The only guy in this draft that I'd take over JR is Okafor. But I think they're both in the same tier. It's close |

I'm just skeptical of the injury randle sustained. It's especially tough on big guys.. I guess only time will tell, I hope it's not something that will affect him mentally.. I remember the look on his face when it happened, disbelief, disappointment, overwhelmed  |

First game of your career for the most storied franchise that you've grown up rooting for in a season where you were the second biggest story line to kobe... I think that's what that look was. Not some "oh my god I'm done" look
Anyway, can't wait to get Ju back. |

He'll be a star if he can stay healthy. |
I value your opinion. That means a lot coming from you; question. Do you think he could play the 3 for spurts? |

I want a Julius Randle for Jabari Parker swap before next season.
I think Jabari will end up being the better player of the two but right now their value is pretty much the same since they both had season ending injuries their rookie year.
Bucks depth chart has Jabari at the 4. Bucks should just take randle at that position instead since they have Giannis, Middleton, and Dudley already at the wings.
In addition to being the better player down the road, I think Jabari is a better fit for us as well (at the 3). Since we have power forwards a plenty and some are bound to return.

Not to mention that trade is pure pipe anyways lol |

Any chance, like any chance at all, that he could play the last month of the season?

He'd probably be healthy by then. I don't know if the management would do it, though. |

Those two comments seem contradictory.
Maybe you aren't the only one who sees big things in his future. There has to be some chance Milwakuee's GM feels the same way. I'm sure they weren't expecting Middleton and Giannis to develop as much as they have. And maybe their opinion of Randle vs Parker changed since draft day and both their injuries.

I hope Randle comes back very healthy and ready mentally and physically for the rigors of a long season. He has seen the guys in practice, and I hope he comes back with intensity.
He has had plenty to learn this season, and I hope he has learned a lot about what to do and what not to do. |

Yeah health wise I think he could, but management isn't going to risk anything |

Not worth it even if reasonably healthy. Guys will be in full NBA mode while he comes in basically needing to find his legs. Injury potential right there.

It's not contradictory. The first is my opinion. I project J30 to be a better prospect than Jabari.
The second is the likelihood of the trade happening. When has a trade like that ever happened? Secondly, if Mil really wanted Julius they could have drafted him. |

Tbh, I don't think the Lakers' FO would even make that trade. And nor should they. Randle is our future.

I don't think it's likely either.
But I do think both players have near equal trade value, and that won't be the case moving forward.

lol. I can tell.
I do think it's a toss up who will be the better player.
It's tough meeting expectations as a lotto pick.
And it's even tougher to recover from a season ending injury as a rookie.
But Randle and Jabari have upside. I just see them thriving at different positions.

| Randle will be back better then ever and prove all the doubters wrong that wants him traded or to sign Love in FA. He's going to be a force once he gets healthy. |

Anybody find it interesting that every team that has been in trade talks with the lakers have all requested Randle?
After wacthing some more earlier highlights of this guy im super impressed. He's a PF and has almost as good of handles as the top Pick Wiggins. |

I agree, Randle has a wonderful skillset that actually is pretty unique to many of the players that came in. I mean the guy is not only a great bruiser, but he has great handles, is extremely quick, and all his work in progress stuff is easily fixable and just add more to his weaponry. All the other players are very proto-typical to their positions at this point.
Also I hope we don't get Love, its not that I don't believe he is an All-star, because he is. I just don't want him because he is a walking injury machine, and you never know when his back spasms will act up (we already have delt with enough back issues: "Nash") |
