What did you expect?
Where was this energy when everyone was saying he wouldn't need time to develop cause he was older?

the return wasn't good (unless we get lucky w/ those Dallas picks), but I think the KP trade may have been necessary for the long-term
had KP not been traded, we'd likely only have 1 of Randle/Morris (I still think the FO would have pursued Randle, he'd be a good fit next to KP actually), which means we likely don't have Quickley or the #31 pick in 2021 (I'm booking it that Pistons finish as the worst) + we have more salary cap space for this offseason and aren't paying him ~31M

hes played one game and is injured- you make no sense

I think that I was the one carrying that energy.
The reply was in context and argued that Obi, with his numerous college accolades and smooth game would translate, regardless if he's 22. That he was a plug and play athletic and skilled big from day 1.
Obi's 1 week matinee hasn't discouraged that belief.

Randle on less money (so far) + picks is better than KP on a Max. Now for the Mavs, maybe it'll work. They have Luka though. But if you gave the Mavs Randle and the picks back, I think that's better than KP.

What intrigues me most is that they should be a team interested in Randle at the deadline. But what could they offer?

The worst thing about the OKC loss is they are the complete anthesis of us, they're doing what we should be doing. They have a team of young guys, everything is really going through those young players, for example Theo Maledon, Poku and Isiah Roby play more minutes per game than Quickley
