I thought as much. Nothing surprising here. He isn't worth the max, but he is a RFA. Lakers are going to be screwed either way.
Makes no sense for the Lakers. Randel owned Capela when they played each other. More physical, pushed Capela around like a rag doll. Capela had no answer for him defensively.
Let's say they do it. Let's say Randle even agrees. The lakers will match, after dragging it out for three days and letting the cap hit stay on the books hindering rockets movement options. Also, chances are we use most of the MLE to do it. But sure?
