REAL REASON Julius Randle Rejoined CAA… (TKR Live) | Knicks News

you know last time I asked you when Julius Randle left CA the first time and he joined WME Sports I asked you if it was significant and at the time you told me yes so now I want to ask you again he left W Sports after around six months and now he is back he is back bound back with CA and really I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen a a player leave the only agency he’s known since entering the league for a different agency and then a couple of months later leave that same agency and go back to the agency he’s always known so what do you think about that move from Randall and do you think it’s significant for him moving back to ca now I don’t think it’s very significant but I do think something changed right RJ Barrett was traded to Toronto I almost felt that Randall joined Bill Duffy and who is RJ’s uh agent I thought like maybe they’d be a package where Bill would try to do the best for both of them because there was a lot of concern does rj and Julius mesh both left-handed players both have a lot of similarities on the offensive end uh and maybe they didn’t have a great chemistry so I almost thought that having bill in control of the two of them he could do the best for for for each of his players now RJ’s gone and I think Julius realizes with CAA which runs the Knicks they’re going to do the best for him and they’re going to do the best for the Knicks I think it’s a combination I think he’s I think he’s just more comfortable with CA he’s been there his whole career and I think he knows they’re going to do good by him and whether that stays with the Knicks or moves him to a a better place uh he knows they’re not going to betray him I don’t think he knew Bill very well uh when he signed up uh with Bill Duffy but I don’t think it’s very I think it’s more that RJ got traded to Toronto so it it it wasn’t the same uh circumstances oh interesting I didn’t put that together actually with R.J leaving and if that was the case if Randall would want to move as well so that’s actually a a pretty good um kind of explanation regards to why he went back to CAA and hopefully I think I mean I thought he went back there when I heard the news I just thought okay in my head the only way he’s going back there is if some type of explanation went down where next time you are up for a contract extension we’re going to take care of you you’re not going to have to leave any money on the table or whatever the case would be I I assume something like that was probably said do you think anything like that is probably um was spoken about I mean one way or another they’re going to do good by him whether it’s part of an extension and him part of the long-term future right or putting him in a good spot with another team I think he trusts CAA uh so much that he thinks it will work out in the end does Julius want to get traded listen he knows it’s tough to play in New York especially when you’re not playing very well he saw that team really take off without him so I’m wondering if if he listen he’s from Dallas uh you know they may need a piece uh it doesn’t look like they’re GNA win the championship they mean may need a final piece to the puzzle but listen I I think that Julius I I don’t see him as a long-term piece I I I know January was fantastic when they were all healthy yeah but it was a week schedule and it was only a few weeks so it’s have to like say okay this is you know going to work long term uh again durability issues with Julius and his age I’m I’m a little leery of that extension I also want to mention and shout out to Ian Bagley of SNY for giving us this following update He also mentioned that for Julius Randall he does think Randall will bounce back well from his shoulder surgery and have another strong season in 2024 and 2025 as we’ve been mentioning he is eligible for an extension in early August but he States his prediction is that he and the Knicks will be unable to come to an agreement on an extension in August which means that Julius Randall will be entering a contract season next year and we already know when it’s contract time for Julius he is going to perform and show out like nobody’s business so according to ESPN’s front office Insider Bobby mark uh he breaks down that brunson’s extension maxes out this summer at 4 years 156.000 uh 39.1 million uh annually but if he waits till 2025 his max is 5 years 258 million 51.6 uh average salary for that with Julius Randall is a little bit different because right now he has four years 190 million that he can get an extension for if he waits he can get an extension worth more than around 300 million so the Knicks definitely have some decisions to make regarding extensions just regarding these two extensions Randall took less before jaylen’s on a bargain contract now number one do you see either of these guys taking less in terms of an extension and if not um what do you think these guys are going to settle down in terms of extension with the Knicks what do you think that final number is going to be uh I mean it’s it’s the final number doesn’t matter to me what matters to me is does it put him over that second apron when they do these extensions and if they resign OG and iHeart uh you know a hardenstein is is it going to put them in that horrible salary cap situation where they’re over the second apron and what that means and I’m not an accountant but it’s going to be very tough to make a blockbuster trade yeah and they have all this draft Capital that’s why there’s a feeling you better make this Blockbuster sooner than later before you over the apron because randle’s going to get paid and brunson’s going to get paid and that’s why with the numbers you were throwing out for Randall right he’s gonna be 30 years old next year he hasn’t been very durable the last couple of years injured in the playoffs uh you know with the ankle situation and a season ago and then obviously uh going down late in the air not even late I think it was late January or early February right but 30 years old next year he’s got a lot of mileage on him again he rookie year he missed with an injury so I feel that you have to trade Julius I I don’t want to give him that kind of extension not with the signs of him breaking down and I honestly believe and I think you know I’ve always been a Julius fan but in those playoffs and late in the season I saw Jaylen Brunson seem seem like a Freer player without Julius on the court I mean to score was it 40 straight points and four straight games in the playoffs I mean that’s like incredible Jordan and it was helping the team win right it wasn’t like Carmelo Anthony’s 40 points in a loss so I I felt that the jayen it kind of hit me it’s like you know I think Julius may get in the way of this incredible rise of of Jaylen because I love Jaylen I love the way he’s clutch I love the grit I think Julius unfortunately has never performed in the playoffs so my theory is you got to trade Julius sooner than later before he gets that extension I think it’s gonna be tougher to trade him if he has that extension in his uh in his wallet already if you enjoy these clips from the live show
