If people are really up in arms about not resigning Randle as a 1 year rental, and that's it, I can see where they're coming from. But I don't...
Maybe we sneak into the 8th seed. But then what? Get swept by the Warriors in the first round? I'd rather have the lottery pick, which we can use...
I agree with this. But I'm operating under the assumption that Randle takes the same Pelican's deal for the purposes of this discussion, which...
There's always the risk of Randle opting into his player option. I also don't think he really wanted to be here after how Luke treated him. But...
I apologize if my posts are coming across that way to you. Maybe my clarification above will clear things up.
Sounds good, "your honor"
First off, thanks for the sentiment and the kind words. I'm always open to debate. I enjoy it and that's why I'm here. But I'm going strongly...
FO might be a mess. But I'm not considering that piece since it'll be true no matter what we do. The only strategy is to go all in on signing a...
It's objectively true. Superstars are a rare breed. Only 5-10 of them MAYBE exist in the NBA. We are so fortunate to have one again, and that too...
Nobody is saying any of that. James doesn't need 4 all stars. People said he was done last year and he got to the finals carrying a Cavs team...
We might have to give up something with him. You never know. Teams might see how desperate we are to move him and leverage more out of us. It's...
Uhh, that wasn't even in response to you. I've outlined very clearly earlier in this thread that teams generally employ 2 ways to win. 1) Draft...
What are you talking about? You're using this stat that isn't even designed to rank players in a vacuum, to do that exact thing, and show our...
Do you seriously think James isn't good enough to be a primary option on a championship team? I fail to see the point you're making. As Laker...
Every championship team has this. It's a prerequisite. If you think we can win a championship with a team of Russell, Randle, Zubac, Nance,...
I don't understand this. If the whole point was to sign Randle just so we can move him, why not just keep the cap space anyways? We would have...
What control do we have? All those scenarios people outlined STILL involved the pipe dream of getting Leonard and Davis!
We did not draft 10/10, and I'm including the fact that we didn't get any #1 picks. The fact is we didn't draft A SINGLE superstar in the draft....
These advanced stats don't tell you anything. LeBron put up 27/8/8 in arguably the best season any 16th year player has EVER had. He was the only...
I agree. But the FO has signaled its time to get ride of the 20 year olds and bring in the stars, which I also agree with. The problem is when...
