Jonathan, you somehow always outdo yourself with every newsletter, and we are really lucky to have you.
I will say that imo, the clip of Randle checking his phone means less than nothing. Is he bad? Sure. Do I want to see him traded, yes. Is that phone clip a damning indictment of how little he cares? No, not one bit.
We see evidence, imo way more solid empirical evidence, of his not wanting to give effort and his shitty attitude on the court itself.
People are passing around that phone footage like it proves something, and it really doesn't. It's fluff. Probably checking in on his kids, if anything.
There are many solid reasons why Randle needs to be gone. Footage of him checking his phone or being away from a huddle, are not it.
Belated thank you for the message Jessica! And I don't necessarily disagree with you on the phone part. I will say, though, that there does seem to be a general lack of engagement on his part. It's been one of the strangest turns of events I can remember as a fan of this team (which is saying something).

Richaun Holmes and Buddy Hield for Randle and Burks. We then flip Hield to the Lakers for THT and Nunn and a pick… if possible
