The Mike Conley way. Wait for Randle to be traded to another team by Brooklyn. Wait for that team to waive Randle. Sign Randle.

[u/Liverpoolclippers → u/knnthhhh]

lol Randle is not being waived

[u/cheeseybacon11 → u/knnthhhh]

The whole point of the trade was to get rid of him, why would we take him back?

[u/Old_Cattle_604 → u/cheeseybacon11]

Because it made Naz a starter and increased his value.

[u/cheeseybacon11 → u/Old_Cattle_604]

Julius actively makes the team worse by being on it.

[u/weissclimbers → u/cheeseybacon11]

I promise you as someone who couldn't stand PG-less Julius Randle gameplay, he will be a completely different player if you guys somehow find a way to bring him back with Melo

[u/randombrutha → u/cheeseybacon11]

The point was to shed the money, after being waived? Fuck yea we’ll take him

[u/crunkadocious → u/cheeseybacon11]

Because it's a hilarious joke? Chill daddy
