HOLY KRISTAPS: All Things Porzingis | TRADED to WAS

[SleepingHero]

No it shows you put zero effort into your rant.

When Randle signed with the Knicks he posted the following numbers over 81 games.

Shooting 52/34/73.

That is just as good as the Porzingis season before the Mavs acquired him.

He was 24 years old on an upward trajectory and begging the Mavs to sign him two years in a row.

This is how I can tell you love boxscore numbers. I'm sure you were a big fan of Stephon Marbury and Latrell Sprewell back in the day too.

Please elucidate to me, if Randle was having such an amazing career before signing with the Knicks, why did no one else in the league have interest? He signed in 2019. A year where the majority of the league had cap space. 29 other teams passed up on him. Even the Pelicans who had him on a cheap contract said "No thank you. Have a good career". He averaged 21 points for them too, by the way. 

Again, Randle signed a team friendly contract out of necessity. The Knicks threw money at him to reach the salary floor after striking out on all the big name free agents. If Randle was this amazing player why in the world were the Knicks SO bad last year with him as the main star? Why did no other team bother to even make a contract offer to Randle?

Randle has always been a terrible defender, turnover prone player that couldn't shoot outside of 10 feet. He had 1 go-to move that earned him the nickname beyblade. Heck, after his rookie contract ended and he averaged 16/8, where the only team that wanted him was NOP. They gave him a 2 year deal with a player option worth 17 mil total. Think about that. A young 23 year old forward that averaged 16/8, shot 56% from the field and played in all 82 games only got a 2 year contract worth about 8 mil a year.

R E V I S O N I S T history. 

They goofed on Randle and Lavine big time.

Also what...? How were the Mavs magically supposed to get Lavine? Force Chicago to trade him? Go after him when he had RFA in 2018? Ridiculous.
