1) Julius Randle is gone. It’s going to be interesting to see what he is worth out there, and who might want him. Good player in the right situation, I just have no idea what that situation might be. He’s kind of reminding me of the end of Al Jefferson's career, a little.
2) Given the situation NY is in with the apron and OG, I wonder if they will spend all day trying to get rid of those two first round picks they have (24, 25, I think) in order to lower the cap holds for those slots. I am sure they will want to exchange them for future first round picks, for both short-term financial reasons, and to recoup some of the picks they just sent out. Not sure who really wants to trade into this draft, but if a team wants to do that, I bet those picks are available.
3) OG Anunoby is represented by Leon Rose’s kid. They have been colluding (*cough*) I mean planning this for a while now. Unless we read something about OG changing his representation in the coming days, there is a 0% chance he does not re-sign in New York. You can write that one down in blood.
Boom! #3 already true, and NY working hard to make #2 work for them. They turned one of those picks into multiple future 2nds and chose a guy likely to be left abroad for a year with the other. Every dollar is going to matter for them this summer, with that OG contract.
