Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Walt Frazier mostly defending Julius Randle, saying criticism “unfair.” Points out only 2 other players averaging a 20, 10 and 5. But adds some flak he’s “brought upon himself.” – 8:05 PM

Knicks are really going to hit every contested jump shot again? That surely can’t hold up, but the Barrett layups have to be stopped – 7:55 PM

I asked Thibodeau if, as far as he knows, Julius Randle wants to be with the Knicks. His answer:
“Yeah, as a coach, you coach the players that you have. And you love them all. If you play for me, I love you. It’s simple. The challenge is to bring the best out of each other.” – 6:12 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Thibodeau on the report that Randle asked for a trade after Monday’s game: “Are you serious? Are you serious? C’mon. You know I’m not going to respond to something like that anyway. Let’s be real.” – 6:09 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Fournier is available tonight. And Randle and Robinson are starting again. – 6:06 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
#Cavs Evan Mobley is not in a walking boot. The MRI looked “pretty clean,” a source tells @clevelanddotcom. But he won’t travel to Atlanta or New York on this coming road trip, meaning he’s out at least the next three games

#3 with the 3-pointers!! T-RO is our MVP this month
⭐️ Led the team in scoring, steals and 3-pointers made this month
⭐️ T-4th in the NBA in threes made this month (50)
⭐️ Now needs just 12 3-pointers to set a new single-season career high (currently at 211)

Rumor: Julius Randle angling for trade from Knicks nba.nbcsports.com/2022/03/30/rum…5:29 PM

A lot to unpack from the LaMelo @SLAM Magazine quotes.
Firstly, interesting Melo seems to want more offensive responsibility, he’s currently 42nd in the NBA in usage.
Secondly, interesting he speaks so openly about the need for a center, might not be popular with all his teammates pic.twitter.com/dItqOONqVs5:22 PM

There’s only one Julius Randle trade to consider — a salary dump. That’s all you can get right now, which is why you shouldn’t make that trade – 3:35 PM

#Cavs announce rookie C/F Evan Mobley (sprained right ankle) will not accompany the team on the trip to Atlanta and New York for games against the Hawks Thursday and Knicks Saturday. Underwent an MRI – 3:33 PM
Kelsey Russo @kelseyyrusso
#Cavs say Evan Mobley had an MRI for the left ankle sprain, which confirmed the injury. Mobley will go through treatment and rehab and his return to play will be updated.
He is out for tonight against Dallas, and will not travel with the Cavs to Atlanta and New York. – 3:33 PM

📅 On this day in 1979, the @Golden State Warriors Robert Parish had 30 points, 32 rebounds, and five assists in a 114-98 win over the Knicks.
Parish is one of only three players since the ABA-NBA merger to record at least 30p/30r/5a in a game (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kevin Love). pic.twitter.com/4cSTpAuIH02:01 PM
