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.

I agree that at the very least he won't be an Asik or Solo.
But my worry is fit with Jrue & Tatum long-term. Randle is a Tyreke-like scorer. He needs the ball in his hands. However thats very similar to how Jrue & Tatum play (more Jrue than Tatum). And to make your best 2 players most effective, they need space to work. So when I think who I want around Jrue & Tatum, it's a spacer like Niko. It's draft prospects like DeAndre Hunter or Darius Garland.
If you told me that we'd get Randle for $12 mil/yr and off the bench, count me in. but while I see a lot of positives in Randle & his game, I question the fit with Jrue & Tatum

That is also a great point betonit .
Seems as though randle wants to be here and you can't put a price on that.
Him and jrue taking the challenge and add Tatum and brown to that mix.
