Julius Randle Booed At MSG Amid Reports Of Trade Demands

Is Julius Randle working behind the scenes to try to force his way out of New York?

This week, it was rumored that the star big man has grown fed up with Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks organization amid their disappointing season. And after seeing what James Harden was able to do, he wants to follow suit.

Some people around the league believe Julius Randle could force his way to a new team in a “James Harden type of way,” per @NYPost_Berman

Earlier today, Tom Thibodeau spoke on the rumors surrounding Julius Randle.

“Are you serious? C’mon. You know I’m not gonna respond to something like that anyway, but let’s be real. C’mon,” he said.

By the sounds of it, Julius Randle way be on his way on out New York. Which would undoubtedly mean that every time he steps foot in Madison Square Garden for the rest of his career, he’d be hearing all the hate.
