It was a risk worth taking. Delay the surgery with a hope he could have come back for the playoffs. The only downside is he may miss some games in October/November. It was reasonable for them to wait as long as they did. My bigger issue is with OG. That injury has beed downplayed from the start. Will the Knicks really give a max contract (or close to a max) to a guy who has a history of not being on the court?
I think the Randle and the team decided on surgery this week (instead of mid-April) b/c they looked at the calender and said "he'll be good to go on Opening Night if he gets the sugery on this date..." OG is a gamble, but one worth taking IMO... we'll see how the rest of this season shakes out
This news sucks but is what it is at this point . Hate Miami even more than before if that’s possibly ruined 2 postseasons in a row . On plus side JB emergence as a legitimate MVP player and Duece’s arrival as a legit NBA player have been great . DDV as an elite shooter all made possible by Randle’s absence. We are set up nicely for future . Plus all the pressure shifts to whoever we play in playoffs
So turns out JR had a shoulder specialist initially say 100% needs surgery. The. Hurt it again 5 weeks ago during contact drills. Why wait, ridiculous.

yup - sorta playing with house money in a way
Someone needs to kick Bam in the nuts if we see Miami. I nominate Hart, cause he don’t GAF.
🤣
OG needs to get back ASAP

Orlando in five 🤕
I think they beat ORL without Randle rather handily
