They need to blow it up... Randle's play last year was complete fool's gold and his playoff disappearance should have been a sign for the Knicks to sell high. Now they are stuck with him for 4 years... luckily it's no a terrible contract.

Only potential bright spot on the team is RJ, but I think he's at best a 2nd or 3rd option on a good team. Eventually I can see RJ turning into a DeRozan type player with much better D, but I don't see him ever reaching a Bradley Beal or even a CJ McCollum level. Grimes seems like he has potential as a solid 3rd or 4th option who can do the 3 and D thing so well done there. Other than that there is not a single other player on the team I'd lose sleep over if they traded him. Quickly is a perfect case of  NY media and fans building a mirage of a great player who just isn't there right now. Luckily it looks like Rose is not falling for the hype, but the Randle deal does give me significant pause and not drafting Haliburton seems like it is a mistake for the ages.

I don't think Thibs makes it through next year and I hope the Knicks move on this offseason. The Thibs bump comes from intensity, effort and physicality and you can see it best on D... it's clear that bump is long gone and the team has mentally checked out. If that's the case I'm not sure what value Thibs brings as a coach. Also his D strategy is predicated around stopping Lebron in the days when he overpowered teams single handedly... the league has completely changed to pace and space thanks to Curry and Thibs D doesn't work in the new world because it gives up way too many wide open looks.
