Anthony Randolph?

Did you guys extend his QO or did you relinquish his rights? Haven't seen a word about him anywhere so far this offseason.

We did not give him a qualifying offer.

Yep, you can take him back now if you want.

Haven't heard anything about him either. Kahn should look at getting him back for the vet minimum although he'll likely find a little more elsewhere.

Dude was probably the most talented player on the wolves roster not named Love&Rubio last year but doesn't get it together. He is too fragile mentally. :dontknow:

Oh agreed but at the minimum you have to fill a seat anyway. Might as well be one with upside who can contribute in practice and dazzle in garbage minutes.

AR needs to get on the least talented team where he will get the most PT and possibly he will develop while playing constantly through his mistakes and mental lapses, too bad i just don't see such a team in NBA, maybe Bobcats. So his bet would be going to China, he would dominate over there and may come back in a year or two.

I actually think Beasley is more talented. Hopefully Beas can up his defensive intensity and get more consistent on offense. I hate to see that talent wasted.

Not well-versed with the Nuggets but I'd like to see a Brewer-Randolph-McGee frontcourt. Skinny and long as hell. :lol:

Physically he has all the tools to be a great basketball player, he just isn't very good at the game of basketball. Its his only problem. If he ever figures it out he'll be a 40/25/19/9/7 basketball player, he's a legend on the general board.

He and Beasley have the same problem. They need a ton of PT and a very forgiving staff that is willing to let them screw up for many, many,. many games until they finally get it.

I disagree. That would just allow them to further compound their bad habits.

Look at Beasley's 1st season here. He didn't really improve because there was no accountability.

Nah, he needs to do what Nellie told him to do his rookie year. Bulk up, forget about scoring the ball and concentrate on rebounding and defense.

That thread on the PC board is a legend.

Then both of them ended up here and sucked :blank:

Randolph is more talented than Beasley and Pekovic.

Beasley is stuck as a tweener. If Randolph would actually care about basketball and have a better working mentality he could be a really good pf.

if we were destined to trade dw i'd really love randy back...he's a really good compliment to love and pek's below the rim game...if he goes to the right team i think he can become a pretty dam good rotation player.

Looks like he's going to be a Nugget soon. They sure have a talented, long and athletic front line. Not too sure about their collective basketball IQ, though.

That deal is cheap. $2 mil a year? I would have kept him for that.

He's a great fit for Denver, but my god, just don't play him and McGee at the same time.
