Player 1 is Blake Griffin

Player 2 is Julius Randle

Both age 24 season per 100... so pace is accounted for.

I figured one of them was Randle. Likely 2 because of the rebounding lol. I didn't know the other was Blake though, wow. But yeah like I said I'm very intrigued by the possibility of Randle. I like how he has consistently improved his game.

Griffin is only 24? He's one of those that feels like he's been in the league for over a decade. Weird.
 
It's really amazing that while we regard New Orleans as a dumpster fire, many of us would be thrilled with any of four players the Pels have had, thinking that any one of them could provide us with a second real scorer.

Maybe more than anything, it's a sign of the bad luck the Pels have had (and maybe how thin the line is between perceived success and failure). Injuries have hurt them badly. Their role players should have turned out better. They've won five less games this year than their "expected" Pythagorean outcome, the latter of which would place firmly within the playoff race rather than clearly out as they are now.

(Or maybe it should give us caution in thinking the grass will be greener if we just replace Jazz player X with non-Jazz player Y.)

I just think they've had bad coaching for a while. We don't have that.

Every team in the league has nba level starters on its roster. Every team in the league has players we would want.

It's funny that LA had 5 main young guys and the two best guys as of right now are arguably the two guys they let go:

Russell
Randle
Ingram
Kuzma
Lonzo

Maybe the secret is getting Lonzo, Ingram or Kuzma out of LA....

Kuz is probably the only guy on that list that probably would look worse away from LeBron and the Lakers than he currently does. Ingram would be significantly better if he got used as a playmaker, kinda like what the Heat are doing with Point Justice right now, and while Lonzo seems to be the kind of guy that benefits most with other good players who can mask his weaknesses, he is a guy that needs the ball in his hands in order to get the most out of him too.

This. Unless non-jazz-player is a tier 1 or 2 player then realistically we won't move the needle.
 
We need to pursue Tobias (max), Kemba (max), Middleton (max), Brogdon ($25ish), Randle ($20ish), Niko ($17ish), Russell ($25+ish), Bojan ($17ish)

If we miss those main targets, I think we need to switch to asset accumulation mode. We should see how much...
- Detroit would give us for taking Reggie Jackson's expiring

- Charlotte would give us for taking expirings like Marvin, Biyombo or MKG

- Miami would give us for taking Olynyk or one of their expirings

- Brooklyn would give us for taking Crabbe's expiring

- Orlando would give us for taking Mozgov's expiring

- Memphis would give us for taking Parsons' expiring

- NOLA would give us for taking Hill's expiring

- Washington would give us for taking Mahinmi's expiring

None of these sacrifice too much but they give us an asset we could use later.

Hate to burst everyone’s bubble but Randle’s basketball acumen is through the roof bad. Sure he puts up stats and all, but he hasn’t helped anyone win. He’s never heard of the term team basketball, he has tunnel vision, oh and he is a very bad fit next to our most important players, DM and Gobert.

He would be a dumpster fire in Utah and we’d have to pay him like an allstar.

Not no, not even hell no, not even **** no, but for the love of god, for all that is holy and good, NO!!!!!!

Not to mention if the jazz did sign him I’d have to hear @ONE LOVE talk about how he should play sf. For the love of god say no to Randle. God damn idiots!!
