I don't know about that real. I don't think Smart and Randle belong in the same sentence in terms of talent and value.
Interesting read but as the article says, there are 7 teams with significant cap space and Julius is definitely a Top 7 free agent.
Julius Randle will sign for much more than $8.8M @vasashi17
I can't express how disappointed I'd be if we trade Julius for cap space and end up giving DeAndre the max. What's his max, like $35M? OMG that...
OK I don't disagree with that, but that still sounds like the window for signing 2 stars is much narrower than signing 1. And we might as well...
How hopeful are you in signing 2 max FA's now that Boogie's gone though? I think the window is narrower than signing 1 max FA.... actually more...
I think the Roberson injury changes everything. OKC have just lost 4 straight without him and they're 1.5 games away from the 8th seed. They could...
We got 3 lottery picks last year. This is crazy.
Julius > Melo
Precisely why I don't want him anywhere near our team.
If you had to choose which player you prefer at that price with a gun to your head? :)
You've got to be kidding.... They had a team meeting because Love was sick and stayed home for 1 game... all while Rose has been gone since...
Question: Who would you rather sign for $18-20M/4yrs? Julius Randle or Clint Capela?
I agree. The bottom line is that a Deng Dump doesn't make us any better. It actually makes us worse by losing one of our best players in Randle....
@abeer3 1) Randle is roughly equal to DeAndre and JC is equal to Lou on the open market. 2) Ingram+Ball+Kuzma can fetch a megastar(s). No such...
No to Boogie.
Seems like now's the time to strike, Lopez + Clarkson for Love!
Clippers doom? :Magic2:
If DeAndre is in our future Randle is the one that needs to go due to fitment. Kuzma would work much better next to DeAndre.
Hmm, DeAndre has a player option next year so he could end up a rental. Maybe if he opts in? Either way I think we have to include JC or Randle...
