    10M / 4 yrs if signs. Maybe with the CP3 & Harden rub he could become sweeter to move Anderson thus making room for the next phase. Anthony Randolph is our bridge to LaBron. Sign him so we can dock the banana boat here in the ship channel and hang banners till we get tired of hanging them. Yes please.

    Have always liked his game, just not his attitude.

    If he has learned how to be a humble role player, hell yes.

    This times ten, with CP3 and a soft but well structured coach, AR could/should find the support he needs to be successful. He has a lot of failure in the NBA but all could be leading to a perfect storm scenario we may have now. It will only work if he has humbled himself to fit within the system. The skills, size and talent have always been there. IF it is ever going to happen for him —> it’s here & now.


    Missing on Melo maybe a godsend if he were to sign. Please, sign him long and low, please.

    His rim protection has become more consistent and he's also developed a shot, a legit jumper that he didn't have early in his career. Still runs and jumps like a gazelle.

    He does know his hoops, gotta give credit where it's due but sometimes the stuff he comes up with baffles the s*** out of me this being one of them.

    So, where would you rank AR among Capela, Nene, Black, and Nanu?

    Imagine if we had a uthoff and Randolph? What is morey thinking? Both guys are significantly better than our starters at 4/5. It’s like morey doesn’t even want to win

    NBA - NBA - NBA - NBA - Kicked off of four teams, now in Siberia. ;)

    In all seriousness, I'd love to see him get a chance. But then again, every single person that has ever gambled on Anthony Randolph has come up with nothing but Joey Diaz's monkey in their hands.

    I had a dream: Clint Capela develops an automatic, Tim Duncan-style bank shot. Yes, Capela with a face-up game. Ruined my sheets.

    It's hard to say because they don't play against each other nor the same competition. AR seems to have all the tools to play in the league but for whatever reason isn't now.

    The part I found baffling was saying none of our bigs are as close to being as good as a guy who couldn't stick around numerous teams in the association.

    His game is very different from our bigs in that he's more mobile and has a better perimeter game. Our bigs are all PnR bigs so hard to compare.

    That’s insane.
    Feels like he should be mid 30s easily.

    I’d love to take a look at AR on this squad.

    There’s got to be something wrong with him or his situation ($ wise maybe he’s getting paid extremely well over there?) because he seems like a prototypical 4 in today’s NBA. Athletic, can hit threes, not amazing defender but can protect the rim at times, etc.

    You gotta wonder about his locker room presence and attitude.

    Is this for real? How the **** is this old thread not locked yet?? Randolph was a scrub in the NBA when he was last seen 3 years ago. He'll be playing overseas for the rest of his career so why the **** are we still talking about him? He's better than nobody.
