General Tso Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 1 hour ago, redsoxsuck05 said: I don't think they have bird rights for I-Hart, so he would be wise to go somewhere like OKC where he can still win and get much more money. Role players coming off career years shouldn't be taking discounts. The problem(s) with Randle is that he's almost 30, he's often injured, he's really streaky, and he sucks in the playoffs. People talk about what teams would give up for him, but I think the Knicks would have to give up something to get him taken off our hands. Mitch is another limited player who often deals with injuries. Problem is that he has ambitions to be a 30 min a game starter. I think Randle can still be the 2nd option on that team. I do not like it if Bridges becomes the 2nd option. Randle can still get a bucket, you can't just rely on Brunson to be the sole creator.

Sllim Pickens Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I love seeing how all of these teams giving away tons of picks and young players has blown up in their faces. KD being moved for Bridges, Johnson and a bunch of picks and the Suns would likely be better off if they just kept both of Bridges and Johnson. The Clippers trading SGA and a bunch of picks for Paul George and SGA is now a top 5 player in the league. Minnesota sends a ton of picks and players for Gobert who has helped some but is a liability in the playoffs and the reason they advanced is more to do with Ant and KAT playing well. The Cavs getting Mitchell has been decent but not a ton of results and Lauri meanwhile is turning into a very good player and is not threatening to blow up the team by leaving. Harden obviously hasn't worked out in all of the situations that gave up their futures for him. It's refreshing to see that fail so much in hopes of teams building and winning more organically or at least just through free agency opposed to going all in and ruining the next five years. Its great to see a star or two drafted by a team with a balanced roster that fits around them is better than 3 max deals and scrubs to fill the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just need to be healthy. I think Randle can work on this team and maybe be the primary 2nd option but the fact they have Bridges and OG and Divincenzo they have other options if Randle is off. And hopefully that will keep Randle more engaged when he is off because the team still has a chance. If they can't bring OG back, I think they will be in a similar spot as last year though.

OG was the X-Factor that made the team worth a damn. Even if Mikal can provide a similar skillset, you can never have enough Uber-elite role players. As I said, we need to go all in on fit to make up for the talent gap between us and the other contenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be one thing if he were still 25, but he's turning 30 this year and is extremely reliant on uber athleticism Lol freak late season injuries = has trouble staying healthy for an entire season apparently now. If you wanna say that Middleton can't stay healthy, sure, but he's been there each playoff series the last two years, which is what matters most. An offseason of normalcy will do wonders for Lillard as well. Those three together did damage when on the court. We're far better than the Lakers lmao. Wish y'all the best but we're still a major contender until Giannis leaves town/retires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Knicks have out grown Randle. If they bring OG back which will happen(His agent is the son of Leon Rose) where would you play Randle? Also he would just clog up the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Lowe's column suggested today that they should let him start but stagger his minutes so he plays mostly with the 2nd unit to be the primary scoring option for them with those guys.

He'd be fantastic in that role, but his ego (can't blame him, he's 29 and still puts up big numbers) will prevent him from playing a role like that. Same thing with Mitch. I know the guy wants to prove he can put up 20-10 every night and shoot 3's. Edited June 26 by redsoxsuck05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) Not gonna work cause of ego and then you’re sitting him down to close games. Mikal should be the guy they lean on to lead that second unit. Also it’s smart to trade Randle so they can add some depth to that team Edited June 26 by agarcia34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinneasGage Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 i really don't want orlando to sign klay thompson. unless it's like a team 1+1 deal that's like 15/15. and even that i'd just be like ok i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Weaver would've been dumb enough to trade Jaden Ivey for him maybe, but he's gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxsuck05 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) Ok so OG's return was clearly never in doubt lol. Kind of funny that a guy with such mediocre box score stats gets $212M, but we went 27-6 with him! Guess he's our Tayshaun Prince.
