no thanks
even though he had a career year last year he proved that he is a good stats on bad team player who doesnt make his team better _________________ (bleep) Kawhi
I regret letting go of DLO, but, honestly, (bleep) Randle. He is a low-IQ, mentally weak player that will fold when it matters most, and he's not exactly a rim protector, which is what we need from the PF/C position.
How can we sign Randle and a max free agent? If we can I’d be down with this instead of trading away anyone.
Because of Deng's 5M hold, we can't. We could trade Ingram/Kuzma/filler to create room for Randle if we land Kyrie or Kawhi. I'm good with that. _________________ Build around team players, not ISO players.

How about we work out a S&T with New Orleans for Randle? Oh wait...
I liked JR but his low ball IQ will not sit well with Lebron. Hard pass for me _________________ "Friends can come and go, but banners hang forever" -KOBE

Not disputing what you're saying but Randle's BBIQ is no lower than Tristan Thompson and he worked out quite well next to LeBron.
Randle in the P&R with Lonzo was not a bad player.

Randle is a finisher, not a creator. That type of player does well next to LeBron. Watch Randle/Lonzo connection...I predict the same with Randle/LeBron in the P&R.
One of the things LeBron didn't have a lot of last year was someone setting hard screens for him. Lonzo set most of the good screens LeBron got. Get Randle to buy into that type of role and he's a great fit without needing to think too much. LeBron spoon-feeds his guys, negating the need for a high basketball IQ...which is good and what you want but in a limited role, not a deal breaker. _________________ Build around team players, not ISO players.
I watched Access SportsNet Lakers this morning and they were talking AD and what it would take to get him here by trade. Now we talk and name the names, BI, Zo, Kuz and the 4 rd pick. When the guys removed those names, all the had on the board was AD and LBJ. They looked silly trying to insert Hart at shooting guard and resigning Bullock and Megee on the cheap. That line up had more holes than swiss cheese. Nothing on the bench looked attractive to move to the starting line up. Move on from the AD Dream, it's a trainwreck. _________________ "If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". Ive always loved that quote. Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run. We endure and conquer.
This is the role I see Randle playing next to LeBron.
Looks great with floor spacing and shooters on the floor, both of which we had none of last season. _________________ "Friends can come and go, but banners hang forever" -KOBE
Highly doubt Jules or DLO would even consider the Lakers after they left the team on bad terms.
This may depend on how things played out behind the scenes. Did Rob share Magic's stance about either of them? Was he cold towards either of them? Magic went out of his way to publicly label Dlo as being a non-leader. Perhaps with Magic removed from the equation, they may not hold the same negative view of the Lakers. Just a thought...

Maybe but unlikely.
I would question why he as the GM didn't stop it. Or the owner, etc.
Basically everyone sans Magic is still there from the organizational decision tree that signed off on it. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
I'm not going to pass on another Max Free Agent in order to bring back Randle.
Options (as unlikely as they are and not all are MAX) in kinda order:
1. Durant
2. Kawhi
3. Kyrie
4. Klay
5. Butler
6. Middleton
7. T Harris
8. Vucevic
9. Kemba
...

XX. Randle
Who said we have to pass on a max Free Agent? S&T is still available for any of those players and I doubt a team would mind picking up a young player or 2 instead of losing a Max Level Free Agent for nothing, right? _________________ Build around team players, not ISO players.

Dude is just average at best and want to be paid and stat pad.

If you can outright sign a max-worthy free agent, you do that first. You don't fool around with signing Randle then relying on a sign-and-trade. You've got this all backwards. No one does this.
Myopic laker fans that fall in love with our draft picks. Stop. Randle couldn’t even get more the 9 mil a year last year. Nobody wanted him. Why is that? Cuz he is a stat ladder on a bad team. I don’t want randle back in a laker uniform ever unless it’s at the MLE and even then I’m not so sure. Can we fall in love with winning again instead of draft picks we got as a result of being the clippers.
