It's always interesting to see how other teams hardcore fans feel about a player once the honeymoon phase is over. Sounds a lot like I been saying about Randle for years. Feels good to get confirmation from other teams fans instead of constant excuses from his apologist. I will never be gaslit. I trust in my basketball IQ too much for that to happen.

The full Randle experience, we know it well

I liked him at the draft but heard his wife or GF is some sort of religious psycho. Hope the kid is getting help he needs and has the right people around him.
wait a minute, is this the guy that dropped in the draft because his girl groomed him since she was his babysitter and made him stop talking to his family? After the draft I never heard about him again.
Your Thinking of Kyle Filipowski.

So some other fans validate your view?
Other fans go on 10 games and now their opinion is etched in stone?
Randle was a multiple all star and twice all NBA. HE also had bad stretches. Nothing new.
I would imagine there were fans who hated KAT for a myriad of reasons. What about those fans?
Im a knick fan. Randle and DDV came as free agents and we turned them into KAT. If he can play like this for a few years its one of the greatest trades we ever did.
If Minny wins a chip this year, I think they will be fine. If they make the finals, they should be happy.
Fan base is not a validation. results are.
10 games in, Norman Powell is one of the 10 best players in the NBA. Patience!

OK, now that sounds familiar. Thanks!

I am not sure whats hard to understand. If an entirely new fanbase that was not connected to Randle before the trade offers the same exact scouting report that I did on Randle shows I was not biased in my assessment. I never said he was not an All-star or All-NBA so I have no idea why you brought that up. In my opinion, I offered an objective scouting report of his good and his bad. Other people who we know are not biased towards or against him since they did not care much about him until 10 games ago mirrored my opinion of him now that they had a closer look. If you can't see how that would validate my opinions of his game you might need to ask yourself if your the one biased in your opinion of his game because you just might be telling on yourself and not even noticing it.

Why are they comparing us to the Celts. We need to measure up to the best team in the East
The Cavs. 😈
Good to see Embiid getting his rest tonight. He played a stellar 26 minutes last night for first action. He looked slower than me in the over 50 league. Oh Paul George getting a night off too. Cavs look like number 13 tonight

Does everyone in that league fall over like a Embiid does all the time?

Trade demand coming sooner rather than later
Perhaps too early for draft regrets, but the one that seems to stick out right now is why did we take Pacome over Ryan Dunn. Pacome is raw/young and will take years in order for us to see who he is, but every expert was mocking Dunn to the Knicks and saw him as a fit with Thibs. Biggest question was whether he could contribute on offense or stick some 3's and right now he's hitting them at a representative clip. Already started 5 games for a contending, veteran Suns team. We need a big wing backup who can play D in the worst way right now and this seems like a missed opportunity. Ultimately we got a guy who was willing to take a 20% pay cut from slot with a ton of upside - that money and the long-term prospects make a ton of sense, but with a "win-now" type of roster, it looks like Dunn is one of the more immediate contributors in the class and a player that people were saying was a "Knicks" type player for months and months.
