besides, we got a worse and older lefty in beasley anyway

Fixed it for you. Lol. You know I usually agree with you but on this I’ll have to respectfully disagree.

IF it weren’t about the money, only about talent and on-court fit, I’d pick Randle’s game over Beasley’s potential to live up to the high pick which he never will live up to anyway. Every day of the week. He posted 36-15 against the Cavs. Once, I know. He’s 23? He’s a total beast of a physical specimen. When did Beasley last do anything near that type of showing? Beasley is enough of a vet to get the game, but his contribution will be hit or miss every night, mostly miss. Never beast.

Yeah, Beasly has looked like crap so far.

Glad Paul George stayed in OKC. Wouldn't want him here on a max.

I like the Raptors this year. They absolutely won that Leonard trade not only for the upgrade from Demar to Kawhi but Green is looking really nice.

Rubio is taking and making 3s off the bounce now! Good lord.

DeRozan is a poor man’s Leonard, with a less reliable jumper, shorter, slower, not as smart... Which is true for many wings.

Beasley has been crap most of his career with a couple of stretches where you could see the top of the draft talent in him. What every "clicks" in him at those points needs to "click" again because he looks lost, old and slow right now.

I don't know about you, but I'm rooting hard for the Warriors to win the Finals this season, because the thought of the Rockets winning it all galls me. We all know that the Lakers aren't making the Finals this season anyways.

35 points 11 assists 1TO in his 3rd NBA game for Trae Young. All the bust talk just died.

Yeah. Much better for GSW to win it than HOU, or god forbid BOS.

Against the Cavs, though.

For now. Lonzo had a big second game against Phoenix, but that didn't silence the haters.

The Celtics will win it all, hate to say it. So, yes, I’d love the Warriors to win the WCF if not us.

I see them as the only threat to the Celtics winning one more modern era championship this season.

Then the lakeshow will three-peat.

Yeah let’s call both of their agents, get talks going. :lol:

I’d do the straight up trade. I just don’t see how that would go down.
