i have no issue with Randle as long as he's properly vetted. what does he have to do with maintaining veteran presence in the locker room going forward?
I'm not saying you can't.
Ok.
*ring ring*
Marks: hello?
NBA playoff contender: We'd like to about what the price is for Trevor Booker
Marks: A first round pick and a young guard
NBAPC: ok, how about a 2018 1st rd
You'd say no?bws94 wrote:It's also a team game and finding the right mix. Randle is yet another young player on a team that needs to have vets in it for the reasons MDB mentioned.
bro I like Trevor Booker. I'd trade him in a heartbeat for a 1st round pick. So would Marks.
I answered this before lol

if the deal is right sure. otherwise i prefer to keep veteran talent on the team. this is a young team, it is counter productive to dump veteran guys who have their heads on straight and are professionals. Guys like Booker and Carroll's impact isn't just on the floor, but in the locker room and personally with these guys.
we don't ever want to have this become a situation where we've got a locker room full of young guys with zero peer guidance. coaches can only do so much.
I'm not saying Booker is untouchable, my point was about maintaining good veteran presence in the locker room as the young guys mature. That's why I was kind of confused by your Julius Randle comment...I'm not sure what that had to do with the point of having veteran leadership
although yes, i'm all for adding more young talent.
