The headline virtually says it all here. Three moments since the deadline point to the idea that The NY Knicks are becoming RJ Barrett’s team.
Yes, Julius Randle is getting headlines and deserves accolades. The team would not be a playoff contender without him.
And you cannot underestimate the impact Tom Thibodeau has had on the team’s success this year.
Think of the Knicks like a cheeseburger. Thibodeau is your favorite sauce. Randle is your favorite fixing.
But, RJ Barrett? He’s the patty, and I’ve argued my whole life that the best cheeseburgers don’t need a sauce or fixings.
