    I wouldn't do that trade. Randle is not a good player if you want to win games.

    The numbers were 7 - 27 (0 - 6 on 3-point attempts) for 19 points vs the Raptors and 7 - 30 (1 - 6 on 3 point attempts) also for 19 points vs the Spurs. Mind boggling.

    Just because he’s never been on a good team doesnt mean he couldnt figure out how to fit in on a team thats winning.

    I believe that his style of play directly leads to his teams not being able to win. He'd be an awful fit on this roster.

    He’d be by far their best option on the bench though, if Tolliver for Randle could happen (I know it cant), they’d finally have someone on the bench who could score.

    I disagree that having a player that inefficient at scoring would help the bench.

    Honestly I don't get how anyone who didn't want Melo would want Randle.

    Its not that I have a real big desire for Randle, it was mostly a joke, but yeah Id take him over Tolliver.

    How is 7 for 27 "less than 25%"?

    he had quite a game. 19 points on 27 shots. 7-27. Now 7-27 is not under 25%, it's over. But he was 7-30 the game before

    anyway, he had a triple double with 19-13-11, but he also had 8 turnovers...yikes! That's an ugly triple-double. However, his Rockets' team won in Toronto so it was a winning triple-double....go figure

    ******************************************

    The Nuggets won tonight with 8 players scoring in double figures. No player had more than 17; 10 players played at least 21 minutes, but none played more than 26 minutes.That's a really rare kind of boxscore

    Denver is 14-5, and Jokic has played poorly this season so far...or at least he's playing much worse than last year. Maybe he shouldn't have come in looking like a 7' Pillsbury Doughboy

    Jokic was also quite bad at the World Cup. It’s strange how can be so out of shape having played competitive basketball in the Summer, mind boggling really.

    I wouldn’t really put much value on their win over the Knicks when it comes to assessing their depth. It’s very good but this game is not what we should use as proof.

    Fizdale is using him as a PF point guard and the guy has no handles....I'd predict once again, Knicks fire another coach

    something's not right with Jokic. He comes off as apathetic. if I didn't know better I would think he's unhappy in Denver but maybe its personal stuff.

    I read that that is a toxic locker room…..paycheck workers not franchise builders
