julius randle...

Only way Randle gets traded is for a super-star. Laker's don't trade for borderline starters.
 
Can Randle actually make his mid-range jumpshot consistent?

Can he develop a right hand?

Has to do those 2 things and he could be an All-Star. I still think he is a super easy player to guard for most NBA starters. He will expose mismatches well though because he can abuse SF's masquerading as PF's and he can take slow big men off the dribble who aren't smart defensively (Kanter types).

Randle will become an All Star one way. All that #HUNGER will take him a long way. Book it.

Lamarcus Aldridge
Blake Griffin
Anthony Davis

Those dudes have more talent and play in the same conference and at the same position and I don't see any of those 3 leaving the West anytime soon.

I stand corrected.

... unless the Lakers trade a prospect for an ageing star player from the East. I definitely could see Jim Buss doing something like that.
 
I'm still saying he'll be good. He's got some nice handles and a promising jump shot. Along with some other things. He's still way young too.

I think he reaches borderline all star type. Somewhere around there.
 
i saw the lakers game. this kid is 19 and he can physically bang with anybody already. reggie evans may suck, but he is a big boy. randle pushed him around.

this kid is a man child. no he isn't tall. no he doesn't have crazy reach. but this boy has that insane core strength. he is one of those who has that farm boy strength. randle was among the big 3 along with jabari and wiggins and he fell off. but i think this kid belongs in that group. randle will be a dominant player. he's gonna be a bully in this league.

Nice post. Thanks bro.
 
i'm not 100% sold on exum, but i do believe exum has the 3rd highest ceiling in this draft.

1. wiggins
2. embiid
3. exum

in this order.


i was firm on not picking randle because we have kanter and favors and i didn't want the team to give up on either of them. but man this kid looked good. this kid will be a 20/10 guy by year 3.
 
don't the lakers need a pg. offer kanter and Burke. :p

as much as i like trey, i would do that trade in a heart beat.


anyway Lin's been playing very well in the preseason. i saw lin twice and he played like linsanity II without the turnovers. looks like he is finally in a right situation. Lin still should come off the bench, but needs to finish.
 
I would not trade Burke and Kanter for Randle.

I was always pretty neutral on Burke, but his leadership is definitely a huge plus to the team. He has a clear positive effect on the offense just being on the court, even if he isn't statistically playing well. I don't think his stats will ever climb that high either, so I don't think his market value will ever exceed a ridiculous number like Hayward's did and Burks' probably will.

Sticking with known commodities is always a good choice over taking a shot at something better.
