He can still shoot extremely well, and that floater is locked in. He’s just been worse at finding daylight because he’s slower, but he’s capitalizing on it pretty damn well when he finds it

Hyperextended one knee and the other knee was already fucked up.

I’d love to have him if Dallas will trade him. But I don’t think they will.

Eh gimme Luka Doncic!

Id like to him play for a couple months post injury first

He is by far the best fit for this team.

I’m not on the hate Randle train like most of our sub is. He’s simply run into an unstoppable force (Wemby). Nobody is going to look good against him and Wemby disrupts everything that Randle is good at. Randle is a positive player on a good contract.

With that said, he probably can’t be your #2 guy when you have to go through the Spurs or OKC or both every year, but how many guys are actually able to be the #2 against those teams? It’s sort of a foolish exercise. Sometimes the other team is just better no matter what you do. I do think trading him for Kyrie though would really open up a lot of stuff in particular becuase it allows Naz to get into the starting lineup and him and Rudy play very well together. You trade for Kyrie and you extend the window another 2 years to compete for a chip before having to retool around Ant’s prime.

except for the whole fox contract issue lol

It would solve “some” problems but I think would be a net negative for the Spurs overall.

Randle would be better at guarding bigger players, which has been an issue at times. That being said it’s addressable already, Castle has done admirably guarding up, and Barnes+KJ+CB can all guard 4s and 5s as well.

On offense, the spurs shooting is probably worse, transition offense is certainly worse, and they lose some ability to rotate the guards and keep them fresh.

It’s hard to evaluate if this is a Randle problem or a Wolves offense problem, but I haven’t been impressed with Randle’s ability as a connective piece/passer in the flow of the offense.

To add on to this, KJ and Randle have very similar games already, making the both of them redundant. Even if you think Randle is better (and it’s arguable bc of the passing+shooting concerns) KJ is at worse 80% of Randle.

I don’t exactly think Fox has been unimpeachable but he fits this team way better imo.

There’s few people I’d want less on the Spurs than Randle. He’s just not a Spur.

Are we seriously looking at Randle’s performance and thinking he’d bring anything but problems? His personality is at the antipode of the Spurs’ culture, and an ISO post scorer is the very last thing we need in our system. He doesn’t even rebound well or stretch the floor. I wouldn’t even take him for free.

Why is fox a problem for this team? He can become our Manu for this generation off the bench if need be and Harper starts or Harper can keep scorching bench units for the time being. Can Castle or Harper or Vassel or Vic bring the ball up and run the offense just as well? Yea, that’s kind of a Spurs thing by design tho, and has nothing to do with Fox.

No thanks, Fox isn’t even a problem for the spurs. More elite ball handlers/play makers the better, having two guys that can be on ball at all times is killer

That would actually be a fun trade. And Spurs could keep Randle on a very short leash cuz they actually could afford to.

Arguably he’s on fucking 0 right now. He had an injury on one going into the playoffs, and hyperextended his other during first round.

Dosunmu is already in that combo guard role.

We need a legit scorer who can put up 30.

His first step and his jump are gone right now. He’s scoring off of pure footwork and shotmaking. His main asset in the PnR and when playmaking is being able to force help prematurely by getting by his guy quickly. Without that Ant isn’t a good playmaker and so the PnR is struggling ad.

You ever seen Rudy try to catch the ball as the roll man?

Teams send the blitz every time. It’s the main reason Ant spent a whole offseason practicing threes off the screen. 

Spurs are wisely sending help defense on Ant every time Rudy comes up to screen. Mitch is coaching super well right now, but the fact is we just don’t have the personnel to counter 

Quite the opposite. Ant is having a down but regularly normal series at 24ppg on 50/40/90. Against Denver he shot below 37% from the field.

Nah

You can have Randle

Hope you guys find a way to solve the same problem we got. At least we have guys who sometimes show up.

Cade truly out there by himself lmao.

Pelicans. What are they going to do with both Randle and Zion?

dejounte is not a fit with ant and is a hige injury risk. no thank you lmao

ANT does not average more turnovers than assists

Playmaker isn’t just passer.

 its not ant lmao, he avgs more TO than assists.

you don’t need to lie to try to make your point.

this playoffs he is 2.7apg/2.4tov. this whole season 3.⁷⁄₂.9.

no, he does not average more turnovers than assists 

Spurs double him the moment he crosses half-court, team outside of him shooting 32% from three, and the only off-ball guard we had to free up Ant had a season ending injury. Where would he get assists?

Ant averages 26/7/5 for his playoff career even with all the shortened injury games this year. 

Also playmaking is more than getting assist. Curry averaged less than 5 this year, but his off-ball gravity and ability to create his own shot / break down a defense to open up for others is the definition of playmaking.

Would you say Steph isn’t a playmaker? 

Ant is at like 6.2 AST / 3TO over the past 2 playoffs. That’s pretty good.

Donovan Mitchell is 3.⁵⁄₂ over the last 2 and 4.⁵⁄₃ over his whole career…
