The guy we should have kept is not Randle. Or Wood. More score first guys that would have just kept the ball out of Zion's hands.
The guy who could help this team is Kenrich Williams. I hated the Adams trade, but if we sent out Bledsoe instead of Hill and kept Williams, we would be much better. Or, just never traded for Adams at all and kept Kenrich. But HE is the one who got away IMO. Exactly what we need right now - a multi positional defender who is shooting 40% from 3 and who can rebound

I loved the Adams trade. just saying..
Just another Kiwi basking in the reflected glory of Steven Adams....bask bask...
I agree with you about Kenrich, though I think Randle would have been a relatively cheap, movable investment relative to what we got in Favors. Further, though I grew up in the era of big man basketball, and I do respect Adams' game, he is horrible fit on this team.
With 140 to 120 scores etc . Not many teams are playing good defense right now.
Had to see if Kenny Hustle was still in the league. Sure enough, he is still hustling. We got a square to put in a round hole (Adams), and a guy who has given up since getting paid (Bledsoe).
Man, we traded Jrue, and came away with boobie prizes (and not even the chest kind). Sure we got assets (Adams, Bledsoe, picks), but man, was it worth the cost?
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
At least Randle won't go down without a fight. This team gets hosed and just looks around lost.

It's unfathomable how Griffin rationalised all the explicit costs and opportunity costs used to get Adams
He's a pretty good player but at some point you have to ask yourself, am I super wildly overpaying for a guy who's not even really a needle mover
If the answer is even close to quite possibly, you don't go through with it
I swear, 95% of people on this board would realise how ********ing stupid it was
But he is an overrated player. Plays no defense
Another night, another mind-boggling stat line from Julius Randle.

He became just the fourth player in NBA history to tally:
40+ points with,
> 10 rebounds,
> 10 made FTs,
> 5 assists,
> 5 made 3PTs
Per @bball_ref, the other three players in this club are Harden, KD, Westbrook
To say this franchise never surrounded Anthony Davis with talent is just ignorant at this point.
Julius played well in his short time here as well.
Let?s do a check in today
Most Improved Player HAS to be a lock

What a season fro Julius Randle pic.twitter.com/pnrhppHTtz
He may get MVP too.

20 first half points and counting for @J30_RANDLE pic.twitter.com/yZ8B5tGJku
Was DeMarcus Cousins an MVP candidate in 2017-18 because he had that 40/20/10 game?
Is Westbrook an MVP candidate because he's averaging 24/13/12 over his last 23 games?
Gotta look at
A) Overall body of work on the season
B) Team success/impact
Jokic has been the MVP since about January and Julius Randle isn't even top 5 in candidacy.

Quit your hatred for Randle . Randle is a MVP candidate and that is fact!

Preach
Like I said Julius Randle is on the MVP CONVERSATION. He put a causal 40 piece wing dinner Lemon Pepper style with 11 rebounds and 6 assists with W! Btw the Knicks are currently on a 8 game winning streak! Carry the hell on...

If your argument is ''Kendrick Perkins agrees with me'' you may want to rethink your entire life.
