So for the Knicks fans, do you think that Randle deserves this huge contract? And isn't it the Knicks could be over the salary cap in the next coming years as they have Brunson as well being paid handsomely and I think he is now the new leader of the Knicks?
They played so great in the playoffs without Randle, of course it will be good if he was there, but not sure what will be the outcome of that series.
It's up for the Knicks to answer that and evaluate him if ever he's going to be worth with the team. And what if he's there during the playoffs, maybe they'll be able to reach farther than what they've made.
A huge contract with a four years tied on him is going to be securing for Randle but that's the question that only Knicks will answer.
Let's see what happens this Saturday if there will be another contract or offer for him or they'd stick to that amount.
Yeah, but based on numbers, he is putting solid since he become a Knicks and so that could be the management is looking, on how they think Randle will play after his injuries. Still solid NYK team if he is back, we have Jalen Brunson and the rest knows how to contributed although they have lost Isaiah Hartenstein. But I still see the when Randle is healthy, he is going to lead the team in the playoffs again. He is a All star if I'm not mistaken, but we all know that if a players is injured and nursing some injuries, their performance are going to be affected. So let's give Randle another run in the Knicks uniform and take back his leadership or at least the alpha of the team.
NYK is a good team and they're building from those players that have the potential and then let someone stay on them if they can see the help that they can gain from those.
It's true that players when get injuries, that affects their contribution to the team and as well as possibility of getting new contract on them. As the value they have decreases depending on how healthy they are.
That's why those 4-5 years contract and locking hundreds of millions are good deals already whether you're from the starting five or you're the 6th man.
And when their careers start to drop low, those numbers and contracts will also decrease just as what we've seen with Westbrook.
