The Knicks Are (Probably) Better Than You Think…
The New York Knicks have quickly transformed into one of the most talented teams in the NBA, with the Mikal Bridges trade adding yet another Villanova stud to an already stacked roster. With Jalen Brunson proving that he belongs in MVP conversations, OG Anunoby continuously being one of the best defenders in the NBA, and Julius Randle poised to return in any role the New Knicks ask of him, it’s worth asking: can this team really win it all?
With all the speculation around a potential Julius Randle trade, it’s worth asking if that’s something the Knicks even need to realistically consider. Is it actually their most pressing issue? Or will Mikal Bridges be enough to help them weather the storm of cold shooting spells?

Which tier do you put the Knicks in 👇
Tier 1 – legitimate threat to win it all
Tier 2- can compete with tier 1, but probably can’t go the distance
Tier 3 – middling contender, would need a dark horse run
Randle is one of the closet archetypes to LeBron & Zion actually…he’s just left handed and not as marketable as the others, but he’s one of the few with a similar game to LeBron in the league, bully ball perimeter forward…if he can tap into his playmaking and distributing phase of his game, Knicks are a severe problem
Brunson need to learn to just catch and go score instead of ballhogging all possession too
People love to scapegoat Randle but Brunson got problems too, he wanna hog the ball all game….he need to work on his catch and shooting more, Knicks need body & ball movement in order to beat Top Tier teams
juju the goat
Julius Randle’s lack of performance in the playoffs has been overstated. In 2021, he put that team on his back. He got doubled and tripled during the playoffs. That was not his fault. The next year he was injured. The next year, last year, he was injured. He will perform going forward because the team is as talented as it has ever been.
josh hart can play center and still bully 2/3rds of the league
Bro they are the new york role players good team but not a championship team
KNICKS we're irrelevant before Randle got there. KNICKS have a great roster.
Randle is a walking double double
Vinny gives me 30 minutes of internet access per week and this is how I spend it. Thank you for the entertainment, Alex
Knicks just brought back Mook Morris
The "Randle is bad in the playoffs" argument is lazy and inaccurate. The first Knicks playoff year he was playing with mostly people not in the league anymore — so the Hawks (smartly) did everything they could to stop him. The next Knicks playoff run he was injured.
Being a Knicks fan I love it when everyone sleep still🤫

With flaws?! Wtf are you saying? Do You know a perfect human? lets not talk about someone playing a sport. Bro the people Judging are just a bunch of idiots like you and me. Talking about flaws like He is MR. Perfect. Its like they just think about what sounds good. You might think you look good playing ball at 5'5 but you don't see yourself.
I can't stand Randle. Just because he says he will be flexible doesn't mean he can do it effectively. The Knicks are too small. He can't pass and has low basketball iq and looks lost when he needs to pass the ball and he overturns the ball. Who cares about January? The knicks were playing teams that were resting their starters.
knicks can't beat indiana! pacer 2025 champions
Bridges is our 4th option behind OG
If healthy they are awesome but C, PF and Sf can all struggle that way. So can Philly or Boston as Krisraps is already hurt. Bucks too with Khris M so who comes out of the East is who is most Healthy?

if they had randle they would of won it all
I think it's worth noting how trigger-happy the Knicks are on the trading block. They made two relatively blockbuster trades within two or so months last year during the season. I would bet they have ideas for bigs on other teams who they'd like to potentially trade for whether or not Mitch goes down with an injury.
The knicks have 2 top tier forwards now u need a center.
Hey alex, love the video and i wanted to know where did you get that "board man gets paid" sweater from?
1. no team wants to meet them in the playoffs
Yes, Randle is very good. But he's the reason the Knicks WON'T win a championship

I'm going to stand by this but they should trade Randle for Jarret Allen then the knicks would win it all
The Knicks were unstoppable last year when Randle and OG were on the floor together. Randle is a beast.
