Intro always and forever there will be an NBA Insider an NBA analyst somebody that covers this league that throws out there a trade proposal or links Randall to an insane trade that I don't think any team would ever do but of course it comes out and that's exactly what happened recently an NBA Insider linked Julius Julius Randle Linked To Houston Rockets Trade Randall to an insane trade with the Houston Rockets now first off I wouldn't want the Knicks to trade Julie Randall to the Rockets the Rockets have no one no one that I would want to trade Randall for right now Randall is the better player and Randall is the better fit right now for this Knicks team Randall's exactly what we need for this Nicks roster so I don't know why Executives and NBA analysts and NBA insiders constantly continue to try to include Randall in a deal to move him for another team and when they do it they do it for a guy like Jabari Smith what are we talking about here let's go Insider Suggests That Rockets Need Of Star Boost through this recent report here from Greg Schwarz of Bleacher Report and what he STS about Julius randler and potentially the Knicks going after him according to Bleacher Reports Greg Schwarz he States the Houston Rockets are in need of a boost that will get them back among the best teams in the Western Conference they have been relying on their youth to get them back to the top but they have enough pieces to be able to trade some of them for an established Allstar according to Bleacher Report writer Greg Schwarz one player they could look to acquire is the New York Nicks forward Julius Randall Randle For Jabari Smith Jr? another Texas native Randall would be an upgrade over Jabari Smith Jr in the starting forward spot and is a veteran that the Rockets could run their offense through a front Court of Randall and sangon may not be the best defensively but both are strong enough passers rebounders and versatile scorers that head coach IM udoka could expand his offensive Playbook with those two in the lineup Randall turns 30 in November and Rockets Could Make Multiple Moves If They Traded For Randle is Seeking a long-term deal so that's why the Knicks could look to trade him Jabari Smith Jr would be the starter for a trade package but the Knicks likely would also want sangon in any deal as well to fulfill their Center problems that would give the Rockets the green light to give Jaylen green a new contract along with Julius Randall while the Knicks would roll with Smith and senon in the front Court that's the current information that we have here from NBA Insider Greg Schwarz of Bleacher Report regarding this insane trade scenario where the Knicks would trade Julius Rand to the rockets and in return they would likely get Jabari Smith Jr or some trade package that included that player if that was the trade if that trade package is on the table and I don't care how many first round picks the Rockets are attaching here because you best believe the Knicks are not giving up any first round picks in this package I'm not giving up one not even a protected pick because Randall is better and when you have the better player you don't give up assets you receive them so let's just start out right there I'm not giving up any first round picks if you wna get Julius Randall and you want to trade for him you can start giving me maybe four first round picks I'll start the conversation there four first round picks because that's Julius randle's worth look at his numbers look at his style of Play Three Time Allstar two-time all NBA don't get disrespectful don't get disrespectful you think that trade package for japar for Jabari Smith would be good enough for Randall never in your life never it wouldn't be good enough the Rockets have nothing nothing to offer the Knicks for me to be comfortable to give Julius Randle to them the only way they could try to sweeten that pot to make it make more sense for me is they would have to include I don't know how many first round picks so many first round picks that it would be crazy for me to say no to it that's the level of player Randall is and that's all it would take for me to trade him but that's the only thing it would trade EXC me that's the only thing it would take but get this no team is ever going to do that because the Knicks value Julius Randall likely more than any other team does especially right now Randall has not proven anything being injured he needs to show that the injury is not doing anything to his game he needs to show that in the postseason he can show up show out and become one of the forces on this Knicks Julius Randle Will Determine Next Contract On Play Next Season team that we've always wanted him to be but those are factors that are going to go into whether he gets paid whether he gets traded how many picks a certain team may want to give up in a trade for him but that's what we're talking about here but let me point this out and make it clear we can talk about this forever the Knicks are not looking to trade Julius Randle right now that has been proven clear and been made clear and clarified time and time again they're not looking for one they're not entertaining one they're not on the phone saying hey what would you give me for Julius Randall no they're not doing that because they know what we all know at least most of us know Randall on this team and at least seeing it for one year that's the best course of action you want to trade Randall or potentially have that narrative going into this season with everything all the hopes and dreams we have for this season already we're trying to win a championship Julius Randall is a core piece to that he's the second option on offense behind Jaylen Brunson some nights he might be the third get that right third option bully ball Julius Randall in the paint mindboggling and some nights that's going to happen because sacrifice is what you need to get the most out of this team Randall already knows that and I'm not trading anybody else especially from the core of this team until I see it at least once you're going to rob me the opportunity of seeing Randall Brunson OG Mel and Mitchell Robinson give it a try for one full season no no no I want to watch that for one entire season see what these guys can do cuz I think when healthy that Squad who's beating that Squad when healthy I don't think anybody they're running through the league ladies and gentlemen you double team Brunson randle's open you triple team Randall Brunson your wings are open somebody's going into the rim to penetrate right behind Randall what are you doing who are you stopping no one and Randall will trust the pass because we have everybody on the court that he trust Jaylen Mel OG sometimes D Randle Surrounded By Capable Shooters... Dante or joshh and all them can shoot the three at an extraordinary clip including Josh Hart have we forgotten the playoffs I haven't and I think the playoff performance is going to go into his regular season performance because he has been working on that three-point shot during the off season the Knicks have a band of dogs on this team and they all support each other in the right way Julius Randall in a major way was somebody that we missed in the Indiana series and now that we're getting him back everybody's going to understand why he was a force to deal with why the Knicks were a force to deal with in January and why that wasn't a delusion why it wasn't a hallucination we're going to show you that that month of January is going to be a constant when we head into next season I'm tired of people discrediting what Randall did and the way he played in January like those games don't exist news flash they exist and spoiler alert he played within the flow of the offense and it looked beautiful magical you're telling me he won't do it again I don't believe that I believe Randall more than any other year in his career understands right now his role is to support whatever we're doing on that court on a night toight basis if that means being the man this night do it that means being the third option do Julius Randle Doesn't Have A Problem Sacrificing For The Greater Good it and I don't think he's gonna have a problem with it watch and see Randall this year contract year monster year coming best believe that I'll put everything on that because I honestly believe Randall he's not going to be touched in terms of power forwards in this league coming this year I promise you that if you enjoy these clips from the live show be sure to subscribe to the channel and have notifications turned on so you don't miss any new episodes or when we go live thanks for watching Nick fans and until next time peace
