    Read today in the Rag Times that Clarkson definitely being asked to play in Summer League with Randle and who knows who else. Wouldn't hurt Kelly either with all the time he has missed due to injuries. Work on some moves to where he can create shots better if needed rather than just catch and shoot. Not doing all that badly in that area but definitely could step his game up. Work on his passing as well. Work! Work! Work! Work! For gawd's sake we are losing Jack at court side, it's so bad.

    Could very well be the best Big 3 in Summer League history

    How funny would it have been if when Bosh and lebron went to Miami to join Wade, they all played in Summer league together?

    Just watch this video simply to witness his incredible handles. WOW, what potential! I had to post this after reading that great article Kevin Ding wrote on Bleacher Report about Randle wanting and willing to carry the torch after the Kobe era closes it's doors.

    Hoping we have Larry Johnson 2.0 and Brandon Roy 2.0 (Randle and Russell) leading our team into the next decade and beyond.

    Good stuff! Killer crossovers for a big guy. First time I've seen those clips. Really high quality and great colors.

    Wow looks like Chris Kaman has been hitting the juice in Portland! That holiday in Miami sure worked wonders for him - lol.

    Seriously Julius Randle will be a force in this league for years to come. Do not give him up for anything - future Laker fan fave.

    Probably still in rehab mode, while working a bit on conditioning and strength. He probably won't touch a basketball for another month or two.

    Yeah; I can't imagine him taking jumpers now when we haven't seen him/heard of him doing any actual basketball stuff for awhile.

    He's running on those Alter G treadmills right now I believe. I doubt he's doing much shooting right now.

    More Lakers "family" doin' work .... Scott's son.

    LOVE the description of what's going on with Randle's mindset and work ethic in coming back from this injury. Hitting the weights, treatment, working on his shooting form while not being able to jump and coming in at "night". Sounds like he really may be somewhat cut from the same mold as Kobe who has no doubt been in his ear. I imagine as well he also beats the hell out of the ball with various drills he can do at the moment to keep his handles sharp and improving while waiting to run again.

    I'm excited because Randle mentioned that he wants to work out with Kobe this Summer and I'm sure Kobe will show him a lot more things at that time. Maybe even his "Blackout" workout...

    It is a workout that is so intense if you are an African-American, you turn Caucasian. :giggle:
