him personally ? Macri is really feeling himself. It's not Macris fault that some of his viewers think he knows stuff about the team or basketball cause he has a show like when people think Jeremy Cohen is a cap expert and repeat what he says and think they know stuff about the salary cap and repeat it. But I am not listening to that guy anymore. Like I don't listen to Raw Hebrew, another guy with a camera who is a expert. But you know what Hebrew doesn't speak badly about players personally or try to get into their heads. Tacky and classless of Macri
