Not a big fan of letting Randle walk for nothing either, and I didn't even like Randle while he was here. |
Beyond whatever personal stuff was going on behind the scenes, it seems like the plan was to intimidate the Pacers into trading PG13 for JC, Randle, and pick(s) before the 2017 draft by opening up max cap space to sign him outright the following summer. |
Why would the Pacers trade PG13 for Randle, trash, and picks? |
That's what was being floated as the Lakers offer at the time. It sounded like they were shopping around the DLo/Mozgov package for a lottery pick to sweeten their offer for George, but there were no takers (Detroit really was poorly managed under SVG). |
Plus seeing how the Pacers turned Pelinka in to the league, it is doubtful we could have ever put together a package for George.

True, Pritchard was a hard ass. Can't blame him and he definitely got the better deal.
