    Not sure hanging on to him is an option though.

    Be still my heart.

    Randle would ROCK with James.

    he’s under contract for two years. No need to rush. His value won’t drop barring a catastrophic injury. Get a good return now or hold

    Malcontents usually play below their potential and thus, their value drops.

    edit: And Russ strikes me as the type of guy who doesn't do well when he doesn't get his way.

    Helluva player who STILL has upside. No PG/crappy team/logjam at the 4 in NY distorted how good he is.

    As a Rocket he'd put up 25 and 12...with a lot less turnovers.

    I think the knicks are the only team we have leverage on and if we were going to get any team to meet our demands it would be them. Knicks can’t get a FA star to sign and a trade would be the only way to obtain one for a fanbase clamoring for a star. I don’t trust Bra for ****, think he’s just choosing the obvious likely trading partner. Hoping we can use NYK to start a bidding war but don’t see any other team giving up a lot. Guarantee Rafael Stone will not make a trade unless it’s viewed as a win. His first trade as GM and he knows this move is so important to the beginning of his career as GM and how we, the fanbase, will view him, moving forward.

    I know Russ has little value but it’s certainly more then just Randle!. Hopefully the 8th pick is involved so we can attach it to Gordon to get a legit good player in that deal

    I am posting in this thread because its slightly more sane than most of the others, at least this portion of it is.

    Conjecture about a point made doesn't equal agreement to it.

    I think it’ll be Randle with Wayne Ellington’s expiring deal hopefully the 8th pick. That might be the best asset as we can unload Gordon with that pick for a nice vet or other good pieces.

    Then ship Randle off to 3rd team IMO.

    It's the Knicks ability to take on salary AND their picks that are more important.

    If Russ hits MSG it’ll be for JR, BP & 2 futu1s or future 1 and ‘20 2. Of course that was messaged to me. From outer space.
