I mean after Randle is gone or is traded somehow
I still don't like Randle tbh :yeshrug:
There is a thin line between Randle and Dubious Handles for me
We'll see how selfless he is this season
There were still too many games where RJ was due for a big scoring game and they didn't feed him the ball
Hopefully with Kemba, Fournier, and new skills RJ starts getting the ball more and is more aggressive
I expect we will get close to the finished product by 25 for RJ
But they need to start getting and keeping him in rythm
Perfect example was the first game of last season against the Pacers
RJ had an incredible 1st half and I still didn't think they fed him the ball enough (20 in the 1st half)
2nd half they barely gave him the ball
Payton :snoop:

I'm willing to give Jules a shot he consciously made an effort to pass last season. Thankfully Payton is gone and I do also believe RJ will be looked at more as the number 2 scorer with Ev and Kemba as the playmakers. Randle will hopefully not be bringing up the roc as much or holding it as much anymore either. I'm hoping he becomes more of a finisher.

Rj does need to be more aggressive in pulling the trigger like Quickly is slowly starting to do though.

We need to focus on the now and what needs to be fixed this season. I think McBride will be our starting point guard in the future. I like the future of IQ and Toppin so we'll see.
Grimes and Bride will be to this team what Frank and Knox were supposed to be with even more upside.

i'm good with the squad we got now. glad we didn't force any trades or gut our core for any "big name" player. it's refreshing to watch homegrown talent grow together as a team.

would've liked to have Lonzo but can't complain with Kemba/IQ/McBride.

our salary cap still loaded and i'm confident RJ will take a leap this year.

excited to see Mitch back. resigning Noel should put pressure on him to show out.

Randle got the bag. can't hate. he earned it. salute!

not sold on Obi or Grimes yet. summer league is one thing... ask Knox.

we might fukk around and end up with a better record than last year...

:lawd:
