Gil DID NOT SAY THAT! He said that the "FIVE" who would "FINISH THE GAME" would be Brunson at the "1", Hart/DiVincenzo at the "2" (if they are ahead, Hart will be on the court, if they are behind, DiVincenzo will be on the court), Mykel at the "3", OG at the "4" and Randle at the "5". I sent a message earlier this week after Harkenstein left (and, I wish him luck, the Knicks could not offer more than four years/72 mil and OKC offered him much more and both teams are contenders so) and I said that "Randle can be the backup "5" if they stagger his minutes during the game. He can play at least 12 minutes at the backup center. Robinson and Sims (or, someone else) can play at least 36 minutes combined or less if the Knicks go small ball for a few minutes. Coach Tibbs, I know that he has his ways but this is the NBA now, position-less basketball. But, I know that the "RETURN OF THE BIGS" are happening so...

EVERYONE doesn't NEED A PODCAST. Gilbert have one good take every 10 times.

If the NY Knicks get Walker from the Utah Jazz. Walker could be the starting Center, make Robinson as a backup Center #1 and make Achiuwa as a backup Center #2. That is a perfect roster.

If Gilbert Arenas says we are going to have an Earthquake I am having a Barbecue

My opinion is to go as big as possible. Randle should stay away from the center. Keep him a PF so he is big and strong at that position. Bring in a big center for that. Put Bridges as an SG, O.G. as an SF. Brunson the PG. Off the bench, another solid C, a true PF, Hart SF, Don SG, and whichever PG's show out. Stop going small and get bigger!!!!!

@janine2371

Bring in a big center you say... Think like a GM! How would you like the Knicks to do that? With what trade assets? The salary cap is exhausted. Mitchell Robinson is the Knicks center. Robinson is a very good defensive center when healthy. No better center is available to the Knicks under the current circumstances unless they give up a valuable player in return.

Randall gets hurt in that position. He's too small to play 5

Gill needs to chill

Randle at the 5 is ok at some points but when it comes down to playing big teams and centers like Embid it's going to be tuff

@janine2371

Pray Mitchell Robinson stays healthy. He is a strong defensive player when he is on his game.

Can’t play Randle at the 5 every night. This would only take place in certain situations with close games or weak center. Knicks will not put him through the grind every night and risk injuries plus takes a toll on body. Want him fresh for playoffs and season. The 5 spot should be handle by bigs 6’11 to 7’0+ who have size to protect rim and rebound plus score. Trust in Thibs to handle the personnel on this roster and how it plays out. He will let us know in his press conferences. Areanas is a good player but has never coach on any level (college or pros) previously. Unless he’s willing to go to Knicks as an assistant coach he can put his 2 cents in. For now no head coach or asst coach experience roster suggestions will not work out unless he or anyone actually sees the players first hand in the flesh what they are capable of

Hi Troy, thank you so much for this video. Very informative..

Not a bad idea. But in short moments in the game

Randle does not like playing the 5, but if he does, it brings speed to the team, and better shooting, but brings a lack of size underneath

I could see it working

I think Randle at the 5 might actually think it might work. Bam Adebayo is 6'10" and plays center...that works for miami and helps with pace.

I believe that Thibs takes all line ups into consideration. Arenas never got a chip so how can he have so much input ? Stick to talking trash buddy. Thibs knows how to utilize his team and he doesn't need your opinion. I trust on Coach Thibs from day one. He takes this team seriously

Salute Troy good take and great content. I agree with utilizing a small ball line up in game situations depending on the match up. However if it does work then I don't see why Thibs wouldn't use it more often to counter certain match ups. Only time will tell

How can you take a guy coming off of a serious shoulder injury to play the five. That's a recipe for disaster.

The Gil hate is warranted HOWEVER, Randle has played the 5 as a Laker, alongside Kobe.... So it has been done before.

NONESENCE So Julius Randle is going to go up against 7 footers like embiid

U can do that, in small stints, if you wanna go offense heavy, like what the old warriors would do. But the problem is randle is sure to end up in foul trouble, hes gotta guard embiid, porzingus? Hes probably getting best out for rebounds. I would only try it, if we wanted to try a hurry up, shoot 3s in volume line up. Not a full time starter there, no way.

It wouldn't work with him playing at 5:00 cuz he don't play no defense the only thing he wears about is his offensive game Jewish Randall's mostly offensive player he's not a defensive player!

I agree with an occasional, based on match ups line up of Randle @ 5. But then again, i also see (again based on opponent), an up and down tempo line up of OG at the 5, Hart at the 4 (Thibbs already has proven he loves Hart at the 4), Bridges at the 3, Dante at the 2, and maybe McBride at the 1. Push the tempo in a turbo lineup.

Julius Randle will be gone by the salary deadline in February, shortest team in the league rn

Keep Julius Randle at the 4. Robinson at the 5. Trade for a center to backup Robinson.

Knicks got their ex draft pick that came from the Charlotte Hornets from a draft day trade on 2023,Jalen Duren back. The Knicks that same night traded Duren and Kemba Walker to open up cap space to sign Jalen Brunson.

We good with Mitch. Just need a solid backup center. We already have a solid nine man rotation. So no need the over play anyone player.

Gil was just talking about at the end of the game. Whats the line up should be. Not any other time.

Randle being the big men constant basis in a tough stretch he is strong and physical I agree but dealing with guys like embid is not easy. And it will probably offset his game. Gilbert is basically saying that’s a strong starting 5 without any trades right now.

Julius is unable to defend against anyone, Gilbert has to stay behind the wheel and drive rather than get into mischief

I agree Julius could play at center but just for little amount of minutes.

Iv'e always been a Knicks fan through the few ups and many downs. Losing IH was a big blow, and Julius coming back will be something to see. If history repeats itself, Brunson can play lights out but the end result will be the same. I personally think Randle should be moved. When this aren't going right we all see how he's sort of disruptive to the team and where is he in the post season? I've seen enough. The teams chemistry will be upset by the loss and return also the guys who got you to the post season will no longer be starters

Ben Wallace was 6’9 ….pray Mitchell don’t go down again 👏

Randle should have been traded to make room for Hartenstein. The guy doesn't play defense and his offense was spotty and inconsistent at best...problem was it cost games at important part of the games. IMO, Randle thought he was the leader but that was where he was wrong. As I said for 3 consecutive yrs...trade Randle. If he accepts that he is not a go to guy and plays defense then NYK has a lot of upsides for the coming season. Kessler could make up for the Hartenstein loss for sure!

Having Randle at 5 would force every team to change their defense. Randle could easily blow by a big slow center on an isolated, or shoot 3 if big man doesn't come out.
