He is bogging down the team play with his lethargic play, IMO.

I think this is what maddens the NYK fans. They know that Obi moves constantly and passes well/unselfishly. That helps the whole offense. Obi-style makes the game beautiful and tends to spread the wealth and make everyone better.

Obi still has some weaknesses, but I think Thibs needs to cut Randle minutes while challenging him to play hard in those minutes. Get Obi on the floor more and reward the team-first style of play.

Yeah, I get it. Randle has the four year, 70 million dollar deal and doesn't really have to be cooperative if he does not want to. He may not care unless he thinks it may affect a future contract or make his stay in NY unlivable.

But the team being at the mercy of playing a big contract player who is tanking it and doing things his way might be a worse option.
