You gonna have to let that Randle crush go breh.



He's a good backup PF...that's where it ends:hubie:
he's one of the better defenders at his position this year, its no coincidence all of the team's best lineups contain him. He's more valuable than Oak. :francis:

"He's more valuable" on a team that has the 9th worst record in the League is an oxymoron breh. What...without Randle, we'd have the 7th worst record in the L?:ohhh:


The team is trash.


However, Okafor, talent for talent, is better than Randle. Adding Okafor for simply a 2nd round pick would only make the team better....not worse.

Kanter on NYK:

64% FG, 14 ppg, 10.2 rebs.....26 mpg. Knicks are 10-10.



I don't know what NBA yall watching, but again...there's no such thing as "too much talent" for a team extremely devoid of it.

It's up to the coach to put your talent in the best position, and the lesser players (Lopez, Bogut, Zubac, Nance, Randle) will have to find their way...not the other way around.

Trading a 2nd round pick to place Okafor on the Lakers would make the team better. Not worse.




And nobody has explained HOW giving up a 2nd round pick for Okafor would make us a worse team.
well. for one's he a FA after the season. a 2nd rounder dead ass will be cheaper to retain and could probably address specific needs, like shooting. bottom line, Okafor wouldnt even play on this roster...Brook is better, and you cant play him with Nance or Randle cause shooting. Horrible rim protector, abused in PNR, not a good passer. I cant think of a worse fit at C.

the defensive has improved drastically from last year though, and he is a part of that. Okafor simply has not been good and has only shown flashes of scoring in the post. Okafor cant even garner a 2nd roudn from any team in the league, thats pretty telling. the team would become worse defensively if he got any substantial minutes, and he just doesnt fit what Luke tryna do. Brook can score in the paint easily, but Luke has him on the 3pt line cause spacing.

My only issue with getting Okafor right now is they need to clear some players first and I think they would alienate him in free agency going after Cousins.

Lopez is better....with his 4 pts/4 rebs a game over the last 3 games average:ohhh:



Ok, we'll revisit this down the line.:hubie:

That's literally all we need is a big that can guarantee a bucket.

Not turn the ball over, try to dribble up the court, or camp at the perimeter

Okafor can score and score well. We've proven that EFFORT can make anybody defensively better. Most of the people off the bench are shyt defensively anyway aside from maybe Hart.

Plus Okafor only been in the league 2 years and is apparently being blackballed in Philly. We got nikkas that haven't gotten better in 4 years getting knob slobbed where a talented big who can consistently score efficiently is not getting any recognition of playing time.

I personally think we have too many bigs atm though. We need shooters.

And honestly, we don't even give Thomas Bryant any play. Dude plays with a lot of energy, is intelligent, is willing to listen to Lonzo, and can score in multiple ways yet he's stuck in the d-league.
you clearly havent watched okafor play. and its funny you mention efficiency because all of our current bigs score just as efficiently if not more.

Im not even thinking of the Lakers getting any elite players in FA....we haven't gotten an elite player since D12 (:francis:).



Until we actually get one, Im not even going to go hypothetical with the FA pickups bc we always end up with a random player instead.

Might not get anyone again, but they've made it clear that's their focus going into the summer. :hubie:

This is the first time in a while they have some legit pieces. Ingram's showed quite a bit of growth and Kuzma is a baller. Clarkson's one of the best sixth men in the league. Nance, KCP and Randle have been good role players this year.

If Ball stops playing like a scrub and shows anything later in the year, they're a fairly attractive FA destination in my biased opinion. :hubie:

I don't want to get rid of any of the core pieces. That's a difference in between last year and now. I just want to add as much talent as we can to make this rebuild much smoother.


I just think moving our 2nd round pick for Okafor would be better than picking up another Anthony Brown, and then acquiring a Cousins or a PG as a big FA splash.


I guess Im just tired of waiting....we've been dying slowly since 2010:mjcry:


Our heart is beating now, but we still on the breathing machine:to:
