I doubt either team would do it at the moment, especially us since we value his defense a lot. Randle would provide overlap with a lot of what we have.

I wouldn't, I love Gordon and think his potential is sky high as seen in his 14 point 2nd quarter against the Rockets tonight.

Afraid not. AG potential is too great and he isn't just speculation, he shows it out there.

Not a chance. Randle doesn't work with this team as we just gave a big deal to Tobias Harris. AG offers skills neither off them do.

While you make be sick of Randle, I doubt the Lakers are. If I am wrong about this, I'm sure there are plenty of interesting packages out there for Randle. Orlando offering AG just isn't one of the,.

i agree with u guys, ag' potential is nice and he plays like how big fwds should play. ag is rugged but has nice touch up close and even from deep if not mistaken. ag is strong athletic and i think he can possibly slide to center if really needed. i just love his game. you guys are lucky, hes definitely a young quality piece for your young up-n-coming team.

im a die hard lak fan, always have since early magic days. but this yr is tough, not because we're losing, but because that idiot coach we have is not developing our young guys (so it seems to us lak fans). randle is unpolished, im no longer patient with byron scott and im not seeing my laker young guys develop- outside of jordan clarkson. randle is a good rebounder, but he's too out-of- control for the lakers team game (whatever that may be).

Some Lakers fan on the General Board recently said there was no way we wouldn't take Julius Randle over Aaron Gordon now. Can you guys stick to a single message over there? ;)

I didnt know LA fans were sick of Randle? I thought he and Russell were kinged the future of LAL. Why are La fans want him shipped out? Ive only watched like 4-5 LA games this year but he looks ok. Still raw and going to the basket hard.

Might just be this one guy. It's always hard to tell.

randle does not fit on the magic but i like his potential, aaron is more versatile but he is being under utilized

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

If we wanted Randle we would have taken him. Good player but doesn't have the potential of Gordon.

This.

Randles a rookie this year, give the guy a break sheesh
The future is bright 8-) Payton said. ``I just want to keep getting better and maybe one day I can be the all-time all assists leader for the Magic.’’

This does not help the Magic.

Cousins for Gordon, Fournier, and Orlando's 1st; I would be pleased with that trade.

No, Randle is a tweener because he can't play defense. Gordon is a hybrid because he can.

Now there's a twist, you guys usually take our stars in their primes, now you're trying to steal them while they're still young. No thanks.
