The release of the schedule brings into focus for Knicks fans the harsh truth. The Knicks fans are going to be pretty bad, Mitchell or no Mitchell, as arguably their biggest problem -- Julius Randle -- is still on the team. And as much as Knick fans hope he will play closer to 19-20, 20-21 is much closer to his average. Remember, when Perry signed him on the Durant rebound, Randle was having trouble finding a suitor. His selfish play and his delusional belied in himself are just a terrible combination.

If I could unload Randle for Westbrook even up, I’d do it. It would be the classic addition by subtraction. And even if the Knicks don’t win more games, they would be massively more enjoyable to watch.

With Lebron and AD, Randle would not be able to play the big dog and maybe, as the third or fourth best player on that team, he could really contribute to the Lakers.

I think Knicks management is playing with fire because I bet by the second half of the first home game, fans will be booing Randle and chanting for Obi.

Felt like this feature was made with The Greenroom Mamba in mind. And, of course, Jon Saur ... who wants me answering more questions!

If you are a subscriber to The Stein Line, I am told you should be able to close the app and then re-open it and then the Threads icon will appear. Only seven publications are part of the pilot program right now, so only subscribers to those seven publications will have that Icon.

I think/hope I explained that right.
