Julius Randle will accept “any role that’s asked of him” to help the Knicks win, reports SNY’s @IanBegley “He’s looking forward to being back, healthy, with this group, and thinks things can be special with Bridges. He wants to win and win in New York.”

  1. For all the big brain people who question his willingness to “buy in”

    The role that he should accept and play is the 2nd option and co-star to Jalen Brunson, any other role would be egregious.

    Big season upcoming for 30!

  2. and if his numbers drop, we shouldnt automatically assume a decline. its not that if we winning its a sacrifice, if we losing hes washed/bad fit. there is nuance.

  3. I’ve been the biggest skeptic of Randle, but I’m hyped for healthy JR. I believe him and wanna see how this team looks.

  4. Not sure why anyone would think any different of this man. I fucking love Randle and I can’t wait to watch this team cook.

  5. *you like that*, Kirk Cousins (RIP) voice.

    2 questions:
    1)Is Ju willing/capable of defensively playing the center role effectively enough to allow Thibs to feel confident in consistently deploying him there?

    2)Is Ju going to be OK not being in the closing five on some nights?

    Idrk the answers to either?

  6. I don’t understand any of these trade randle posts on sports sites. the Knicks showed they need another creator. how many other of rebound and space the floor and can create a little.

    I know we could use another back up center but it’s silly to trade a border all-star for a back up center

  7. 99% of the Knicks fans appreciate Julius and know he’s a contributor and a fighter and **knows that we were 14 and 2 in January** with him.

    New Yorkers love to make up imaginary enemies to argue with.

    We’re all good…. Everybody loves Julius… now stfu

  8. Didn’t love Randle as the main guy. Just too inefficient and mentally struggled at times. But I’m not sure there’s a better fit at PF for us. Brunson as the leader and shut down wings with other scoring. So excited for this season.

  9. This is like an ideal situation for Randle – a top 3 option on a championship contending team. No need to carry the whole load himself but lots of opportunity to step up for glory when the time is right. Who wouldn’t want that?

  10. If he focuses on assists and locking down his man we are in a very good place. The scoring will come easily.
