The DNA they have today is not the DNA they were born with in their native countries.

My answer is heyul nawl but what do yall think about Orange Julius Randle?

I can't imagine he'd be back with NYK, for all the reasons I think he'd be bad for us.

Just an interesting topic for discussion.

What's his next stop if, mercifully, not here?

He’s gonna go to some mediocre team watch. Or a really poor one like the Blazers.

Randle has 2 years left on his deal.  i can't see him going anywhere.

Oh you thought we was safe from the bad deal-a-paloosa?!!?!?

This from a rando sports illustrated/bleacher report-y link...

Atlanta Hawks Receive: F Lauri Markkanen

Utah Jazz Receive: F/C Onyeka Okongwu, G/F Dyson Daniels, SG Kobe Bufkin, 2025 first-round pick (unprotected via Los Angeles Lakers), 2025 first-round pick (top-12-protected via Sacramento Kings)

Like what we supposed to do with this nonsense?

He's an expiring contract wanting $50 mil next season.

Not to mention it gets a little clunky with him and JJ at the 3/4 spots defensively.  I think JJ has the potential to be a solid perimeter defender, but he isn't quite there yet.  Lauri definitely ain't the stopper there we need.

These people seriously think they dealing with Landry....oh.....wait...

[kg01]

Where do these blokes land..

Westbrook

Wall

Not right for us, imho.  Read of DEN interest in Westbrook.  I could see that considering they whiffed on the last 2 offseasons. Both apparently adjusted well to their respective reserve roles.

[kg01]

And, just like that, Westbrook traded to UTA for Kris Dunn.  To be bought out, head to DEN.

Landry has never done something like this lol... if anything, you could argue he's too conservative, so no way Hawks make a deal like this.  Also, Lauri is too redundant with JJ imo, fit isn't there at all.

I just can't with stupid people. Like.....in what world is 1 year of LM worth 5 (FIVE) 1st round picks?!?!?!?

These people are either dumber than a box of rocks of they seriously just think the Hawks exist to facilitate other teams getting better.

This is.... the fairest return we would have gotten in a trade during Landry's entire time here.

I cannot possibly blame them for that assumption.

You know I'm not Landry's biggest fan but this would be a bigger miss on a trade than any he has fallen short on to date, lol.  I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking you can push Landry around but not steamroll him like this.
