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.
