BI looked really good today, I'm excited for his future. D'Lo has been looking better, Clarkson is still scoring, I'm a little worried about Randle though, I like his attitude and approach but you need at least one 4 or 5 that can take over, and I don't know if Randle can be ours

 

[Jonah 2.0]

Two positives that have caught my eye since magic took over. First, he has JC believing he can be an elite defender. Second, he's coming down and having court time with BI.

Yeah Randle a solid 7-8 rotation player at best. Ronny Turiaf ass nigga

What's funny about Randle is if he dedicated himself to being a role player he'd be really solid enough.

His mentality is he wanna be THE MAN and that's not gonna fly. I be getting tight when he gets a rebound waves off DLo, BI,JC etc. goes coast to coast full speed gets stuck and throws up a wild ugly layup, gets a charge or turnover. It's like chill man, give up the rock.

Luke put it into his head that he wanted him in a "Draymond" role but he don't have the skill set or IQ. And he don't apply himself defensively like Dray

Must get some people who can knockdown shots this off-season. This is crazy

Who are the players that are definite keepers for y'all?

 

[toheeb27]

Who are the players that are definite keepers for y'all?

For me, Ingram and thats it. Never been sold on Randle and i soured big time on Dlo this season.

I think Dlo has potential. He just needs a change in mindset/focus. My three are: BI, Zu Alcindor, & Jr. I thought this would be JC's breakout season and I still think he can be a really good player but he's not where I thought he'd be. Randle just doesn't seem to have the basketball intelligence to go with his physical talents.

 

[BDBIID]

Nobody untouchable given the right offer is presented but how I rank the assets is

1) DLo

2) Ingram

3) Zubac

Julius and JC I'd move for solid deals. Doesn't have to be something blockbuster as long as it assists in the team building process.

 

[DaBull]

IMO

1. Ingram

2. DLo

if we are fortunate enough to get a top 2 pick, things get interesting with the UCLA kid on the board and then we will see how DLO is viewed by the front office

 

[northside7]

Ingram and Russell for sure. I still think Clarkson could be a productive squad piece.

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

I'll say keep the core 6ix with a caveat... we keep the kids unless we can flip 1 or 2 for a serious piece a la Paul George or Jimmy Butler... I am keeping the faith in Russell but if we could send DLo and Deng with a pick or sumn to Chi for Jimmy do it.. Im with trying to get Paul George this summer over waiting and hoping he wants to come... Randle's extension is coming up he's the main guy I'd entertain for trades I'm not totally sold he is worth a mini max that is due soon

 

[playmaker88]

Biggest waste of money ever. Moz and deng shutdown
