Julius Randle went to the Kings practice court to work on free throws after the game. He was 0-for-5 from the line tonight. |

| Not a bad stretch of games for a guy whom a small group of posters claimed about be out of the league by next season. |

| I think he's going to be in his prime from next season, til about 2024. The difference in his ability to finish came from having more pop, do to weight loss and gaining leg strength. Remember his rookie year when everyone wished he was able to finish with a dunk off vertical like Brandon Bass... he's able to have that pop consistently now. I don't think he has that pop consistently after ~28 years old. Most players lose a little vert around that age. Paul George, Deandre, Harden, Blake in large amount , Demarcus, even Anthony Davis is a taddddd less explosive this year, Clarkson was a high flyer rookie year. Miles make you sore... I think Julius needs all of the bounce to finish with this success. |

For example if Dallas offers 4 years/60-70m we can tell Julius to not sign it, but promise on good faith we will offer that same contract after we sign or whiff on the max guys.
Is this wishful thinking? |
I am sure that if the FO assures JR that they will pay him in a starting role he will wait on an offer sheet. |
I hope so I don't want to lose anymore of the young pups

His shots around hte rim look clunky but he has really nice, soft touch. I'm almost always confident it's going in even in traffic.

Although it sounds crazy, the gap is definitely shrinking. |

The "Per 36 Minutes" numbers are interesting, I woudn't go as far as saying he's better than Towns, that's typical overrating (let's just look at their offensive ratings), but the numbers are pretty good !!! |

| Only thing Julius really needs to develop is that jump shot. He’s got time though. Plenty of guys don’t have that at his age and develop it. Not a lot of guys can do the other things Julius does. |

He’s getting more than that. That’s less than the full MLE. sloppy work on their part again. |
Yeah, anything below MLE is absurd. I think that his cap hold actually should be the mean and ends up somewhere right above or below that hopefully. |
I agree. But it is worth noting that non-centers who can't space and Centers who don't rim protect have heavy bias against them in free agency. Randle was also known to be available in trade and didn't get moved. Outside of Dallas there may not be another non-MLE offer out there. And Dallas could go in a bunch of directions. |
and that's because their play style isn't ideal in today's NBA. Randle's RPM is -0.2 despite his nice per 36 numbers. He's the #44 PF in the league in RPM. |
Mike Muscala is #1. Cheick Diallo is #2. Marvin Williams is #3. Might not be the best way to measure a player's impact.

Towns is by far the better talent, but IMO Randle knows what works for him and what works for our team. Towns strays from the paint too much. Luke made a comment about two months ago saying he wanted Julio to be the physical enforcer for this team and it feels like ever since then, Julius has taken that role to heart and absolutely excelled. Every team needs this kind of guy. For all his length and athleticism, Towns is below average on D despite playing for a well known defensive guru. I don't think Towns could be a physical presence for us.......
Now both of them together inside/out  |

I hope Maginka is prepared to make a darn good offer to Randle and not take him for granted. I can see Dallas or some other team looking for frontcourt muscle throwing a $18-20M/ year offer at him, and if Randle feels under appreciated or undervalued or jerked around, we’re cooked.
As much as we need outside shooting and star quality, we also need players that make it hard for opposing teams to match up to US, rather than the other way around.
Just a couple of weeks ago some folks here were hoping Randle would sign here around $10-12M a year, but I don’t think that will cut it anymore. |

Of course someone had to misread my post and think I said Randle was better. But that's not what I said you understand that I'm saying the two aren't far off. With that said I think Randle brings his heart every night for his full 30 or whatever mins he's playing. KAT has been bad defensively and doesn't defend the perimeter well although he's a better shot blocker. Randle is so good at defending the perimeter players that last night at the end of the game. He was on Buddy and buddy was scared to challenge Randle so he took a 3 about 5 feet behind the line and shot an air ball. Randle also has better hands in terms of getting deflections

Come on...
You said : « I'll take Randle over Towns right now. He's soft ». Sorry but when someone says that, I understand : « Randle is better than Towns ». And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one… |

I don't see where I said he was better. I'll take PG over Lebron right now does that mean PG is better? No I like what PG brings over trying to get Lebron to buy into our system. If I wanted to say Randle >> KAT I would have said it. I don't dance around what I'm trying to say. Clearly you miss the SOFT part which made my post clear.

I was one who thought the Mavs would make it rain on Randle but after finding out they'd have to somewhat gut the team to throw him a max and rumors linking them to Aaron Gordon, I think we might have dodged that bullet.

I don't think Mavs make a big offer to Randle. They are going to want to tank next year too and be players in summer of 2019.
Lakers don't have many competitors. |
