Three-time all-star Julius Randle goes to the Nets. I'm assuming he's gonna be a little insulted by the fact that it was him and the 28th pick in the draft, and what Minnesota got back was the 33rd pick in the draft. So Minnesota said, "Let me send that contract over there and get five picks worse in tonight's draft just so I can get him the hell out of here," three-time all-star Julius Randle.
Domonique Foxworth· Panelist0:23
And he has to go back to New York after they won a championship on the team that traded him away for the player who had the hugest impact in that run. That has to hurt. He's gonna be in Brooklyn looking over the water, looking at them celebrate all year long.
Tony Calatayud· Panelist0:38
We know who won the trade finally, 'cause it was, like, a question at the beginning. Do you trade, you know, Karl-Anthony Towns and Julius Randle is at a wash, they're kind of the same player.
Domonique Foxworth· Panelist0:46
Who won? Who won?
Tony Calatayud· Panelist0:47
Who won? [laughs] He's had a weird career.
Domonique Foxworth· Panelist0:50
Yes.
Tony Calatayud· Panelist0:51

Dan, you're lying," 'cause he's not that good a player. He's an inefficient player. He's somebody who's very good at 18-foot jumpers when they need people who are good at 30-foot jumper. The whole game changed around him. He used to be a good player. My God, would he have been good in the '50s. In the, in the '50s, like, Bob Cousy wouldn't have known what to do with all of that.
Tony Calatayud· Panelist1:25
I mean, to be fair, in, like, the early 2000s he would've been really good, too.
Dan Le Batard· Host1:28
Yeah, but in the '50s he
