You empower Julius by getting him to give and go, pass and pick away, instead of face up and spin. This has not been confusing to anyone for a long time. It also has not gotten done.

Is he ready for a master class in franchise cornerstoning? He could certainly use one. There is a lot to build on there.

What are Tom and Leon wanting to accomplish in the remaining time this team is together this season?

Pacino to Spacey in Glengarry -

"YOU CHILD."

Carlos to ChamAAco on Escape from Elba-

"YOU SILLY OLD FART."

Seems like it's 50/50 vis a vis JR's future as a Knick. 

If a deal came along that made sense, sure...

But at this juncture in our team's evolutiuon, the team would be dealing from weakness, not strength. 

There IS a lot to build on.

We have a lot of ending contracts next season.  We have a lot of reshuffling to do.  CHALLENGING. 

Burks, Taj and maybe [MAYBE] Rose are keepers.  Hard to see Thibs going forward without his guys. 

What is the likelihood we could get teams to take the likes of Noel or Kemba off of our hands.  We'd have to take back contracts, so...a wash. 

As per Facil's trade scenario, Fournier has value, for sure.  A keeper or trade bait?  He has improved through the course of this season. 

But the Rockets? 

Fournier? 

PG Kevin Porter is 21.

SG Jalen Green is 20. 

On Wednesday night against the Kings, Porter in 38 minutes notched 30-12-12, while Green was 32-2-2 in 37 minutes. 

Fournier was 10-16, 6-8 from trey for, 30-4-1 in 35 minutes.

Evan will be 30 in October. 

Pretty cut and dried it seems. 

Can Julius work on his game and his conditioning and his mental approach in the offseason? 

Sure can.

WE SHALL SEE.

With two long athletic guys manning the starting guard spots Fournier can spread the floor and play passing lanes defensively while checking the slowest perimeter player when he is on the floor. If you do not need much positional defense and can excuse the occasional brain fart, he is an accomplished player.

I do not really mind him as a reserve for us next year if we cannot find a deal.

I like the fact that he owns his brain farts.  Never avoided the hard questions, regarding his struggles or that of the team. 

We missed the PlayIn. 

So it goes.  I like that we have competed, and we saw certain players maturing into their roles, and defining their niche, such as RJ, Burks, IQ and Mitchell.  PROGRESS. 

I thought your analysis of Julius raison d'tare was fair and balanced and CORRECT.  Whatever he did the summer of 2020, he needs to revisit and double down on.  I don't think his conditioning coming into 2021 was where it should have been. 

Be that as it may, more than conditioning, a re-exam of how to play offense.  Obi emerging as a template.  Nothing JR cannot do physically but the mental aspect...and again, THIBS needs to push him in this direction.

One doesn't have to blame Randle or blame Thibs to think they're not good together.

I don't think they're good together.

The idea that this will change because Julius will train hard over the summer?

That's a reach.

Good question

McBride should start, right?

Unless they have already made up their mind on his limitations.

I dont mind if we deal Randle for value.

I alsso do not discount that it could work if they bring him back.

Work, Leon.

[elephant]

I'm okay with any options predicated on the idea:

The way we've been using Randle does not work.

[kiidcarter8]

The old way or the news way?  Knicks have won 9 of 14.

[elephant]

Oy veh.

You are either a moron or have not been  watching the games

I will assume the latter

[kidcarter8]

So the rumor is Zion for Randle?

I guess.......

But I think Knicks may be getting Davis.
