After confirming a missing playoff, Thibodeau announced that Randall would likely miss all of the rest of the season.
Yesterday against the Cavaliers, Randall did not play, today played magic, Randall did not play, not that there are any injuries, but for "protection" reasons, did not let Randall play.
Generally speaking, when the team misses the playoffs, many teams will choose to let their star rest to avoid injuries, which is how the Pelicans let Ingram and Zion rest last year, but they did not expect Zion to rest for a whole season.
At present, the Pelicans still have a good chance to participate in the qualifiers, but no one can say whether Zion will come back.
But This is clearly not the case for Randall, after all, Barrett is still on the court, so this "protection" is estimated not to protect Randall, but to protect other teammates from being affected by him.
Randall, there have been too many negative news lately, what is far away from other teammates in the locker room, the team won he left the game early to celebrate together, he did not participate in the pre-game home introduction starter, and even pressed the team like Harden left the Rockets, and so on.
So now that Randall is hidden in the snow, it is estimated that the Knicks also have the intention of protecting Randall and waiting for the offseason to see how to deal with it, if Randle's attitude does not change, the probability of the Knicks trading him is very high.
But the Knicks want to send away Randall's difficulty is not generally large, last year the Knicks just gave Randall 4 years 117 million early renewal contract, this huge contract will only take effect this summer, 4 years of big contract ah, a careless will be completely smashed in the hand, who will want to take over?
The situation between the Cavaliers and Lefou was similar at that time, and after James left, the Cavaliers also gave Lefour an early contract extension of 120 million yuan for 4 years, and the result was that everyone knew what happened in the next 2 years.
The Cavaliers have stayed up until this year when the youngsters have grown, and Love himself has changed his mentality to accept the role of a substitute, and the Cavaliers have only improved a little, but looking at Randall's appearance now, he will certainly not be as good at talking as Lefour.
So the Knicks are really troublesome enough to deal with Randall, either expecting Randall to change his ways, or posting a lot of assets to send him away, or exchanging them with other garbage contracts.
For example, are there any bold ideas?
However, the Knicks still have a little initiative in this matter, after all, the team is like this now, broken cans, slowly consume time, Randall's career will only drag on more and more waste.
And the Knicks are not without Randall, replacing his Toping just yesterday scored a career high of 20 points, without Randall as a demon, young players have more room to play.
Although it may be the most watery dunk contest champion in history, Topping's qualifications are indeed not bad, after all, it was once a big hit.
Look at the same year's Huazi, three goals these people are slowly growing into the core of the team, Topping has just won the first 20+ of his career, is there a possibility that the Knicks limited Topping's development?
