Randle:

Maybe the most important exit interview... Not much he can say. But a good discussion.

Zo... Dude's the master of answering questions in a way that doesn't allow any other questions.
He's a PG that talks like an NFL lineman.

Nice work! Appreciate it. And your version of the Randle interview actually has audio. The other one (from that link) sounds like he's on the other side of a giant field.

Kinda seems like Randle wants to be here....but there's no doubt he's a little butt-hurt. Some fence-mending is in order.

Lopez said he'd take a cut to stick around if we get FA...that's cool.

Kuzma interview was pretty funny. Guy's a stud. "Who wouldn't want to come to LA? The women are beautiful"

Prob not the Pitch Lebron's wife wants to hear.....but he was in Miami. I'm sure she's up on how it goes.

I liked Brook's interview! I was hard on him to begin the season, but he is a floor stretching big who offers rim protection and a nice inside presence offensively, and he's just 30 (newly turned so would be 30 most of next season not 31) with a game not reliant on athleticism, he could be someone who we, and the NBA at large are underrating big time. This was the 1st season since rookie year he averaged less than 17 ppg, and 2nd season since rookie year he averaged less than 18.8. It was also his 1st season not on the Nets, which was probably a big adjustment for him, but his play really picked up post ASB, on a reasonable contract he could be quite an asset.

If we stretched Deng or traded 2 1st rounders or something to get rid of him, could we afford 2 maxes, 12 million for Randle, and 10 for Brook?

1. if we stretched deng, we don't have enough room for 2 maxes unless we renounce randle (and everyone else)

2. if we dumped deng for 2 maxes, we could sign 2 maxes, retain randle, but only offer the room MLE to brook (4.4 mil), but it'll help us retain brook's bird rights

Brandon looks so baked.
Randle feels like the friend who just grew up and matured all of a sudden while you are still living a dorm lifestyle.

Wait?! So Lonzo is not going to change his shooting form? Wth is Zo and the front office thinking? His shot is horribble. He can only shoot going left n has to take a step back to get it off. I was really looking forward to seeing lonzo change his form and having an actual offensive game

I agree. Disappointed about Lonzo’s Shot not being changed. Maybe he was told to say that and then to change it anyway, who knows?

I’m happy with what Magic and Rob said.

Damn, the seasons over already. I didnt post much this year...

There were some plays late in the season where Zo was shooting closer to his right than left. Best case scenario is that he just tweaks his shot rather than overbaul it. I wish though they would bring in some shooting coaches and give their opinion on what would be best.
