    He seems to think that people have been saying that we don't want Randle back at all, rather than the reality which is that we would be okay with having him back, but it would depend on the price.
    Basketball.

    2/40-3/60 either one sounds good.

    Not really.

    2/40 works because the second year would be a TO, which means if he is showing the signs of defensive improvement, we have him locked in for another year and we get his bird rights after that, which gives us long term leverage. If he doesn't show those signs of improvement, we can either just drop the option, or we can trade him off as a big expiring.

    3/40 doesn't, because then even if he isn't showing those signs of improvement, we're locked into him for another year on big money at the minimum. No team will take him with $40m on the contract still as an expiring because it's over multiple years, so it's not as immediately attractive, and keeping him for another year until we can get to the option is really undesirable.

    I would have no problem paying him $20 million if it was over 2 years. The longer the deal the less I would offer. Everything this guy said makes complete sense and 2 years $40 million is looking like a great deal for Randle. If anything we have a great trade chip after next season. I don’t see an extra few million per year over the next 2 years in anyway would hurt our team with the $ we will soon be freeing up and the youth this team will have.

    You did nothing but trash him stating you wouldn’t pay more then $13 million. Saying you wouldn’t pay him more then $13 million is basically the same thing as saying you don’t want him back because that’s never going to happen.

    Okay.

    Aren't higher dollar /shorter term deals the new trend for all veteran contacts now anyway? Teams and players both seem contractually averse to being stuck these days.

    I like Randle, but if it's 2 for 20 or 3 for 17 who is better and available for that same money?

    With Randle being just 24 y/o I could definitely see Randle taking a 2 year deal to continue raising his value and enter FA right in the prime of his career at 26 y/o.. Would make much more sense and set himself up for a big long term deal. I would be fine giving him a player option for year 2. The more I watch Randle the more I think we need to resign him.

    How can someone admit they are wrong when it's an opinion based on what's going to happen in the future ?
    Ugh !

    Just ignore 'em, it's what I'm doing. You can only say the same thing in perfectly clear English so many times before you've just got to accept they do not want to engage in a real conversation. After that point, just got to drop it.

    I've come to realization that they are trolls.

    Trolls? They were valid points! Bourbon Street Shots made the point to pay Randle too! Explain how that is trolling? Because it is the right thing to do?

    Do you struggle to understand what a 2nd year team option means? Where the team can dump the contract after one year if they want to with no loss to them.

    Do you struggle to understand how 20m guaranteed over 1 year with a 2nd year team option is different than 60m guaranteed over 3 years?

    On that note I will pass to my friend GuardianAngel. Let him have a chance to give his thoughts.

    Let that sink in. Don’t ruin a good thing. Extend the contract.

    I do not, I think Jrue is a saint and his jersey should be retired.
