I'm okay with this :manny:

Randle has been playing arguably the best ball of his life but I'm pretty sure he's gone next summer anyway :manny:

Noel fits more of a need, and if we can resign him on a friendly contract so be it. Make Dallas throw a pick as well :birdman:

I am saying that if everything goes right moving forward he will be an elite defensive player. Noel has quick hands, it should be expected that at times he's going to bite more than he chews. But again, he's been compared to some all time greats as early as his rookie season so I don't think it can be attributed to Noel being a gambler.

Only one other rookie since the NBA started counting blocks in 1973 averaged at least 2 blocks and 1.5 steals his rookie season—David Robinson in 1989-90. Even more impressive for Noel is that Robinson was 24 his rookie year, after playing four years at Navy and serving two years of military service. Noel turns 21 on Friday, meaning he will put up historic numbers in a season in which he can’t legally drink

Since 1973, only two players averaged at least 2.5 blocks and 2 steals per game over a full season—Robinson and Hakeem Olajuwon, who incredibly did it four times.

I think he was put into multiple bad situations but we will see what happens one way or another.

Again, he averages a high number of steals and blocks because of his gambling playstyle, he can do whatever he wants at a historic rate numbers wise but he can't seem to stop making boneheaded plays and being in bad positions when you actually watch him. David Robinson level defenders don't get benched by their head coaches because their head is up their ass

He piled up empty stats on bad teams. He's not an impact defensive guy despite whatever stats you cite, because they only paint part of the picture

Dallas would win this trade. The main problem is that Noel is gonna be a FA and could be asking the same if not more than what Julius is asking for.

we've been trying to offload deng. Randle has been one of the best defenders at his position in the league thus far.
