And how do you see Zion and Randle meshing

Only have to worry about 15% of the season.

Agreed. I remember they said we were interested in him also. He would have helped us but instead he’s helping the Lakers.

It’s just top 4 protected, I wouldnt call that heavily protected. But Ainge should have done better. Maybe top 2. Kinda suprised with him.

Lol a Pels forum and a Malik Beasley thread

This forum continues to light it up

Correct, though not sure what that has to do with not being able to offer Randle near $20mil?

We had cap space. We could have beaten or matched the offer by the Knicks. The team didn't want Randle (probably cause of his ties to Davis) and let him walk for nothing..

EVerything you just said is wrong. We could not have offered Randle anywhere near what he got. Again, not worth wasting my time explaining, but I'll just say, the sooner you realize that and read and comprehend what people tell you, the less you'll get ridiculed for bad takes, because you've repeated this bad take over and over and over and over, and it makes you look a bit silly since the answer in detail has been given you to multiple times and you ignore it and then post the same incorrect thing as you're doing here.

I have never seen anyone ever say that we didn't sign him cause we didn't have the money or space. I have seen people say he sucked or the Knicks overpaid. But never what you are proposing. So I will ask you to please explain it to again, if you have done it previously.

I do understand he was a FA and we did not have bird rights. But we had a ton of cap space to sign him outright. Why couldn't we?

They used it to bring in JJ and Favors. One of the top reasons not to keep Randle was he and Zion hunted in largely the same space.

Hindsight says Randle could have been pretty useful the past several years, but that's only because of the injuries. Pretty much any complaint about the last 4 years could be shut down by Zion being healthy. He hasn't been, so it makes all these "we should have done this or that" seem legit. But probably the main ones that are legit would be, we should have drafted Garland/put more on the table for Turner, and we shouldn't have hired SVG. Although I think you can argue that SVG paved the way for the team being so receptive to Willie, so even that could be debatable.
