He's not washed, it was a bad game.My source? Portland fans that have no reason to lie.


He was great for Boston last season. Brogdon's problem is that he is injury prone.

This.

Zion to NY. Make it happen.


Man, running Julius out of town for his "laziness" only to bring in Zion would be...something :lol:

Glad I wasn't home to see this. Just watched the 9 minute NBA recap

What I saw at the Orlando game in December is Banchero has become very smooth. He doesn't rush his shots or panic. He calmly dribbles into an open pocket and takes an easy shot and usually makes it. Looked like a closer at the game I saw and he looks like one in the highlights I just watched. Kind of the Anti-Randle actually.

Deuce stood out in those highlights. He's a baller guys. He's expanding his game.

He could just have checked out while he waits for a trade. Brogdon is kind of a pouty bitch.

Randle is not a lazy person, don't get me wrong when I call him lazy, you don't get to where he is without hard work. He works on his game, he works on his body and I'm sure he really cares about the game, the team, his teammates and winning.

It's just that he is a lazy player...his natural inclination is arms down, to not jump or run or anything that involved instinctual activity in playing the game. There are some players that just naturally are active, they are always playing by running hard, arms up, reaching for the ball on rebounds, loose balls and on defense trying to prevent opponents from getting clean looks and open lanes to pass.

Randle just stands around with his arms at his side, this isn't me saying he's naturally lazy because as I said, he worked really hard and works really hard to get his game and body to where it is. Just in the flow of the game though, he is lazy in his activity.

This has nothing to do with an ankle, so save that excuse making for someone who hasn't watched Randle play for years and will believe you when you say that.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Theres the injury risk, but we was literally the best bench player in the NBA last season and wouldn't cost much at all.

I think he could be if coming to a contender where he was the third best offensive player revitalized him the way coming to NY sparked OG & Hart...but my favorite realistic option is the Atlanta Bogdanovic. Watching them since the new year, he's a pretty decent defender who plays passing lanes well and really fights around screens, and on offense he has plenty of skill to be our 3rd option. Plus he's signed to a nice contract.

He's 31, so they may want to move on from him & retool around Trae, JJ, OO, and whatever they get for Murray, but Bogdan doesn't have too many miles or injuries behind him, and his game should age very nicely. His game feels like it would fit in seamlessly with any of the nova boys, or running 2-man actions with Julius when Jalen rests.

2nd best :wink:

And he bitched about it so much that the Celtics were happy to be rid of him, despite him stealing that trophy from IQ.

I like Brogdon, would definitely prefer that gamble over the Murray gamble, but it is a gamble and it's not just his health.

Team basically isn't that good. Personally, I'm done speculating about trades that make them a 2nd round exit instead of a play in team.

Oh come on Buzz. With a healthy Brundle this team is a 2nd round exit already. We're talking about pushing that to a 3rd round exit!

...and if anyone can appreciate the importance of a healthy Brundle, I would hope it would be you good buddy.

I told y'all.

When the game is on the line, Randle is a straight up bum. No effort

Might as well start calling Randle by his Native American name Old Man Jogging

Trolls are the ones who attack people they disagree with.

It is never trolling to say we don't like Randle enough to overlook his flaws. All I see is people criticizing the player, not people who like the player. Big difference

And we don't have to wait for a bad game to say it.

Lots of people here have been saying he melts down under pressure and gives up on the team at crunch time all season long.
