I am probably in the minority but I don’t want the Knicks to resign Randle unless it is for a below market deal, making him easy to trade.
As you write, Randle has performed poorly in the playoffs and takes plays off on defense. But another reason fans don’t love him and he is another reason he is not a championship player, is because all too often he forces shots and/or ignores open teammates. He is a good passer when he wants to be so there is no excuse for not always finding the open man.
If the Knicks truly want to be a title contender, and they are not there yet, they need a starting 4 who plays good defense, shoots at least league average from 3, rebounds and passes when covered.
I’d love it if Miami would trade Butler even up for Randle. That deal would make the Knicks true championship contenders. I would NOT trade him for KAT as KAT is not as good a rebounder or passer and is just as bad on defense.

yeah - with Bridges on board - it seems highly unlikely NY would make a run at KAT
