On board with Randle. As much limitations as he has with his size and wingspan he's got at least 2 things that you can't teach

1. Physical advantage with his speed and strength combination

2. Desire to work hard

Based on that alone, he'll end up a good player. Would I pay him a max extension? No way. But sign him to a JC type long term deal? Absolutely.

Ok, I get the idea that Randle is fast for a PF, but I don't know if he's really that much stronger than your average starting PF. He has good handles for a PF, but they're not amazing. My problem with Randle is that if you think of him as an SF, his skill set looks middling at best. Supposedly his strength makes up for his lack of height and length, but I don't know if there's really any truth to that.

If Randle has a major strength, it's finishing in traffic around the rim against weak/average defenders. In every other aspect he's average or maybe above average at best. I see him as a really dynamic 7th man, but not as part of a big three or starting lineup.

Tristan Thompson missed Tuesday's practice for a dental appointment after having his two front teeth pushed back during Monday's win over the Lakers.
Thompson will need to wear braces for a couple weeks, but he's not expected to spend any time on the sidelines. Owners can expect to get official confirmation on his status following Wednesday morning's shootaround


Julius handiwork in front of his GF Chewbacka and her family lol

Uncalled for! As Lakers fans we are supposed to be better than this!!!

But since we are on this topic, I think Julius might have to get his blood tested for the next few months... Just to be safe...

Very low energy in the first half. Glad Luke benched him after Blake beat him to a 50/50 ball

He doesn't even know that he's playing himself off the team. This isn't Kupchak's Lakers anymore. Pelinka sounded less than thrilled when speaking about our young core and he has no attachment to Randle.

That one play where he charged straight into Speights for the offensive foul is pretty much a microcosm of his entire approach to the game of basketball.

Actually it was that play where he was under the basket, trapped by four defenders, and tried to layup and got blocket by the rotting corpse of Paul Pierce

It was from behind after he got an offensive rebound if memory serves correctly. He was 1-5 in the first half. 4 of those shots were jumpers, 2 were three pointers, and one of those two was after he got the ball in the backcourt with a few 3 seconds left before the end of the quarter, dribbled to the front court and launched a three.
