[The Oldtimer]

I get sense you just might be permanently butthurt about it.

Yeah I miss the Sonics.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I just got done watching the Wrestlemania replay.

I know it's fake. But, Rousey is a incredible athlete.

I'm shocked she did so well.

She was fantastic.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yeah I miss the Sonics.

Howdy, OT....

The Kemp, Shrempf, Glove, Hawkins Sonics were dope.

...and you were right, Westbrook did get drafted by the Sonics....

 

[Wamu]

Yeah I miss the Sonics.

Never was a Sonics fan but the Glove & the Reign Man were fun to watch.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Randle making himself a ton of money.

He had a really good season.....but like Gordon it was a contract year.

It'll be interesting to see him play next season,......wherever he is.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Randle can't walk unless you let him.

Gordon has more star power because of his athleticism.

But, I don't know that he's actually better than Mr. Bully Ball.

Bully ball at 65'9"?

Randle has looked good- i just worry about a guy who is 6' 9", does not play any D and cant shoot a 3....the rebounding and inside presence are obvious big plusses, but again....this nba is all about skill sets and fit.

 

[The Oldtimer]

I'm a UCLA fan.

But, I did not see this kid coming.

When he got drafted, I admit I thought he was a huge reach.

It's particularly shameful considering he graduated from the same High School as me, albeit decades apart.

He worked really hard to improve.

Yeah when the Sonics drafted Westbrook 4th in the 1st round, I said WTF. If I remember correctly he was 3rd team all PAC 10 (12).

Agree.

But, the Lakers know what they are getting with Randle and know how he fits with what they have now.

If they wiff on George and LeBron, why wouldn't they keep the guy they developed over going out to get a guy that is marginally better, at best?

It will take a max offer to pry Gordon away and the Magic may still match.

 

[Black Adam]

Yeah I miss the Sonics.

Me too...

Maybe the Clips'll take up the mantle...?

Read a very speculative article that said the Mavs were going to try to sign Cousins and Randle.

I don't think they have enough money unless Matthews opts opt.

Thanks Mecca. Kevin Durant was also drafted by the Sonics (2007). Always nice to hear from you.

I agree with you--- if they whiff on LeBron id prob bring Randle back as long as the deal is reasonable- esp. if its a reasonable enough deal where they could move him with little effort if they absolutely needed to.

I also think no matter how talented you are - its hard to be a 6'9" guy in this league without a 3 pt shot if you also are a defensive liability.

Since Gordon would be way more expensive i think id prob shy away from it--- esp. because thats some risk---- ideally i wouldnt give either guy more than 2-3 years- though thats likely unrealistic.

L you still watching wrasslin'...?

That's just mean. But very funny.

Interesting.

Hey wiggy you gonna get drunk on draft night so you don't remember the Browns fucking up the 1st & 4th picks? That's my game plan.

This seems kinda low. But, would make keeping him a no brainer if true.

ESPN's Bobby Marks estimates Randle's market to be around $12-14 million per year, and a team such as Dallas, Brooklyn, Atlanta or Sacramento could have the ability to offer Randle something in the neighborhood of $56 million over four years.

My Daughter and Husband love that Shit.

So, it was either watch First Take or the Wrestlemania replay.
