No way I let this version of Randle go. That few minute stretch at the end of the first half was amazing. Young man is growing up fast.
Beautiful game tonight. Triple double. 9 of 13 shooting and some really good defense. He was setting the table for others all night long. Even lost a gimme assist when Kuz blew that dunk possibility.
Kid should be our top, summer priority. Well, maybe a "1b project" given our interest in George. If we lose him, i'll be furious.
I'll be fine as long as we get LeBron and George. If we lose him and don't land those two, I'll be pretty displeased.
In that scenario, this scenario... The Randle Bully Ball Show in full flight last night. His court awareness isn't that bad with those nice passes for scores with Ingram and Kuzma. I don't recall a charging call last night even...
these past few months who gave him fits? Davis? It seems he bullies everyone down in the low post. It looks painful for defenders to stay with him
I felt the need to post this to balance my hate from the last game, because I watched the replay of the game late last night and Randle was fantastic
Luke had been allergic to playing Randle big minutes all season. I have a feeling he’ll get an offer in the first few days of FA and we’ll have to decide what to do immediately. PG and Lebron will be umming and ahhing all summer, and there’s a good chance we end up with none of the 3 because of it.
and i thought i was the negative one lol....rob/magic can discuss the plans wuth randle n let him know of their intentions for him. if they want him back im sure they can come to some amicable agreement to let rob n magic chase tje 2 1st and circle back to randle after. ....sounds to good to be true but its happened multiple times already. When parsons was with hou he was going to wait till hou signed bosh 1st and would circle back to him but i guess since bosh ended up resigning with mia that ur dall came with a crazy offer that hou wouldnt match since they couldnt get bosh
Randle could eff us over if he wants to and the "wink wink" deal of trying to get him to wait is technically illegal, but I could see it for sure.
hou made it apparent thats what they were doing with parson n nothing happened with them but yea since its la theyll probably take draft picks from us lol....also i think we'll have some time on our side....i see most team chasing Gordon 1st n then looking at randle if/when orl matches
I just think Dallas or someone akin will give him a max or close to RFA deal pretty quick. We have a week to match I believe? I can’t see Lebron and George deciding what they’ll do in the first month. It’ll be the same rubbish each FA does every year - umming and ahhing till the end of FA.
took kd 1 week n hayward....if we're chasing pg, we should have a definitive answer rather quickly since hes also randles agent, would be in his best interest to make ensure both his clients get what they want and where...n from what ive been reading its a 1 week time frame before theres any actual signing can happen once fa period starts, plus another 2-3 days for us to match randle. on top of that id hope magic/rob would.know how to gm the system even before fa meetings happens, you cant honestly believe cp3 decided in 1 day to go from opting out n then opting back in to be traded to hou last yr. that was probably months in advance of back channel talks, look at all the "fake non guranteed" player signing hou did before we even heard a peep bout cp3 trade
My meaningless vote is we do what we have to to keep Randle. Been trying to talk myself into stomaching LeBron but just can't get there. George is coming, keep our guys and keep our eyes open for opportunity.
It would be great if everyone decided quickly. That way we won’t be in a situation where we let Randle walk just to wait on a decision from the other two.
Hopefully Randle also cares about being competitive as possible and will factor in addition to what Lakers can give him vs what Dallas can..... which roster he would rather be on. Still hoping as well the wife lays down the law and tells him you're not going to play for those sexual harassing no good emm effers.
He'll stay if we promise him a fair contract, which isn't possible if we go after both Lebron and George. Don't make the same mistake of d***ing him around. Keep it simple. Sign Randle and George.
