Trade Julius for Siakam imo, much better defender. Julius defense is the most stunning thing, dude offers no resistance or rim protection. Siakam is an excellent defender, NBA Champion as a 2nd option, better scorer by a lil imo, same age and is typically good in the playoffs offensively sans the bubble. Also Siakam can actually pass out of a double team

Starters -
Randle - hit the bricks; get traded motherfukker
Mitch - trade if possible
RJ - move him to the bench where he would have more value because trading both him and Randle seems unlikely
Grimes and Brunson are the only starters safe.
Bench -
IQ - I would keep but if you can get someone of equal value go for it.
Hart Foundation - keep both, yes J Hart was ass but definitely a needed piece during the regular season.
Obi - depends on the coaching situation really
Deuce - keep
And get shooters during the off season

Game 6 and 7s trying to keep the season alive is on the #2 and #1 to show up, if others show up that’s a bonus but those the guys you rely on
Just one fukking guy. That’s all we needed. Not even for the whole game. Just a hot 3 mins an we go home for game 7.
Julius Randle isn't a #2 option on a Championship winning team.
Thibs...gotta go. His lack of adjustments screwed the Knicks over.
Randle...gotta go. He doesn’t have the heart for the bright lights of this city or the playoffs.
Brunson...Give that man a well deserved month vacation.
Barrett...learn from this kid, and get better.
Obi...it was fun, brought excitement, but gotta go.
Mitch...put the damn phone down & hit up Olajuwon or Ewing for some inkling of a offensive game.
Hart...get in the gym & work on that shot.

Realistically we need shooting. we're an oddly assembled team that made it work, but we need floor spacers.
I think it comes down to trading one of the following three: RJ, Randle, or Mitchell Robinson.
RJ played fine all playoffs outside of that last game, I think he turned a corner and he's worth taking into next season, and this is coming from a guy who was unconvinced he was any good all season.
But Randle and Mitch got exposed heavy, and I think it's really one of these two that have to go. If we keep Randle we NEED a stretch five, there's no way around it. Towns and Porzingis can both probably be had pretty easily this offseason, and if we sign KP we can use Mitch in a trade to upgrade one of the other positions. I think Myles Turner can be had in a trade too if we push hard enough.
If we trade Randle....I don't know where we can find a clear upgrade at, which is why I think Robinson is the player who is least likely to be on the team next year.

This loss hurts because Miami was such a beatable opponent. But in the grand scheme, I guess you can call this season somewhat of a success, making the 2nd round
