And Ingram too obviously, but Randle has been a monster this season.

It's nice to see the Knicks do well and Thibs seems like a good guy. I haven't followed them closely. I wonder if Thibs is still giving his starters heavy minutes.

Randle leads the league at 37.4mpg, which has been about average for the league leader the past few seasons. RJ Barrett's 18th at 34.8.

What was her name? The angry girl that used to tell everyone how wrong their basketball opinions were. She was the one with that avatar of the emo girl and some think it was really her.

The criticism of Thibs has always been he wears out his starters and the reason his teams excel at times is that the starters get so much burn.

Was she Canadian? There was a female poster on the old board who loved the Knicks and hated the Heat, probably because she saw them as their main rivals.

Arguably the best Knick since Ewing, and no I ain’t forgot about Melo’s bitch ass.

Remember how that halfwit went on and on about how Randle's "bully ball" wouldn't translate to the NBA? And the sheer arrogance of his tone?

And Randle is still just 26. If his game takes one more step up he'll be jockeying in the MVP conversation. 25/10/6 and 42% from distance, leading a revived team that had been dead for 20 years? Incredible.

God damn it’s depressing to think about.

Can’t forget about Clarkson and Josh Hart too. Both 6th MOY candidates this year til Hart got hurt.

And all so that we could snipe 1, maybe 2 quick rings with LeFag before he and AD decline or leave, sending us straight back to the cellar... could have had 10+ years of fun with a group of homegrown boys instead. That's what happens when you have a woman leading your organization, you miss the forest for the trees.

You talking about Witness Rondo. And he/she copied and pasted basketball takes from NBA writers pretending it was their own. Almost always incorrect takes too.

I definitely wish we hadn't traded those boys i might still watch the NBA, but I cant stand LeBron

That team would struggle to make the playoffs.

Ball and Ingram can't even play .500 ball alongside Zion. Russell is a journeyman wasting away in Minny now. And Kuzma is hot garbage.

Oh, the sweet irony of you weighing in here.

How vividly I remember you swinging from Jabari Parker's nuts before that draft and defending the Celtics drafting Smart over Randle :laugh3:

I don't recall hyping Parker that much.....but even if I had, it doesn't change the fact that the team you listed would not be particularly competitive. You think Ball and Ingram will magically win more frequently alongside Randle instead of Zion? lol

Hes 100% right. They would struggle to make the playoffs. Lakers have the dumbest most delusional fan base in all of sports. Homer

I literally didn't say anything but predict that he would be a Laker and the Lakers had a genuine chance at a top-3 pick so how is that funny?

I just remember hoping Embiid would slip because of his injury issues but also defending Randle against WitnessRondo and WailuaFC in the lead up to that draft. My musings on Randle before that draft would probably look prophetic right now, although even I didn't think he'd be this good. And he wasn't a Laker yet so it wasn't blind homerism.
