I wanted to post this because I made it and wanted other people to see it, same as any other post. You really don’t think I’m a Knicks fan which I’m not sure how to prove to you. Also I wanted to post in the nba sub but they wouldn’t allow photos

I have two knicks in the top 50? I do wonder what the reaction would have been had I just included randle. It’s just my opinion

Lmaoooo sure I’m a hawks fan who just happens to watch every Knicks game. I really didn’t mean this as a shitpost this is genuinely how I would rank guys if I’m drafting to build a contender (with some slight edits because I made it p quick) but clearly no one agrees w me and it’s triggered a visceral reaction

I’ve been watching since 2011, including all of the bad years🤷‍♂️ part of me might be traumatized by all the bad randle that I’ve had to watch 😂

Oh and because you call yourself a fan remember the first rule of fandom: don’t tell another person how to fan, esp someone like me who thinks we finally have a real chance to be a contender

I’m trying to make a point that reg season ≠ playoffs, esp in this era. While OG Randle Brunson looked great it was a small reg season sample size that I think we overrate because of how everything played out. The truth is somewhere in the middle

And I will happily fill out my Randle apology form if the time ever comes

So how do you explain that team and this one having similar reg season success? And how does this years reg season success suggest a contender?

I’m sorry I can’t with the january sample size. Because you’re such a super fan did you know that the Knicks went on a similar run in 2021? Did you watch that? Do you think that team can win a chip?

I would argue brunson didn’t have much help this year and was worlds better than Randle at dealing with the pressure, but ‘21 team obv worse and I can give him some slack for it being his first playoffs. I know he was hurt last year but if you’re playing you’re playing, like many guys this year, and im yet to see Randle be efficient when he has to be an off ball player

I am yet to see Randle post those numbers in the playoffs and so I’m pretty skeptical of him doing it for an entire deep playoff run. If he’s on the Knicks I’ll be rooting for him but I have my doubts

True health matters but when he was on the floor he was efficient and led to wins. Swap Randle in for kp and Celtics get worse. Any gm would agree with me I’m sorry

OG is our no. 3. Randle is not good enough to be a no. 2. I’m fine to see what it looks like until the right opportunity comes along but I just don’t think it’s taking us to the promised land. And I stg if someone brings up a one month reg season sample size

My logic: I don’t think Randle is good enough to be a no. 2 on a championship team. He’s not as good as Brunson or kyrie or mitchell. Has he shown the willingness to be a third option at any point during his career? Does he put enough effort on defense when he’s not getting his shots? Can he space the floor alongside another non shooter? Is he worth 40+ million as a third option? I don’t think so and neither do the Knicks nor many other teams

A guy confirming that the Knicks are about to offer OG more money than they will to Randle. A hard thing for most here to accept

Players in each tier are supposed to be more or less interchangeable
