Category: #30 Julius Randle

Why Randall did not stay in the Lakers left the Lakers to where?

I believe those who watch the news regularly know that Randle came to the Lakers in 2014. At that time, Los Angeles was the dream of many stars, they all want to stay in Los Angeles all the time. But Randall is different, he likes to be free and unrestrained.

In 2018 the Lakers came to a player named James, and it is well known that this star is great. Because of the existence of James, so the Lakers have higher and stricter requirements for Randall, this time Randall has been very uncomfortable, before he came to the Lakers as soon as he said, he just need to be free not to be tied up, now came a James, he does not want to play with James piece, the heart pressure. And in the meantime the Lakers are asking for Randall one right after the other. Randall then offered to quit the Lakers, at that time, how unbelievable, because into the Lakers and can stay in the Lakers star is very rare, people feel that such a good opportunity Randall but do not cherish. But Randall does not think so, he believes in his own pursuit of self, and so Randall left the Lakers.

See here I believe we all want to know where Randall went after leaving it, left the Lakers Randall came to the Pelicans, but not for long, just playing a season, the average score per game is 21.4 points, of which the rebounds are 8.7 points, assists are 3.1 points. Randall felt that this was not the effect he wanted and switched to the Knicks, this switch ushered in the peak of his life, why say so, because in the Knicks he met his own bole – Payne. Randle said in an interview: “He pushed me to the limit, let me go beyond what I thought was the limit, let me be myself, my biggest goal is to be great and not let him down”.

In this latest season, Randle broke his own record with 23.2 points per game, including 11.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists. I don’t know if you guys really know Randle, but I think he totally deserves to be an All-Star,” said Payne, Randle’s “booster. It’s not easy to really achieve that goal, you have to work hard every day, blend your character and intelligence, put your heart and soul into your work, and think every day about the successes you’ve had and what you can do to make your team stronger in the future”.

Julius Randle, an All-Star lineman with high ball skills and emotional intelligence

The NBA trade market has been open for some time, with Durant’s 4-year $198 million contract extension with the Bucks, the big fish on the market today have basically been chosen, today I’m going to talk about a player who is not a big name, but also made the All-Star team, he just took a new 4-year $117 million contract, he is Julius Randle.

Randle made a meteoric improvement in his 2020-21 season, able to contribute 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game while shooting 41 percent from 3-point range.

Was the main catalyst for the Knicks to make the playoffs for the first time since 2013. With a stunning performance that led the team in several categories, Randle was named an All-Star for the first time in his career, in addition to being honored as the Most Improved Player for the 2020-21 season.

Randle is a player with high ball movement + emotional intelligence. First of all, he just took this 4-year $117 million contract, for himself, for the team, can be called a win-win. For Randle, although he performed well last season, the Knicks after many years back into the playoffs, but Randle knows he can not be proud.

He and Leonard, Durant, Willow, Paul and others are far apart, the only youth is the capital, but who can not guarantee what will happen next, so take advantage of the good performance last season, hurry to sign a contract in advance, being in a business league, Randall made such a choice, not smart also?

Secondly, Randle, who was picked by the Lakers that year and played next to Kobe, has always been more humble and Kobe has often inspired him to move forward.

Randle played one game injured in his first year as a rookie, and the second year was the real start, but Kobe didn’t feel that Randle could fool around when he was a rookie.

Once playing on the road, the team had a free day, Randall’s plan was to get together with family and friends for fun, but Kobe said, NO, we should go to training. Randall said later that if the person who said this was someone else, he simply ignored it, but the person who said this was Kobe, so he chose to go to training with Kobe because he knew that even Kobe was working so hard, what qualification did he have to slacken?

Playing beside Kobe, know Kobe’s style very well, only follow his footsteps and try to grow, in order not to be given up by the boss, in order to learn more, Randall is not smart also?

In the summer of 2018, James came to the Lakers, the Lakers in order to quickly build a championship team lineup, sent several players, including Randall, to the shelves, before James went, Randall has been deep in the rumors, so Randall left before saying that they finally do not have to be shrouded in shadow every day.

At that time Randall has begun to show a little strength, but the Lakers for the sake of the overall consideration, cleaning up Randall, including a few people really helpless, and Randall himself took the initiative to let the Lakers trade themselves, do not use the team option, so he can continue to look for a new home in a free body.

As we know later, Randall went to the Pelicans and signed a 2-year, $18 million contract. Knowing that he is not the Lakers’ cup of tea, Randall offered to trade, not smart either?

Knicks 4 years 117 million official contract extension Randle

The New York Knicks and All-Star power forward Julius Randle officially completed the signing of a contract extension. The Knicks extended Randle early with a four-year contract worth a total of $117 million, which will take effect after the fulfillment of the three-year contract worth a total of $62.1 million that Randle signed in 2019 for the upcoming season, bringing Randle’s annual salary to 19.8 million dollars and will be raised to $23.76 million during the 2022-23 season.

There are some details in the contract that also came to light at the same time. The contract is only $106.4 million guaranteed, with $10.6 million in bonuses, including trigger clauses such as being selected as an All-Star, killing the first round of the playoffs, being selected as the best defensive team of the year for a burst or two, plus a 15% trade guarantee, and a player option worth $29.46 million for the final year of the contract.

The Knicks gave Randle the right to choose his future (player option) in the final year in order to get him to accept an average annual salary of less than $30 million, which is why Randle, an All-Star who averaged 24.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6 assists in 37.6 minutes per game last season, was willing to accept a contract that was well below the top salary.

It’s clear from the Knicks’ strategy for bringing in players this year that they have established a team-building mindset with Randle at its core, adding players like Evan Fournier and Kemba Walker around him to help relieve the offensive pressure he carries, while the growth of Emmanuel Quickley and R.J. Barrett will also play an important role in the team’s improvement.

Julius Randle embodies everything you want your star player and leader to do, and we couldn’t be happier with the long-term commitment we’ve made to each other,” said Knicks president of basketball affairs Leon Rose. His hard work and dedication to the team is second to none, and what he did last season will not soon be forgotten by New Yorkers, and we can’t wait to see what he does next.”

Randle is clearly not satisfied with what he has achieved so far, and he has been working hard this offseason with coach Tyler Reiff on his ball-handling skills, especially mastering the mid-range jump shot off the dribble. Last season, Randle hit 50.3% of his jump shots, but only 41.5% of his mid-range jump shots. If he can continue to improve his shooting percentage in this area, it will not only make him a more efficient scorer, but will also open up space for his teammates to attack from the outside.
