Randles Injury made people forget that the knicks were blowing out everybody. Randle is the guy that will bully the opponents and get them in foul trouble.
I also think people are overlooking how big of a difference maker OG Anunoby is on defense. Plus he can score. We always hype up offensive superstars, but OG anunoby is a defensive superstar.
My brother you won me over. I’m a football fan, NFL , college I’m in, any time any school. My dealings with the NBA only consist of a few team. Other then that I’m not interested (I do love college, basketball ) but your discourse here is on such a higher level then even multimillion dollar talking heads. Your just on a different level. I look forward to what else you have to say about basketball. You seem extremely knowledgeable and unbiased (refreshing energy). My biggest concern with the Knicks roster right now is the center position. 2nd is situational offense of Tibbs ( he should bring in someone akin to an offensive coordinator) and of course Thibbs rotations during the season. In regards to playing time and bench development.
@@Mangaki86 Yo, thanks for the comment and feedback bro! I really appreciate that. After Kobe I retired my fandom so now I just appreciate everyone. Helps me not be too emotionally attached lol. I have a Knicks fan friend who voiced those EXACT concerns to me. I still like Mitchell Robinson but losing Hartenstein is definitely a blow. Man, I’ve always said that about Thibs about an offensive coordinator type of guy!
Basketball Society I think you are so right about the knicks getting Mikal Bridges we don't need a star Mikal Bridges fits I'm so glad we didn't go after a old age super star.GO KNICKS
Love the deal. The Knicks truly made themselves in the mirror of the Celtics, being able to play 5 out with Julius Randle playing small ball 5. They’ll need Julius, Mitchell Robinson and whoever the backup big man is to get boards and defend the paint.
Both teams have a player the other team can’t guard in Julius for the Knicks and Porzingis for the Celtics. Should be a fun three way battle between those two teams and the Sixers.
I really think everyone on the roster is going to buy in/give that support. Randle is going to evolve being as he no longer has to do everything and has other guys around him that could score.
@@billyblanko8504as a singular player? No.but add him to a team like the Knicks who are a boarder line title contender then yes he makes the Knicks a real threat to win it all.
Thibs is old school and he has made strides but I wasn't sure until last year that he was the guy. But the way he managed the line ups through all the injuries to stay competitive made me a believer he was in his coaching bag
Totally disagree. All he did last year was do what he has done every season he's coached. Push the team to it's limits in the REGULAR SEASON and fail in the playoffs. Johnnie Bryant is sitting there on the bench. He's the future. If not, it's time to call Jay Wright
I disagree. I believe Jalen brunson is a super star. Dude averaged 28.7ppg and almost 7 assits while pulling down 3.6 rebs which is good for his size. I dont understand why ppl are so hesitant to Brunson a super star.
Agreed! He was top 5 in MVP voting and All-NBA 2nd team meaning he is at least one of the top 10 players in the league. After seeing him handle all the offensive load on a deep playoff team and score no matter what defense was thrown at him, I have no doubt he is a superstar 🫡
Every fanbase of every team in every sport has this conversation about playing time when a team is overloaded with talent at a position to start the year..I can't recall a single instance where the same problem existed at the end of the campaign. One would think the collective would be wise to this by now...but the offseason is starved for talking points i guess.🤷♂
@@Unconsciouzone wouldn’t say this team is “overloaded” with talent at any position… they have legit talent at every position and a balanced roster… to me the challenge is more about the system which is why I think Thibs has his work cut out for him
U TALKIN MY LINGÒ ABT TIBBS! GOOD THING ABT HIM" IS HIS ADJUSTMENT ON THE CURVE HE ĹEARNS AS HE (GOES) TEACHES REAL TALANT IN ABUNDANCE ITS ALL OON HIM IF TEAM 80% HEALTHY.,.WE GÒT HORSES..FIRST 3 MTS USE EVERY BODY SEE WHO NEEDS WÒRK.IF THIS APPROACH STUTTERS,MMMMM.NEW COACH. A KEEPER😂😂😅
I'm a Knicks fan since 1972 and I think I can make a statement about this team without the recency bias blinders alot of the fan base has and I'm 99.9 percent positive they will NEVER get to a finals with Thibs. He's reached his ceiling. He's a culture changer and that's it. The Knicks need to wake up and realize he can take teams only so far. You have a 20 year resume to back that up. He needs to go and they need to reach out to Jay Wright.
Oh wow! Thanks for the comment and insight as a longtime fan! That's interesting, some people seem to believe in Thibs. I really do wonder if he'll be able to maximize what they have now.
Only way I’d trade Randle is if he proves by the deadline that he’s not willing to buy in. I don’t see that happening. I saw JR playing great team ball last year before the injury and to me there’s no reason to expect he’s not first about being part of a winning group and this is going to be one, up there at the top of the east.
