Miami Heat Rumors: Anonymous Exec Links Julius Randle But Then Buffers Take

Though you can say that it can, almost, assuredly be proclaimed that their problems are ones that can be addressed internally, at this point, which means that they shouldn’t feel the need to have to bring in another piece, it again, perhaps, wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world either.

And there are names out there. In fact, one anonymous executive has linked them to a former Kentucky Wildcat power forward to pair with their existing duo of stars from Big Blue Nation.

"Miami is probably the big team that will be looking for a power forward and he would at least be interesting there with Bam (Adebayo) and Jimmy Butler. They’d have to make up for him on the defensive end, but they are good at scheming that way and they’ve been really bad on the offensive end."
"The Knicks would have to take back (Duncan) Robinson and a couple of their young guys like (Omer) Yurtseven and (Nikola Jovic), something like that. The Knicks would have to trust Obi (Toppin) to take that spot, too. You could make it work but it might not be the best thing for either side, really,” the executive told Heavy Sports."

With the anonymous executive telling Heavy.com that the Knicks would deal with the Lakers as well in an unquoted excerpt of the piece, a former home for Randle, the last sentence of the whole spew during the Miami Heat portion of the show that is quoted above is most key.

As the executive notes, “it might not be the best thing for either side, really”. Which is almost right.

Let’s talk about that.
