Turner the better defender by a mile, if you're bringing All Star games to the table as proof we aren't going to get anywhere. No team in the league save those with top 5 centers would want Randle over Turner.Heild does everything better than RJ? SMH
Besides play in New York, mean mug and sit out the last game to preserve his 20 per game what does RJ do better? I'll take anything. But I'm sure it's this year it'll happen for him.
Anything? Besides shoot a bunch of bad shots and miss RJ does absolutely nothing better than Buddy Hield, in fact he does most things at a demonstrably worse level. And now we have a PG so that excuse is gone.Halliburton is backing up Brunson on Team USA
That's the advanced metric we've been waiting for. Brunson is great, but Haliburton is better now and younger. It's not close and besides Knicks homers nobody thinks otherwise.

Besides being older and starting on the World Cup team what does Brunson do better? Because Haliburton actually passes ... Brunson shoots more. Brunson is good, Haliburton is younger and better. He's a top 20 player right now.
You'd want Haliburton as your 1st or 2nd scoring option? I wouldn't.
So he's a better passer. Yipee. That is in fact nice. It's by far the only metric of what makes a PG good.
Brunson is an excellent scoring point guard who is a decent passer.
Oh, and he's 15 million per year cheaper.
Since everyone is bitching about payroll now.
I don't want either as my 1st scoring option. But Haliburton is better now, and 4 years younger. He's a far better passer. Brunson is an excellent player period, and a very good scoring point guard. Haliburton is a comparable scorer by every measurable.
Brunsons contract is very good, top 5 in the league probably. Be great if we could have traded it for a top 5 pick.
