Didn't Anthony Randolph sign an extension with Real Madrid? I've liked how he's developed so far in Euroleague, but I'm still not sure if he's an NBA starter.
I'm kind of wary on Melo too. That kind of kills the Nets' ability to sign young players, which they seem to be focusing on lately.
Randolph has until June to reach a deal with a NBA team.
His rim protection, 3 point shooting, length, and athleticism are all upgrades at the position for the team.
(Last three years 3 pt % - 39%, 34%, 38%)
He upgrades the position for 3 years on great contract.
Caldwell Pope and Otto Porter are no more worth developing than Jefferson, Thornwell, Whitehead, and Levert. The latter are far less expensive.
Pope and Porter won't produce better numbers than Carmelo. Melo's deal is 2 years.
