So does this basically means that some people in the FO want to try and figure out an extension before the season and some want to wait to see how he fits with this team?

I wouldnāt dismiss an Ian Begley report, heās in tune with the Knicks front office. I think this is a prove it year for Randle. Give him a chance to see how he does with this new team and see if he buys in on the defensive end. If he performs well for us and has a good playoff Run, extend him, otherwise we can look to package him for a better fit or player.
Per Ian: ā*I canāt tell you exactly what the Knicks think right now because: 1) Things change quickly in the NBA, especially at this time of year. 2) As is the case in most organizations, different people have different opinions on topics related to the team*.
*On Randle, some in the organization believe that Randle can fit well with this group and think that Randleās play in January ā after the OG Anunoby trade ā supports that point*
*Others are concerned about Randle going into this pivotal season with free agency looming and the challenges that may present. In addition, some decision-makers arenāt as bullish about the general fit of the current group*.ā
So to me, it simply sounds like there are differing opinions among the FO and Ian doesnāt know what will happen.
None of this is breaking news.

Is this really an update? Just rehashing old and wrong talking points. Is it hard to find a way for a person who’s been able to get his own shot while being able to make shooting look good on top of being a good rebounder to fit on this team?

The key word here is āothersā. Pure speculation.

Some of you guys are not familiar with Ian Begley. Heās essentially paid PR for the Knicks. If a report like this is getting out itās because the front office or Dolan wants it to go out. Dismissing anything from him is foolish. While I still think Randle can be a big contributor to our success this season, if heās not part of the long term plans and doesnāt get an extension, donāt be surprised.
Not-Josh-Hart
I love how people dismiss this because they donāt like it. Begley is clearly plugged in and yes, this is unfortunate.

Man this multiple all star multiple all nba trashcan gonna weigh this team down.

Just play the fucking year. Nobody in charge of an actual nba team is giving randle anywhere close to the max. Thatās just a this sub thing.
biggreenweenie22
Posturing from the organization. The front office doesnāt say shit unless they want you to hear it. Could be in the middle of negotiating his extension behind closed doors

so whas he trying to say

The fit is beautiful. Imagine the January 2024 squad but with Mikal!
ChillyBearTubs
Dolan loves Randle
this-isnt-my-red-it
Could easily have come from the Knicks in an effort to put pressure on Randle to accept a more team friendly deal
Or it could be weāre trading him for Zach Levine – just kidding fuck steve mills
iamdanabnormal
Not to doubt Begley but this is also reads like negotiating through the press.
Det_Loki
Weāre guna need his passing with iHart gone. Underrated part of his game that was starting to shine bright before he got hurt last season

Thatās pretty telling that heād put this out there. He doesnāt really ever offer much of substance but when he puts something out there this definitive itās something. Thereās smoke fellas.

The fit was amazing in the brief time Randle and OG played together after the trade. I see no reason to switch it up.
justsomedude4202
They were like undefeated with Randle Brunson and OG lol
NYerInTex
Oh yeah, we were just awful when this team – WITHOUT BRIDGES (who is a perfect complement here. Heās not some star or offensive force that must have the ball in his hand all the time. He in fact is best when others carry the load and he can focus on what he does best).
Just donāt get this take at all.
Now, the last season of the contract and what do we pay him is a fair question. But the fit? Please. Weāve seen it, and we are only better now.

If begley is saying this itās being leaked from inside intentionallyā¦

Itās about the money.
He wonāt take a Jalen / Bridges type deal he wants the 5/310.
leverkusenschlekt
Why would they be? He can playmake and score from 3 levels with 3 all defense guys behind him. It’s an incredible fit. When the ball is in his hands he can either kick out from the post or on a drive to many great spot up 3 point shooters
tconner87
They should give him an extension the day he’s eligible.
kidkuro
He fits. However he isn’t the best fit. Personally, I’m still fine with him being here, and I think we’d still be very good with him here.
FlockingPigeons
To me the full article is playing such a middle ground. The Knicks probably want him to take a pay cut and extend.
From a basketball perspective, how are they going to upgrade Randle? The Knicks need secondary playmaking and already poses some of the best role players in the league. So in theory they would look for a spacing 5 that can secondary playmake and protect the rim. Literally who is that? KAT? Iām not sure they even have the assets for him and the fit on defense is questionable. From a contract perspective heās on a max also. Is Minny even motivated to move him with their success last season? Players above that caliber are now out of our range of assets. Julius has faults but Iām not sure itās gonna get better than himā¦

Wha even fits better than Randle? Available players like Grant and Ingram are big downgrades.

Fred Katz said on Knicks Film School that Dolan loves Randle and appreciates that he came and built the culture. So, who knows? Pick your favorite āinsider.ā

I think Randle is gonna fit perfect. Rooting for you Julius! LGK!
lazyguy2525
Randle is a ball dominant player so it’s true he probably doesn’t fit. But he’s also pretty good so you just have to roll the dice.
zeezee2k
All of these rumors they put out there to pressure Randle to take a pay cut.
TheJiggie
Lots of people looking to make hot takes during the offseason based off of nothing in an attempt to try to stay relevant.

If Knicks get 2022-2023 shooter Randle, Knicks win the championship.
I think Randle is the type of player to live up to expectations, not shy away from them, especially when healthy.
The problem is how much do the Knicks think it will take to re-sign Randle?
I’m not certain Randle takes a hometown discount.
Best case scenario the Knicks storm out of the gates and prove to Randle that they are true championship contenders and Randle does take a paycut to try and win a championship and become a legend in New York.
Brunson, DiVincenzo, Anunoby, Randle, and Hartenstein was arguably the best team in January.
Brunson, Bridges, Anunoby, Randle, and Robinson has the chance to be even better than that.
goknicks23
In 226 minutes over 12 games together last season, the Knicks outscored opponents by 18.1 points per 100 possessions when Brunson-DiVincenzo-Anunoby-Randle were on the court. The number actually drops to 16.6 when you add I Hart to the mix for the 10 games those 5 played together. Plus Dolan loves him. What am I missing here? Who’s theoretically a better fit?
