The New York Knicks are receiving calls for Julius Randle. Per SNY’s Ian Begley, the Sacramento Kings were one of the potential suitors but are likely out after acquiring Domantas Sabonis from the Indiana Pacers.

Asked Julius Randle about having starters play in blowouts: “I’ll let ya’ll debate that. Like I said, the only thing that matters is what’s in our locker room and what we think as players. I got Thibs’ back 100 percent. I trust him. And whatever he asks me to do, I’m going to do” – 12:19 AM

Hard to credit someone playing hard when Knicks are losing big – but Randle is on the verge of his third straight 30-plus game, has three steals, 5 assists, 1 turnover and is playing hard. – 10:49 PM

Julius Randle just caused a turnover off a double team on Jokic and caught him by surprise. Feel like that’s worth like 10 points on Jokic because of how well he feels out doubles – 10:05 PM

One of those nights…again. Randle with a nice read to steal a Jokic pass. Goes the length of the floor and … misses the layup. Then Gordon hits a three on the other end. It’s not close. – 10:00 PM

Knicks should give Miles McBride a chance at PG. He’s averaging 30 & 10 in the G League but doesn’t play for NYK. In loss tonight: RJ Barrett had 23 points on 25 shots, Julius Randle was good early but can’t run offense late. The need for playmaking is obvious. Why not try Deuce? pic.twitter.com/9Z7fGTI23m – 12:01 AM

Quin, on Dok: “I told him in the locker room, it’s not that he didn’t do a good job the last 2 games, but tonight, playing against Robinson, Noel, and Randle, it’s a war down there.” Loved that his competitiveness went up in 2H. – 11:51 PM

epitome of the Knicks season right there:
1) Thibs cant even get the refs attention to call timeout
2) Elects to have team play out possession
3) Randle misses wide open layup with right hand
4) Mitch Rob gets rebound, fouled
5) Misses both free throws – 11:21 PM

End 3Q: Knicks 86, Jazz 82. Despite some truly awful basketball, including zero passing, horrible shot selection, and olé defense, Utah is still in this thing. Randle has 28p, Robinson 17p/18r for Knicks. Don has 25p for Utah, which is 8-36 from 3. – 10:55 PM

More on this storyline
The Kings were among the teams interested in Randle entering this week. Several teams had expressed a degree of interest in Randle ahead of the deadline. The Kings were under the impression that they could acquire Randle for the right return. -via SportsNet New York / February 9, 2022
Yet, Randle has fallen off so dramatically this season that the extension is intimidating to other teams. And it’s not so much the dollars as it is the years. The contract runs through 2026 “I don’t see anyone giving up anything of value for him,” one rival executive said. And it’s hard to imagine the Knicks dealing him without a decent return. -via The Athletic / February 8, 2022
Julius Randle considers recent trade rumors surrounding him as flimsy as tinsel. After Friday’s practice at UCLA, Randle interrogated this reporter on the authors of an alleged push by Knicks management to trade him by the Feb. 10 deadline. “Who reported it? Who reported it?’’ Randle repeatedly said. The Post reported after last month’s Cam Reddish trade that management considers everything on the table after stockpiling another asset. An SNY report confirmed the Knicks are open to trading the former Lakers lottery pick, but only for a significant package. -via New York Post / February 7, 2022
