NFT: NBA Draft Lottery: The Rights to Wemby

Everyone Relax : 5/16/2023 7:00 pm
Do we have a frozen envelope type situation (Dallas or Chicago)? Does San Antonio begin its next dynasty? Which of these losers will win the rights to the biggest prospect since Lebron?!

Couldn't you say that about literally any player that a team is willing to trade?


Not when it comes to players attitudes like Randall's.

Dame turns 33 this summer so of course it makes perfect sense for them to retool with an aging star who hasn't suited up for more than 70 regular season games in 4 seasons. Sure, trade the 3rd overall pick for the chance to win 45-50 games next season & be the 5th or 6th seed in the West.
Heat take Game 1.

Jimmy does Jimmy things. Bam/Lowry do Bam/Lowry things - and by that I mean, they tried their best to break Jaylen Brown’s arm while scrambling for a loose ball, but he survived.
It sucks Riley left NYK

What he has built in Miami is incredible. It just sucks he couldn’t have built “Knicks culture”. Such a bummer.

And it was during the 4th quarter of the game. My feed cut off the entire ending.

Hope we don't see more of this with the Sunday ticket.

Jimmy is a bad dude. Just knows how to get it done.

Butler is the scariest player in the league come May. If the Rat was able to get Embiid down there, watch out.

Portland had put 3 up for sale for a vet..

Houston if they really want Harden will put 4 up for sale for a vet..

Rumors the Pacers are putting 7 up for sale for a vet


Just thinking out loud --let's say the Knicks love the top 3 players in this draft. You send Randle and picks back to Portland for pick 3. We then sign KP as a FA....would you?

Randle isn't toxic at all. He just isn't a perfect or legendary player.

The guy is a top 15 player in the NBA. Fact. Go through the top 20 list and you can find warts on just about every player on the list save for 3-4.

I would consider moving Randle but this myth from the fans is just utter nonsense. Everyone has a hot take on Randle. No one wants to allow for some middle ground.
I mean WTF is toxic?  
djm : 5/18/2023 2:24 pm : link
Stephon Marbury MIGHT have been toxic when he was a Knick. The team sucked and MArbs was cooky nutty and weird. Even then, toxic? Maybe.

Randle just helped his team make the playoffs 2-3 seasons and made the all NBA team in both those seasons. HE isn't the best player on a title team. THAT is not quite the same thing as toxic. HE did have a bad playoff game or two or three. And he didn't get back on D after complaining to the refs. Ok....AND? That still isn't toxic. That's a great player with flaws. Big difference.

Anyway, if the Knicks loved a player in this draft and could trade Randle, sign KP to fill that 4-5 spot I might think about it. Probably won't happen.

What likely happens is the Knicks trade one of IQ or Grimes along with Obi and picks for a star SG/SF.

Reason why I am slightly open to trading Randle is I think RJ can pickup a lot of the scoring if it were to happen.
What likely happens  
djm : 5/18/2023 2:26 pm : link
should read as what might happen.

I don't know if they trade IQ. I would think the Knicks love him. Grimes is another story but we're talking about a 2nd year player heading into year 3 and the guy plays awesome defense. His upside is all star player if he can get there.

Randle gets too much shit but hes not even close to top 15
What is toxic?  
Chris in Philly : 5/18/2023 7:54 pm : link
A toxic player can destroy team unity, undermine coaches, disrupt routines, and write checks his play can’t cash. The contribute to a loser mentality and a losing team. They’re a virus that can infect other teammates. They’re more trouble than they’re worth. A great player who is toxic is Kyrie. A shitty player who is toxic is Dillon Brooks.
Randle has a nice scoring skill set  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 5/18/2023 8:16 pm : link
in the regular season.

I’d take Sabonis over him. I think that’s the closest comp. Both got a bit exposed in these playoffs but are offensive studs at the PF position in the regular season.

Brunson is fantastic. What a great Knick. Trust me I’m not tryna shit on him. But his time of possession data is too high period. The Knicks need to create a more diverse offense with more Brunson off-ball play since he can also be good like that too.

Were going to win the lottery. Yeah I guess they're considered a small market team, but they're one of the best franchises in the modern day NBA. They make a lot more sense than Houston/Detroit/Charlotte/Portland.


Are you still doing Trident referrals?

All NBA 3rd team 2 of the last 3 seasons. That is the very epitome of top 15. Literally it's top 15.

HE's a top 20 player at the very very least. ANd he never gets hurt and when he does he comes back faster than anyone.

Davis
Butler
Embiid

Jaylen Brown

I like Randle but how can you argue he’s better than one of those guys?

Miami wins again.

Wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this series but I’m enjoying watching Boston lose. Celtics were up nine in the fourth when Grant Williams made the mistake of trash talking Butler.

Also add Lillard, Harden, Trae Young, Siakam to that list. Randle is borderline top 30
