Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
He has improved each year and Magic made the team reach a certain level of body fat.

How would paying randle kill the team long term?..they would still have the ability to sign a max FA, would have randle's bird rights, and bring in another max player once deng contract is off the books (in 2019)...even if they just bring in PG...the team would be set nicely for years to come

Lonzo
PG/Hart
Ingram
Randle/Kuzma
??


Thats a bright future imo and the talent we have now is all trending upwards

Magic doesn't want JUST PG13, and the other guy he wants would most likely play PF or would want Kuzma there for spacing :troll:


Deng's contract is until the summer of 2020 and if the Mavs are willing to give Randle a max, you're ok with matching that? :ld:

Thaddeus Young / Terrence Jones type of PF that doesn't do much for you.



Do you still think Thon Maker is gonna be a superstar and Andrew Wiggins is Kobe? :ohhh:


:ohhh: I'm pretty sure you thought he was gonna be a star in the NBA as well. You were high on him before the draft.

And FTR, my initial impression of him was that he was too ugly to be a star in the NBA. You remember that thread? I know you remember cause you were on his balls back then.

I should have stuck with my initial impression of Wiggins as a ugly scrub. However, I was in Kobe withdrawal back then and was desperate for a wing player to emerge that could provide as much entertainment as Kobe did. Now I know better.

I dont think the FO would match a max but I could be wrong. Either way, it wouldnt bother me. He only 23 and will get better. Less productive players (wes matthews, Parson, Barnes) have gotten paid more. I would be content with just signing 1 max cause I think Ingram can be a top 15 player.

I dont think randle has shown enough to warrant a max but if thats what is being offered what can you do?..obviously decide not to match, but you kinda want to keep your own talent. I dont want bron in LA period, but I dont make those calls.

I said he has star potential, you said he's more talented than Kobe :mjlol:

I don't see @CantStop calling every flashy guard the next Kobe or more talented than him, you went off code there by saying he'd be better than Bean that should get you kicked out the church of number 24.

I like Lonzo and Ingram a lot, I'm not at all high on Randle and don't see the big appeal. The PF spot is currently the weakest position in the league and he's not a difference maker to the point the Lakers should be matching big offers for him.

The Mavs have him on their radar and he's from Dallas, matching for him is :ld: because he's doing these things in a contract year.

This is the mistake ya'll make. I ain't loyal to Kobe. I'm only loyal to the entertainment Kobe provided me for nearly 20 years.

If a new guy comes along with the same type of athleticism and skill, I'mma fukk wit him because I care about the entertainment value of basketball moreso than just hero-worshipping a guy.

This dude just compared Randle to Thaddeus Young and Terrence Jones?


:hhh:


"doesn't do much for you"

Our record is like 5 games above .500 when he's starting or actually it might be better than that.

Maybe you should go take a look at Thad's best seasons :mjgrin:


You don't even know what their record is in the 33 games he's started? :wtf:

I've seen this movie before, if you don't resign him you're gonna act like he doesn't exist like D'Angelo, remember when you would argue with me about whether or not he had superstar potential and I said he didn't? When's the last time you made a post about Snitchy? :mjlol:

Let me ask you this,

Who's more likely to be an all star, Jabari or Randle?

:shaq:


Randle is a beast. His work ethic:wow:

His finishing :wow:

His man to man defense :wow:


All this without a jumpshot

No surprise, Randle is able to do this with a stretch 5. Feggit ass Mozwoat took too much space.

Jabari as long as he stays next to Giannis and gets those residual votes. It took Jabari tearing his knee a second time, and you all waiting a year before you could even restart this argument? Bari was out in Feb, and even yall were calling Randle trash, until the contract year of course. Even then Jabari is putting up 13/5 in 22mpg while shooting 47% from three over his last 10.



And what happens to Randle when Lopez is gone next year? :mjgrin:

No threepointer, no shot blocking and being 6'9 is a recipe for disaster in the NBA if he doesn't have Lopez next to him shooting threes.

Lopez has been in the post recently with randle floating in the high post or the near the baseline and it has generally worked. Luke is a good enough coach to move the bigs around to get the best from randle.

Lopez is taking 5 threes a game over his last 20 games :ld:


If you have a center that can't float outside and shoot it will clog the lane for Randle.

No heart to @ people, just like you were too shook to @ the mod who bushes your garbage threads :mjlol:


Larry Nance still the best PF from the draft? TJ Leaf still the best PF from the draft? You had Leaf going before guys like Donovan Mitchell just cause he rocks a yammy.
