12-2 according to NBA.com 8-)


But either way we see Randle was 7th in Net rating during that time, the 7th guy on the Cavs in net rating is Sam Merrill. Good to know Randle impacts winning the same way Merrill does, he's 6th this year on the Wolves, you'd expect a starter to be top 5 but that's not part of the Randle experience. I'm glad we have KAT, he's the number 1 starter in net rating on our team and 3rd overall, in 5 years Randle was never once top 5 in net rating with us. It's like we broke into Fort Knox and traded an egg roll for a gold bar.

Rather be 11-1 and be a championship contender than go to the Knicks level where we had RJ and was a treadmill but I guess it is what it is! Nice to see Randle carry his winning impact to Minny and be 6-1 with the best defensive rating in the league. Must be nice!



Randle? Championship contender?





The Wolves have gone from contender and one of the final four teams, to the back end of the losers final four which is known as the play in. That is the Randle difference.

No wonder why Silver has the refs actively suppressing our team. Trade was criminal .

Investigations will be launched. Extortion or blackmail may be involved.

Must be nice being the best defensive team in the league for the past couple of weeks! It was fun when we had that January but now we’re the Sacramento kings. Oh well!

Naz Reid has a better DRTG than Randle over those 7 games, their winning coincides with playing him more, and Randle no longer playing 30mpg. He's just along for the ride.

We have the 3rd best defense in the league over that same 7 game sample you're using, except we have an offense from this century because we have KAT and not Randle. What a time to be alive.

Not family, he was someone they coveted, KAT is someone he loves. Brunson and KAT are his guys, he's not changing that for the Greek that can't shoot.

Giannis is gonna go to OKC for Hartenstein, Dort, and a historic haul for 1st round picks, the most ever in an NBA trade.

No other trade to me makes sense for Giannis. Two time MVP with a championship and still only 30, it has to be one of the biggest trades in history for Milwaukee to do it.

No player can replace someone like Giannis, so getting a dozen first round picks for him might be the only way.

The thing about Obi is that he isn't good.

Having SGA and Giannis on the same team would just be rude.

Jesus H Christ! Is this BS gonna drag on all year? Make a separate thread for the Randle blow job posts so that people who want to discuss what's going on around the NBA or anything else, don't have to read pages of BS about a loser who doesn't play here anymore because we replaced him with a much better player!! Aggo ends up the casualty in all of this BS? RIDICULOUS!

It's the only trade that truly makes sense for the Bucks to do, and also for Giannis to agree to.

Nets and Jazz have picks but Giannis would have to carry both franchises, which I doubt he would want to do. I feel like Milwaukee would want to do right by Giannis, and likewise Giannis for Milwaukee.

Spurs have picks, but I don't know how badly Giannis would really want to team up with Wemby.

Giannis with Chet, Jdub, and SGA is a perfect fit. However, Thunder may be trying to win it all this year without Giannis. They may wait until next offseason to trade for Giannis if it becomes clear that they need one more piece.

OKC has FIFTEEN 1st round picks over the next 7 years. I think they can trade for Giannis without giving up any of their core players. OKC will have to give up almost every possible pick, but Giannis is the guy to do it for.

If it was just six to nine picks, then I'd say you'd have to include Chet or Jdub. But with as many as fifteen picks, I don't think you need to include a core player.

That many picks gives Milwaukee the option to either rebuild through the draft, or acquire multiple guys in trades with those picks. Endless options.
