Julius Randle signs with New Orleans Pelicans; 2 yr, $18M

[Larry]

Yea that was harsh lol

But i mean, what does he bring to the table outside of doninating the ball and bruising his way to the cup?


unless he was content with playing behind Kuzma and being a defense guy off the bench there was no reason for him to be here


And if anyone here was taking him over Kuzma, they should be banned. Kuzma is the Lakers starting power forward. Period

These salaries confusing the shyt outta me

he improved a lot last season. he's a pretty good passer too

 

[Easy-E]

Not true, breh.

No way AD wants Randle > Boogie

Either Demarcus is resigning or this is a concession signing

I've never even heard good things about him from Laker's Stan Gawd Artesticles (@CantStop)

 

[ProlificLurker]

Randle and Ad bout to be unstoppable offensively and defensively.



All they need is a competent 2 and 3 and they looking like a force in the West.

They set at the 2guard between Jrue Holiday and E'Twaun Moore.

Major hole at SF tho. IDK how much they believe in Elfrid Peyton, but the Pels would be best to go after a good back up PG and a starting caliber 3&D wing

 

[blockboy504]

AD wanted Monty; fired him

AD wanted Rondo; signed Elfrid Payton

AD wanted Boogie; signed Julius Randle

2020, I ain't beggin him to stay...I'll understand

Overreacting dawg wait and see

Lakers paying KCP 12 mil over Randle 9

Lakers only handing out one year deals. Randle must’ve wanted two.

It's funny how Laker fans assume because a guy was on their team that they're good

That's classic Laker fan

I remember when they got Pau, LWO was pissed they traded Javaris Crittendon cause "he had next"

Currently doing 25 years for murder and moving keys

I swear to god, I'm never going to let them live the "I guess we'd trade for Kahwi... but not if it means giving up Brandon Ingram " shyt down

He would have been worth keeping in 2019-2020 at 9mil. I was thinking he wanted 15-20m per year

 

[brownsugah]

This off-season is just too much for me to handle.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Lakers don’t even want to give that up for Kawhi, who is already vastly superior to a healthy Cousins.

Of course the lakers would give up Ingram/or Kuzma and Lonzo for Kawhi. The Spurs just don’t want Ball.

 

[Osmosis]

Odd fit, but at that price on only two years that's a great value contract. Below market deal.

Now I wonder what Parker gets? Have him, Randle and Gordon in the same tier as far as talent goes. Gordon got 21mill per yr, Randle got 9. Maybe Jabari gunna get somewhere around 15mill from somebody

I would say Gordon and Randle are slightly better because both are coming off career seasons. Jabari kinda struggled this year both with health and performance.

 

[Dwight Howard]

Lakers fans really upset Randle is leaving

Lmfao...


I done seen it all..


Y’all convinced his outdated skill set having ass was the one, huh?


He can’t shoot, needs the ball to create and doesn’t stretch the floor which makes him fukkin redundant in a Lebron led offense. On top of all that, he has a MUCH BETTER guy in Kuzma - playing behind him..


Y’all expected his bum ass to come off the bench?



Sad to see him go but if he dies he dies. Good riddance you 1 dimensional undersized bum

He averaged 20/10 after AS break when his minutes went up, and the Lakers were a .500 team. He can’t space floor but at worst he a a much better version of Thompson, with ball handling and passing skills. Tristian didn’t prevent Bron from winning so your whole argument is null and void
