Julius Randle’s brilliance easing sting of Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis trade
NY Post
If Julius Randle keeps this up, he is going to have a hard time buying a drink around New York City for the rest of his natural life. When he is old and gray, Randle will still be the toast of the town for taking the Knicks’ money when the big names didn’t want it, for starting their drive back to relevance and for making the team’s first championship since 1973 feel like a realistic goal.
Oh, and for easing the sting of the Kristaps Porzingis trade, if not making the sting completely go away. The Knicks’ 2019 trade of Porzingis to the Mavericks was not exactly the Mets’ 1977 trade of Tom Seaver to the Reds, but it hurt all the same. The main Maverick coming New York’s way, Dennis Smith Jr., was a disaster, and DeAndre Jordan, the man who was supposed to help lure Olympic teammates and friends Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to the Garden, ended up joining them in Brooklyn instead.
