Fixed.. Truth. Statements are never accurate to protect players HIPPA rights.
This is malarky. HIPAA doesn't apply here. The Knicks are not a healthcare provider. Once they receive the information from the medical professionals they can release it however they want. HIPAA has never and will never apply to pro athletes.
This your opinion or do you cite the Collective bargaining agreement regarding disclosure? Im not talking about availabilty. Im talking about his right to privacy to disclose. Have we ever learned a player had surgery after the fact? Yep. As to Randle, we just learned today he is done for the season. When was it decided? Yesterday? Last week? Not to say its never disclosed, but when.
Also, notice when a player has been out for "Illness". Its sometimes just "non-covid related". Thats defined as "non of our business to know".
As for OG, he played, and the tendan inflamed. Mitch, he played and twisted his other ankle. Medical staff to blame? I don't know. Knicks been very healthy last few years.

Randle’s injury looked really bad when it happened. The next day they were like “maybe he’ll be back in 4 weeks”

Not even close to what happened. The Knicks did not say a thing until a few days passed after the trade deadline. Injury on January 27th. Trade Deadline was February 8th. After the trade, next day they disclosed the full nature of the injury and the hope he can return if surgery is not needed. Leon did not want to get fleeced at trade deadline any more than needed.
Its not that the medical staff "Flip flops" so much as what is made public and when. Lets not confuse what fans are informed of as the line of communication and judge if they are competent based on what we know.

The biggest factor in what kind of salary he gets is how much another team is willing to offer him.So far Detroit stands as the biggest threat with almost no forwards and 70 million in space. I'm not sure if OG at 30 million is a luxury they can afford; 30 missed games per year puts them squarely in the draft lottery with no hope of getting out. Tobias Harris is probably a better choice because they need volume scoring.
I disagree with the "what we gave up to get him" argument. RJ had a negative value contract and IQ was likely a goner in free agency. Ideally OG picks up his player option and gets a four year extension. For an injury prone guy, the contract years are probably more important.

There's gonna be a formula I think. OG gets his mins sprinkled for the first 3 quarters but then he plays at least a 10 min run if not the full quarter of the 4th to close the game. Turns up that defense an extra level.
This could could've played on one arm and been Ben Simmons on offense and added a ton of value - just playing D for the last 4-5 mins of a few of those close games we dropped. I'm not faulting him for not playing, but we can see how when it gets to the playoffs if he's banged up and can just tough it out even for a few stretches how it tips the balance for us.
I keep wondering if we traded for him knowing about the elbow. This clearly was a pre-existing injury that amped up after the 12-13 games. My guess is we wanted to make this trade any way to have the advantage of re-signing him. But in retrospect now I'm understanding the interest in Bruce Brown. In my head, I kept thinking why would we replicate Josh Hart instead of getting another ballhandler like Brogdon. Now I think we were thinking about OG being out for a stretch and how we actually could have used 2 Harts since he had to play 48 minutes a night. Obviously Brown instead of Burks/Bogey over that stretch would've given us an additional defender with some 3 ability to shoot 3's and the only other smallish wing in the NBA that can board with Josh.

I predict that Detroit uses their top 3 lotto pick to trade for KAT. Makes sense for both orgs. Minny on pace to be in luxury tax jail. They can instead move foreword with a blue-chip prospect on a rookie scale contract. They also have Naz Reid already on deck. They can net Conley's successor. Pistons can secure a proven stud who will fit with Cade, Duren, Ivey, Thompson, Stewart core.

Its logical and sets up Minny nice. How does the money work? Detroit has I assume space to absorb it all or a good portion? Only place shittier than Minny in the winter has to be Detroit, Milwaukee, Clev, then Chicago.

Oh wow, great idea
Can we all do the voodoo magic thing and make this happen so that the Knicks get their 1st next year or the year after?
