The New York Knicks are struggling immensely and with the February 10th Trade Deadline quickly approaching, there are definitely rumors they could be making some changes. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen, but Julius Randle's name has come up as a possible player on the roster who may be moved.

Randle, who won Most Improved Player of the Year last season, had a rather heated exchange on Friday with a reporter who brought up the idea of him being traded by the Knicks in the next week.

Randle wanted to hear where exactly these reports were coming from and when the reporter didn't have a definitive answer, another member of the media chimed in. Nonetheless, it's pretty clear the Knicks forward doesn't want to hear any of it.

To be frank, it's probably unlikely New York trades Randle. While his numbers this season are substantially lower than last, he's still one of their most productive scorers and rebounders. The former Kentucky standout signed a four-year, $117 million extension with the Knicks last August after he helped lead them to the No. 3 seed in the East in 2020/21.

I guess it will ultimately come down to what type of offers the team receives for Randle but it would have to be mighty good to part ways with a guy they just locked up for the foreseeable future.
