re: Jrue, Tatum, and Randle

I think, at worst, Randle is an asset. I can't see him becoming like a Solomon Hill albatross, for example. In business and life, I usually start there, where I ask myself, "What's the worst way this can play out?" And even if we give Randle like 3/50, I just can't see him as untradable barring something drastic like tearing an Achilles or whatever.

So, my worst case scenario isn't that bad. And best case scenario is he just stays the same or gets a little better offensively while also improving his defense to where he is a small plus on that end. Like, imagine Zach Randolph in his prime but with more range and he moves his feet better on the perimeter on D. I'll take that!

Plus, it sounds like the guy actually wants to be here and make it a home. That is valuable. If him and Jrue both truly feel that way, then that will rub off on Tatum and the rookies and they will want to stay too. That's the best case scenario to me.
