re: Julius Randle will NOT be a trade asset for the Pelicans....

Correct. Looking back at just the last six years, there were three buyers-buyers trades. But they all happened in the beginning of the year. Here's the issue - Randle can't be traded until December 15th, so that can't happen.

The whole point of this is that in two other threads there were three trade ideas involving Randle. All of which had him going to a seller. Won't happen. As always, just trying to get out in front of more bad ideas before they fester. It's a thankless job
