What is the best link that you have to it?

If it is just somebody throwing out something on another BBS/Forum without a link to a source, then I don't have that as good enough to have a conversation about it.

Going back to his days as a youth with the Lakers, it has been about him.

Other than as part of a package for Westbrook, I don't know what team is a good candidate for a Randle trade.

I still think Washington could be interested.

If Grunfeld was still there, then maybe so. I have Sheppard as better than that.

Just to let you know, Ballsack Sports is a parody account. Surprised it had to be said.

I'm not sure what he's done to suggest he is, tbh. I also could see maybe Portland being interested as a way to turn some of their guard depth into forward depth.

A lot of De'Aaon Fox talk in NY. Either way I think there ends up being a lot of disappointed Kings fans for some reason in a Randle trade.

My dream is they think 3-4 1sts for Simmons or 2 1sts for Grant is too much and give us Bagley/Thompson and 1 1st for Randle instead.

I don't know. I am trying to get more information on Steve Hasselford and it is a struggle.

There are 15 or so Twitter accounts that I read just about everyday. None are basketball related, so I have very little knowledge of which are and aren't legit basketball Twitter accounts.

That account is the one that recently posted something about "Josh Smith says LeBron couldn't have competed in his era" and FoxSports ran with it before realizing it was fake. It is not to be taken seriously.

Some of the Twitter accounts that I read regularly have offbeat names, so won't slam an account just because of the name/handle.

Once I started striking out on Steve Hassleford, then knew something was up.
