Sorry, but this actually decreases the chance of us getting him, because we can't do a sign and trade for the TPE giving them a 2nd rounder, for example.
Would be rrrrrreal nice to have more than the tax MLE right now. A Randle and Collins frontcourt could be lethal. I thought Randle was by far the best player on the Lakers last year.
Randle made a huge jump this year but guys of his archetype--effecient but strictly around the basket scorers who don't defend--will always be overrated. I'd rather just see what we have in Collins and Swanigan.
Favors got $36 mil over 2 years. Pretty sure Randle is looking for more than that..... and I see no path where the Blazers can even get into the conversation.
See this is the guy I thought the Nets would go after. Not Ed Davis who is solid. But won't make a team like the Nets better.... They're just too much ass.
Olshey needs at least attempt to look into it and acquire him. With him and Zack in that 2nd unit that would be huge for the bench.
You know why? Because Lillard came with their Pick. And they decided to fuck us in the future. Fucking nets garbage Franchise
Handle and pass I'll give to you, but he hasn't shot or defended at even a below average level at any point in his career.
