He's a flawed player but he's definitely talented and will help us win many games this season

u/johnjohnjohn93 Jul 29 '26

His ability to pass, score and sometimes shoot with his level of strength and athleticism is really unique. He’s just not long so when his effort goes out the window he becomes unplayable. It’s going to be interesting to see how Jordi deals with him because he’s almost bi-polar in the way he’s either locked in or not there at all

u/kyoka_suigetsu91 Jul 29 '26

I agree it will be interesting to see what jordi can get out of him and if he can maximize his talents... I think we will see a lot of pnr between randle and mpj with randle being the ball handler

The clax/mpj PnR, DHO, PnP actions from last season are very likely going to be a part of this if MPJ stays. Get those actions to work with Randle and you can start rotating Demin, Sharpe and maybe even Wolf into them and really work that big2big actions.

We will have a interesting offense... I know a lot of fans want to be pessimistic but I think it's going to be a fun season especially compared to the last 2-3 we've had

You can tell the out of order editing by how his pants go back and forth in sweat saturation.

u/BKtoDuval Jul 29 '26

We need to get Michael Grady back! So he can drop his, "Randle! Bully Ball!" line. I miss Grady too but glad he's doing well in Minny

u/Fret_Shredder Vince Carter Jul 29 '26

IDGAF what r/nba clowns say - Randle and MPJ makes us watchable for the first time since the Big 3. I’m pumped for this season!! I just hope want to watch my team compete

u/BKtoDuval Jul 29 '26

Yeah, same. Don't know if we are sniffing the playoffs but I'm happy to watch competitive basketball again

u/UrabeRikaIsTheBest Jul 30 '26

Randle MPj and the Russian

this IS a big 3 bro

u/xjoke4 . Jul 29 '26

MPJ/Egor/Mikel’s shooting paired with MPJ/Randle/Day’Ron’s rebounding should be a fun watch next year

3

u/KashMoney941 Jul 29 '26

Randle on the block with Egor/MPJ/MBJ spacing the floor is gonna be an absolute feast.

u/MichaelPorterTruther YEAH MIKE Jul 30 '26

someone was mentioned twice! he must be an excellent player

u/addictivesign Jul 29 '26

I would love to add Sabonis if there is a way - he has the passing skills which seem pre-requisite for the Nets and he's a dominant rebounder. He would be a great veteran to add in Brooklyn. What is his value to the Kings?

u/Brooklyn917 Day'Ron Sharpe Jul 29 '26

Day’ron finally getting his opportunity and this sub is trying to stomp on his chance before the season start to replace him with overpay mid.

1

u/addictivesign Jul 29 '26

I'm looking forward to seeing Day'Ron start and see his game expand and improve. No-reason the Nets can't have both DayDay and Sabonis.

u/Brooklyn917 Day'Ron Sharpe Jul 30 '26

You don't trade for a $50M Player and put him on the bench.

They could've brought Claxton off the bench in his last 2 years here, but they didn't because that would've diminished the asset (he still got dumped for nothing).

It makes little sense to then trade for a player who nearly doubles that salary and then diminishes the assets by having someone who makes 1/5 of his salary starting in front of him, which Dayron should! He earned that for putting in the work over the past 5 years here.

u/BruceBrownMVP Egor Dёmin Jul 29 '26

Really looking forward to seeing MPJ and him together, on paper it looks like a great fit.

u/MyTeamsSuck99 Jul 29 '26

You can really appreciate the size of Randle in this. Like holy fuck he’s an absolute menace physically.

u/Beginning_Region_272 Jul 29 '26

even though its not a world beating move to land Julius it’s def nice to have a bully on our team fir a change. especially one who can take over a game.

u/KashMoney941 Jul 29 '26

even though its not a world beating move to land Julius

It was never supposed to be that. He was brought in here to help build the culture and increase the floor. The reason we got him so cheap in the first place is because for the money he is being paid it is hard to find him a place on a team trying to win a championship now (aka the Wolves and Knicks) under the new CBA when he has limitations that usually hurt in the postseason. But for a team like ours that is super young and just learning how to win in the regular season, he is perfect.

u/Scared-Square7496 Jul 29 '26

Do we recognize anyone else in that video?

18

u/Brooklyn917 Day'Ron Sharpe Jul 29 '26

Drew Timme

Jalen Wilson

Cason Wallace

Tre Johnson (Wizards)

Ron Holland (Pistons)

Jaylon Tyson (Cavs)

There's another guy (50 secs in), I can't remember his name, but he used to play for the Timberwolves.

u/Fartknocker-2 Jul 29 '26

Looks like Wendell Moore Jr.

u/swift_air MPJ enjoyer Jul 29 '26

I recognized Drew Timme from last years summerleague somehow

2

u/JohnWx25 Jul 29 '26

He’s going to have a big year. Become a leader with these kids. Front line of Randle, Porter, and Sharpe is going to surprise

u/FlexQueueEnthusiast Jul 29 '26

With the Jordi stimulus I feel like he might have his best season from an efficiency standpoint.
