randles handle will improve with experience. his jumper needs work, so once he starts hitting them w/ consistancy (pau gasol is now a legit 3pt shooter lmao compared to the d'antoni days) he can utilize his speed to get to the rim since players will have to play him closer. pretty much everything we already know, so i wouldnt trade him. at least not for guys like aaron gordon, exum, smart or vonleh. i would tho for lavine and saric

Boston calls and offers Marcus Smart straight up for Randle, would you do that?

Laugh before hanging up or hang up then laugh.


Then call back, laugh, say, "Were you serious?", laugh again and hang up.

I really liked Randle's exit interview; he seems like a very coachable player.

IMO while his jumper needs work it is better than Blake Griffins was at his age.

HE also doesn't have a hitch in his shot.

Randles ft % in year 2 is already better than Blake's was his first 6 seasons which IMO is very telling of shooting form.

Not only till this season did Blake improve (7th season) in that category.

Another one is 3pointers. Until this season Blake never made more than 12 3 pointers in a season. Randle passed that in his second season.

That being said I would trade Randle For Aaron Gordon.

But I wouldn't get rid of Randle to sign Blake.

Randle is the most likely one to go out in a trade. I don't think the Lakers are going to want to pay him what he is going to ask for.

because he is.

Combine that with his talent and work ethic and passion to be great and you got a player that if he remains healthy should reach their potential with the proper coaching and goals, and he has that in Walton.

If he has earned it why wouldn't they?

To be honest, if Randle played up to be worth a max contract next season it befuddles me that some Lakers fans would be mad about it.

Yeah I like Randle.

He improved this season in areas we need to see him get better.

I've said it before but if it comes down to randle vs Blake. Gimme Randle any day at this point. Taking into account injuries, age, timeline.

That being said if all it takes to get PG or Butler this summer is randle and Houston pick, you gotta make the move.

If that's the case then this FO will show they are clueless. You don't trade cheap young players on the way up, you do it when they can actually bring a good return. That would be incredibly stupid.

Or you could wait a year and get George in free agency.

I don't think there's any argument that we're a stronger team if we wait a year to get George than we would be, trading youth to get him. Stronger team means bigger chance to get him.

There's an old saying

"Don't trade a young Robin, for an older Robin. Especially when the young Robin still has the chance to wear the cowl."


I'll roll the dice on our young team continuing to progress next season. We'll have an answer at the end of the season. If the youngsters progress next season and we're a solid team, we have a legitimate shot to get Paul George if we look on the verge. However if they don't and we don't have a chance to get Paul George, in it's own way we also have our answer as to whether or not we'd have been able to keep him.

The benefit is that if our players show out, they do it on our team, not on another one, and we're stronger because of it and a better looking destination.

Speaking of which let's look at the post ASB numbers from Myles Turner and Julius Randle, Turner obviously has more blocks, and plays center and rim protection. But let's look at the other ones.

Myles Turner Post ASB Numbers

12 PPG
7.4 REB
1.7 AST

49% Field Goal
27.3% From Three
32.4 MPG

Julius Randle Post ASB Numbers

13.7 PPG
9.7 REB
3.6 AST

48.6% Field Goal
28.2% From Three
30 MPG

Keep in mind how Turner is known as a stretch big and considered one of the most promising young talents in the NBA.

If Turner is, then Julius is on the path as well, but as a better passer. What shocked me the most is the three point percentages. But just something to look at.

Randle also shot better post ASB from three than Porzingis (26.4%) which again, was a surprise to me. Randle is truly under the radar with how good he's been, particularly post ASB.

Never ceases to amaze me how so many here just blatantly ignore how much he grew as a player this year.

People claimed his mid range shot would never improve. Now he's shooting threes with confidence.

People said his alleged t-rex arms would prevent him from being a strong finisher around the rim against length. Now he does it with regularity.

People said he wouldn't grow out of his out of control tendencies in the open floor. Now he does a great job of recognizing when to play like the Hulk and when to finesse when he's on the move and around the rim.

People said he was selfish and wouldn't change his game in a more pass-friendly system. Now Luke plays him at the top of the floor in most of their sets and allows him to direct traffic and make reads, just like Draymond does in GS's offense.

Despite the improvement in all of these areas, people still critique his game like he's the same player he was last year under Byron. He's the PF of the future. He'll be even better next season and the Lakers would regret it if they traded him, especially for a one-year rental player like George who they could sign as a free agent in another year without having to give anything away.

if any GM manages to squeeze *both* Randle and DLO (not to mention the pick), they're going to look like a genius in a few years and Magic will appropriately be seen as a fraud.

Randle and Turner has some crazy potential as a front-court. Turner is the one guy that mitigates the urgency of Randle developing a jump shot. If they can add DLO and the top 3 pick as well, that's a terrifying team in a couple years, and much better than the one we'll be rolling out.

There is a big difference between trading for talent and trading because you are chicken (bleep) scared to pay them. And that was the scenario in the post I responded to.

You can't ignore defense and cherry pick box score numbers. Lets look at the cumulative stats.

Turner: +2.55 Real Plus Minus (#7 center in the league)
Randle: -1.81 Real Plus Minus (#67 PF in the league)

They are NOT comparable players. Randle's defense is horrible, Turner's defense is excellent. And defense is extremely important for front court players.

Bottom line for Randle is this. He has to get much, much better defensively. He has made some encouraging strides offensively this season (his offense is still not great, but I'm not worried about him too much on that end). He has not made significant strides defensively. The worst part about his defense is that he fails at simple rotations.

randles handle will improve with experience. his jumper needs work, so once he starts hitting them w/ consistancy (pau gasol is now a legit 3pt shooter lmao compared to the d'antoni days) he can utilize his speed to get to the rim since players will have to play him closer. pretty much everything we already know, so i wouldnt trade him. at least not for guys like aaron gordon, exum, smart or vonleh. i would tho for lavine and saric


you dont trade randle for zach lavine. unless zach starts showing you some serious defense. until then. thats a wasted move.

if zach never plays any better d than he is now but his offense gets better. he still wont be better than randle's overall contribution. remember randle is giving your rebounds too, along with assists and solid pick and roll defense, especially on the switch. his interior defense needs a ton of work.
lavine right now isnt giving you a thing on defense, team or man to man.

Clarkson is the most likely one to go out in a trade. I don't think the Lakers are going to want to pay him what he is going to ask for.



Fully agree.


Judah do you still think Lakers shouldn't trade Randle for Aaron Gordon?

You never answered me after your comment.

I think his opinion was obvious. That would be a horrible trade.

really think Randle is that much better than Gordon?

Damn I must be seeing something different with Gordon.

If anything they are pretty equal... Ill have to reassess
