Randle is not a good fit. He's probably going to get overpaid as well.
He did not.I think he did win a national championship though so it's not like his teams can't win.

Can he play the 5 though?12% of Randle's 3 point attempts come from the corner... he shoots 30.8%... shooting 34.3% from 3 overall... so he's solid above the break... the attempts are the difference between him and Jae.
He does a lot more than Favs with the ball and does a lot of different things than Jae. He's a foul magnet and shoots a ton at the rim... making a high percentage.
Crowder and Royce could still function as our stretch 4s... Randle could play 20 minutes at pf and 10-12 minutes at center.

Couldn’t agree more.Randle is not a good fit. He's probably going to get overpaid as well.
I’m done talking to someone with no real sense of reality, Holy ****, are you being serious?!?! Idiot!!The Lakers pretty much just replaced Randle with the best player on the planet, Lance, Rondo, and Chandler. And they are still a .500 team. They are a broken team.
I don't think Randle carries a team to a winning record. However, I also don't believe that he carries his teams to losses.
I think he is a Zach Randolph or Chris Bosh type player. When those guys were on their own, they put up some good stats but their teams were average. When they join a good team, their stats take a dip but their new team gets the best from them. I think we are a better team than NOLA for sure and Randle fits our needs like a glove.

When Mitchell has the ball in his hands rudy hardly gets opportunities anyway. Donovan is a shoot first pg. Not a great way for your team to runCarmelo Anthony also won a National championship, so what.
Pels made second round last year. If he’s sooo good, shouldn’t he elevate the pels from where they were last year with Davis. They weren’t good even befor the Davis drama started, for all we know, he doesn’t even like playing with Randle’s style of hero ball and tunnel vision.
Face it he’s not who we want as a second option. We should be shooting for guys like Harris and Klay with Niko as a fall back plan. Randle is just a horrible idea that makes our offense less consistent then it already is. You add Randle, and you are taking the ball away from Mitchell and opportunities away from Gobert. Randle IMO is poison to this offense.
Every team in the league has nba level starters on its roster. Every team in the league has players we would want.

Griffin is only 24? He's one of those that feels like he's been in the league for over a decade. Weird.
Can he play the 5 though?

I mean unless it is prime Shaq out there I'm not sure any center is carrying a lineup of pelican's bench guys to success.
IDK... Randle is not an ideal fit. I just think he's a better fit. Guys calling him a black hole... need to slow down. He gets a decent amount of assists for a big. He probably holds the ball a little too long though... so I get the bad fit issue.
All FAs get overpaid... a 4 year max for Middleton is overpaying... but he will get it. Randle may be the rare undervalued guy if the shooting continues to improve. I don't think Randle gets the max... think he gets between 18-25M per year... get him at the lower number and there could be some serious value there.
Everyone goes bonkers for Aaron Gordon, who is just a year younger, and Gordon is a better passer (maybe) less turnover prone, but a way less efficient scorer on a lot less volume. Gordon is a better outside shooter I guess... better defender, but I'm not sure he's elite on that side of the ball. I get that he is playing out of position and there is some mystery there.
I think Randle is an interesting plan D or E... I'm not completely sold, but some are acting like he's trash. It isn't his fault he was on some awful LA teams and has been involved in this NOLA season... I'm not ready to call him a "good stats bad team" guy yet.
Your not even getting to the third round with Randle as your #2 option. Why can’t anyone see that.

Middleton/Harris/almost all of the guys we mention are not qualified to be #2
You are just saying stuff... with no facts or anything to back it. You could say Middleton/Harris/almost all of the guys we mention are not qualified to be #2 options on a conference finals team.
But every team he's been on has been wildly worse on defense when he plays center. Like incredibly bad.I mean unless it is prime Shaq out there I'm not sure any center is carrying a lineup of pelican's bench guys to success.
