NEW YORK — Julius Randle arrived at his postgame presser in a chill mood, rocking a summer shirt with his chest exposed, and ready to dispel the notion he doesn’t want to be with the Knicks.
“I love the city. My family loves it here. I’m a Knick. That’s what I love. I love being a Knick,” Randle said after Wednesday’s 125-114 loss to the Hornets.
Of course, Randle’s antics on the court this season have often suggested otherwise, with the latest incident being his angry beeline to the locker room while his teammates celebrated Monday’s win. Reports soon followed that Randle was forcing his way off the team, with WFAN host Craig Carton saying the Knicks power forward requested a trade.
