Now that Randle's playing in real games and is shooting below 30% outside of three feet, I'd venture to guess that his trade value isn't that high. Right now, Hezonja brings more to the table.

His trade value is below what it was in the offseason but im 1 million percent positive that they could get much more value than mario a couple different ways

And at that point that's where Hennigan will hang up the phone. :heh:
In all seriousness, I think Nick Young's on a good contract and could help a playoff team. LA is a dumpster fire, but a good coach like Skiles would get the best out of Young. He's shooting 36% from three with no discipline and an offensive system that consists of pure chaos.

I feel like a lot of teams would be interested in having julius. Hes still been a double double machine and is very young and still a project and its basically his rookie year even if you feel like he hasn't been met expectations. Im sure atleast half the league would be interested and at better value than mario. I havdnt thought of any scenerios because i havent really even thought of trading him even tho im not that big on him myself

I think this would be applicable to a seasoned team with enough stable points - Magic certainly aren't one of those teams. They're still young and growing - focusing on sharing the load - top 10 in assists and passes per game. Adding two of the biggest black holes in the league (Lou and Young) would put a stop to all that.

Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho
Im pretty sure the lakers pulled out of the deal because the kings demanded randle be included

You're failing to understand the principle here. The Kings were never going to trade Randle for Cousins. That scenario has nothing to do with Randle's trade value vs. Mario Hezonja's. You're leaving out the #2 pick part like it wasn't the foundation of the discussion with the trade proposal.

Let me dream. :mjcry:

What do you think is a realistic trade scenario for Randle right now? Nance fits better in the modern NBA than Randle.

I never said it wasn't. They were gunning fot that number 2 pick but the fact is that they were unwilling to move unless randle was involved and the lakers were unwilling to move unless they kept randle lets me know that his trade value can get the lakers a better deal than mario who would be obselet since they have Clarkson and Russell.
