Is Julius Randle 'Extraordinary Tradable'?

The New York Knicks have made a lot of big moves in the last year, and there could be another on the horizon.

In a recent episode of The Hoop Collective , ESPN's Brian Windhorst says that the Knicks could make a big splash by trading Julius Randle, as he considers him very "tradable."

"Because of that $29 million salary, he is extraordinarily tradable," Windhorst said. "The Knicks still do have a couple of first-round picks that they can move... There is no reason why if he is playing at the top of his game, why he shouldn't seriously consider opting out of that."

There have been a lot of trade rumors surrounding the three-time All-Star, as some think that he does not fit in to the Knicks' NBA Finals aspirations.

While the team was able to make it past the first round of the playoffs without Randle in the lineup, there is no telling what they would have been able to do if he had been healthy. Brunson was able to shoulder the load offensively, but it made the team simpler to play defense against, as the opposing team always knew where the ball was going.

The team would be able to get a lot in return if they were to trade Randle, but if the team decides to keep him, he could help them be a true contender for years to come.
