At least Parker can play the perimeter though.
Randle either needs the ball as kind of a point-forward or needs to work in Gobert’s space. I don’t love the fit.
Let’s talk about fours

This is my order of who I want at PF:
1. Parker
2. Gordon
3. Randle
I do think Favors is super underrated by everyone on here and in general. We definitely don’t win the OKC series without him. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Favors return.

I dont really understand the hate for Randle. Is it because of One Love pushing him so hard?
Randle is only 23. He does a lot of things well. He can score, rebound, and pass. He has pretty good handles too. He is athletic. He might be able to become a good defender.
I dont get why people get so stuck on who a young player is right now. Completely forgetting that people can get better at things.
Id be interested in Randle. Depends on what his cost is. He is another player like Hezonja that we could pick up without giving up much and maybe not paying much who could make the leap pretty soon here and become good player. The sign are there. He isnt complete trash.

Id bet anything that if you suggested trading for Oladipo a couple years ago people would have scoffed at that idea too. Hes undersized, he cant shoot, blah, blah, blah.. Now, oh ya Id love to have him.
Cmon people you gotta see it coming before it happens. You gain no value from figuring it out in hindsight. I swear, we go through this with one or two players every year.

Id Id rather have Favors too, but Favors still has to want to sign here. If we need a replacement. He is someone worth looking at. I can easily see him becoming a good 3pt shooter. Not a rim protector but decent perimeter defender, and if he does everything else well, then thats pretty good.
Nah, I’d rather get Randle.

He is also worth looking at because we need to think about picking up value for later trades.

I have always been a big fan of Randle. Does he fit well next to Gobert? Not really, but he is a very valuable player if we were to go small.
If you were to give me the option of starting Randle at C or Favors at C, I would go with Randle. He is a mismatch nightmare because of his speed, athleticism and ability to handle the ball. If he played with better teammates and a better coach, I think he would resemble Draymond when Draymond plays the 5. Randle is the type of guy who will be a pro for 10-12 years because he does the little things and he plays his butt off.
If you gave me Favors for 2 years and $22-25 million or Randle for 4 years and $40-45, I would pick Randle all day.

I agree, Favors is better.
Again, 23 years old. Cant shoot 3's well right now. Has been a consistent 70%plus FT shooter for his entire career. He has consistently improved his FG% every year. Those are all sign that he can get better at shooting 3's. He is at least shooting some too and making some of them. Thats more than anyone can say for Ben Simmons. But yet Ben Simmons is the next great thing according to some.

When comparing Favors and Randle they are the same at shooting. Randle is younger and probably has a better chance at becoming a 3pt shooter.
The one things Favors is better at is rim protection, which I value above all else, but Randle pretty much is better at everything else. How is he not at least worth considering?
