Basically an audition for Randle before free agency hits. I’m sure his agent’s told him to be extra sharp in this one.

[Lord Cuban]

WTH? Harrison Barnes really wants to kill our pick?

[dirkforpres]

I’m liking seeing the young guys take the majority of the second half. I really think that’s a smart move by Carlisle.

Smith, Collinsworth, A. Harrison, Kleber, and Motley should be our 5 for a majority of the second half every game for the remaining games

I will be glad when this season is over i hate rooting for losses, csrlisle with the great tank job in the 4th

[fuller4379]

That is how you tank.

Like you, I find it very difficult.
I just hope it's all worth it and we get someone that makes next season an interesting one. A guy that can be a rookie or the year candidate and that vibes well with Dennis Smith Jr and Barnes.

On another note: I mentioned in the past that Julius Randle would receive a max contract this off-season and becoming more evident with his numbers now. I expect Cuban to do the right thing and send him a max offer with the expectations that LA matches.

There are some ramblings that LA won't match a max offer. A near max, they probably would. But a max means they get tied down for 5 tears $125M I assume. And they need another star or 2. Then Lonzo, Kuzma and Ingram's new contracts are next. Personally I think they try to move Deng's contract first. But if there are no takers then they might have to let go of Randle.

Not sure they match. Kuzma is their PF of the future and they’re going to be looking to score a marquee FA like Lebron or saving space for next summers class if I had to guess

Lakers can offer him 5 years, but other teams can only give a 4 year offer. So if the Lakers match an offer, than the contract will be for 4 years. Whether they match or not will depend on guys like LeBron and George, and how quick they resolve their free agent situation.

U think offering 25m per is the right thing? I see it as a gross overpay and really hope we draft a pf so that doesn't happen, 50m between randle and Barnes is a terrible way to spend money
